Keep an Are.na project reference in view
Pick a project reference or intention in Are.na, tell Notis how it should guide your focus, and receive a short WhatsApp reminder on a schedule.
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
Project inspiration can disappear from view once the workday fills with messages and urgent tasks.
- Bring a selected project reference back into view at a chosen cadence.
- Keep the reminder tied to context you supplied instead of a generic notification.
- Make it easier to restart a project after interruptions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Are.na and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to turn the Are.na project reference you provide into one brief reminder with a clear next action.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real project reference and check that the text message recipient has initiated a WhatsApp conversation.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow read Are.na automatically?

Can the schedule send to someone who has not contacted us?
A regular WhatsApp text message is delivered only if the recipient has texted the number first.
What makes a reminder useful?
Supply a specific project context and ask Notis to include one concrete next action, keeping the message brief enough to scan.
