Trigger
Recurring schedule

Action

Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Important guest context can be buried across records and missed during a busy shift handover.
- Put key arrival context in a familiar channel
- Support a consistent shift handover
- Reduce manual briefing prep
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 summarize supplied VIP arrival details into a brief for the intended team number.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger, set the schedule, and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real arrival record and ensure the team number has messaged the business first.

Use a recipient number that can receive WhatsApp messages from the business. The Send message action notes the recipient must have texted first.
Where does the scheduled workflow get its arrival details?
