Notis

Check that recipients can access shared PDFs

A simple check-in can surface access issues before they become a stalled handoff.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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

Document access problems can stay hidden until a deadline is close.

  • Make access follow-up part of a regular routine.
  • Ask a focused question without composing it from scratch.
  • Catch handoff friction earlier in your process.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Api2pdf and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Describe in one instruction the access question and supply the recipient and document context.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real recipient who has texted first.

Questions about this workflow

Can this verify that the recipient opened the PDF?

No document access or view event is listed. This workflow sends a question and does not verify access.

Can the message reach a recipient who has not texted first?

The Send message action is delivered only if the recipient has texted first.
