Turn an Apify finding into a one-tap WhatsApp decision
Share the key finding and a few clear options so a teammate can respond without composing a long message.
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

- Make a finding easy to review from a phone.
- Offer up to three clear response choices.
- Reduce back-and-forth for straightforward decisions.

- 1Connect Apify and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.

- 3Tell Notis to summarize the supplied finding and present the decision options as interactive buttons.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real finding; the recipient must have texted your WhatsApp number first.
