Get a weekly creative prompt from Are.na
Give Notis a set of Are.na references and a prompt style, then let a recurring schedule send a fresh nudge through an approved WhatsApp template.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send template message
Send a template message to a whatsapp number.
Why this helps
Good references can sit untouched because there is no simple, regular cue to turn them into action.
- Create a recurring nudge from a reference source you choose.
- Turn saved material into a small next step for a creative session.
- Use a WhatsApp template for scheduled outreach outside the customer service window.
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 use the Are.na references you provide to write one short weekly creative prompt and send it with the approved WhatsApp template you specify.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reference set and confirm the template is approved before relying on delivery.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis discover Are.na updates by itself?
No Are.na trigger events are listed. Provide the references or relevant Are.na material for Notis to use in its scheduled run.
Why does this use a template message?
WhatsApp requires templates for marketing or other messages sent outside the 24-hour conversation window. The template must be approved before it can be used.
Can the prompt change each week?
Notis can vary the prompt based on the Are.na material and instruction supplied for a run. The source material needs to be available to Notis.
