Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send media
Send a media message to a whatsapp number. note: the media will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Attachments can be easy to overlook when a record and the conversation live in different places.
- Send media using the URL supplied with the request.
- Keep the attachment connected to its record context.
- Skip the manual download and re-upload step when a supported URL is available.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ApptiveGrid and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to send the supported media URL from each webhook request to its intended WhatsApp recipient with a brief context message.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real supported media URL and confirm the contact has messaged your WhatsApp number first.
