Get a scheduled WhatsApp check-in on Apify tasks
Bring the task statuses you care about into one short update, so you can spot a stalled run without repeatedly checking dashboards.
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
Repeatedly checking task status interrupts focused work and makes problems harder to track.
- Review several supplied task statuses in one message.
- Surface errors or incomplete runs quickly.
- Keep routine checks out of your working memory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apify and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review the task status information available to it and send a concise digest of issues to your chosen number.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real set of task statuses; the recipient must have messaged your WhatsApp number first.
Questions about this workflow
Will the schedule query Apify by itself?
The schedule starts the Notis automation. The task status data must be available to Notis through the connected app context or supplied in the automation request.
Can this detect a task that has not completed?
It can flag a status present in the data it receives. Provide the relevant task statuses and any criteria you want Notis to apply.
Can the message go to a new contact?
The send-message action requires the recipient to have texted your WhatsApp number first.
