Make urgent Apilio events hard to miss
Reserve a short WhatsApp message for the conditions that deserve immediate attention, with the reason and requested action up front.
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
When every notification looks the same, urgent issues can blend into routine updates.
- Keep urgent messages short and specific.
- State what needs attention first.
- Separate action-worthy events from routine monitoring.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apilio and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the urgent alert.
- 3Tell Notis to send a concise WhatsApp message with the urgent condition, context, and requested action from Apilio.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real urgent event and confirm the recipient has messaged first.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know an event is urgent?
Define the urgency condition in Apilio and have it call the webhook only when that condition is met.
Can the message include event details?
Yes, if Apilio includes those details in the webhook request.
Can this reach someone outside the messaging window?
For eligible outside-window messages, use an approved template action instead.
