Reply to candidate messages with recruiting context
Answer candidate questions with the relevant Ashby context close at hand and keep the reply attached to their message.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send reply
Send a reply to a specific message in a whatsapp conversation. this creates a contextual reply that shows which message you're responding to. note: the reply will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Answering candidate questions takes extra time when the recruiting record and the message thread are in different places.
- Keep the reply linked to the specific candidate message.
- Use supplied recruiting context to reduce lookup work.
- Surface gaps instead of inventing hiring details.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for candidate replies.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to draft a concise contextual reply from the supplied Ashby information and send it as a reply only when the message reference, candidate number, and eligibility are available.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real candidate question and verify the reply context and recipient.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow read WhatsApp conversations automatically?
The trigger is a Notis webhook, not a WhatsApp conversation event. Include the candidate message and relevant Ashby context in the request or prompt.
What if the record does not answer the question?
Have Notis report the gap for human follow-up rather than inventing an answer.
