Explain guest billing updates in WhatsApp
Help guests understand a billing update with a short, readable message.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send message
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
Billing questions take longer when staff have to locate the latest details and write every update from scratch.
- Turn supplied billing details into clear language
- Reduce repetitive billing explanations
- Keep the message tied to the relevant stay
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 explain the billing update using only the details supplied in the webhook request.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real billing update and review the wording and recipient.
