Choose your next step from Are.na research
Share Are.na references with Notis and have it shape a focused WhatsApp question with up to three quick response buttons.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send interactive buttons
Send an interactive button message to a whatsapp number. button messages allow users to quickly respond by tapping up to 3 predefined buttons. perfect for yes/no questions, quick choices, or call-to-action scenarios. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A large reference collection can leave the next step vague, making it easy to postpone a decision.
- Reduce a broad collection to a few concrete next-step options.
- Answer by tapping a button instead of composing another message.
- Keep the choice grounded in material you supplied from Are.na.
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 review the Are.na references you provide, ask one focused next-step question, and offer no more than three WhatsApp buttons.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test using one real reference set and confirm the recipient has messaged your WhatsApp number first.
