Explain reservation changes clearly to guests
Tell guests what changed in one focused message that is easy to understand.
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
Manually translating reservation changes into guest updates takes time and can leave details unclear.
- Explain the change in plain language
- Reduce manual guest follow-up
- Keep the message focused on supplied changes
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 reservation change from the webhook request in a concise guest message.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reservation change and check the message for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
Which reservation changes can trigger this?
The workflow starts when an HTTP request reaches the webhook. Send it the specific change information you want Notis to explain.
Will it send a message if the change details are incomplete?
The workflow should rely only on details included in the request. Include any important context needed for a clear message.
What if the guest has not texted us before?
The regular Send message action is delivered only if the recipient has texted first. A template may be needed depending on WhatsApp's messaging rules.
