Why this helps
Stakeholders may need release updates even when they are outside WhatsApp's 24-hour messaging window.
- Share deployment progress without composing each update manually.
- Use an approved template for messages outside the 24-hour window.
- Keep stakeholders informed with a repeatable status summary.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a WhatsApp message template and wait for WhatsApp approval before relying on it.
- 3Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and tell Notis to check Appveyor deployment status and send an approved template with the current status and available build details.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deployment and confirm the template is approved and usable.
Questions about this workflow
Can this send before WhatsApp approves the template?
No. WhatsApp must approve a template before it can be used.
Will the summary include a deployment URL or logs?
Only if that information is available from Appveyor and supplied to Notis. The workflow should not assume fields that the app does not provide.
