Answer billing questions in the guest's message thread
Keep a billing answer connected to the question that prompted it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send reply
Send a reply to a specific message in a whatsapp conversation. this creates a contextual reply that shows which message you're responding to. note: the reply will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A billing answer sent without context can confuse guests and create more back-and-forth.
- Anchor the answer to the guest's specific question
- Use the relevant billing context supplied
- Reduce avoidable clarification messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apaleo and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to answer the specified billing question using only supplied billing context and reply to that message.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real question and confirm the reply references the intended message.
