Turn a data check into a quick WhatsApp choice
Fetch relevant information, then ask for one clear response with interactive buttons.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send interactive buttons
Send an interactive button message to a whatsapp number. button messages allow users to quickly respond by tapping up to 3 predefined buttons. perfect for yes/no questions, quick choices, or call-to-action scenarios. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A useful lookup can still leave a decision hanging when the next step is unclear.
- Pair a requested lookup with a clear follow-up choice.
- Let the recipient respond with a tap instead of composing a message.
- Keep a small decision attached to the relevant information.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect API Ninjas and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations.
- 3Tell Notis what API Ninjas information to fetch and which two or three response choices to offer the requested WhatsApp contact.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and report channel.
- 5Test with a real lookup and a recipient who has texted your WhatsApp business.
