Collect interview confirmations with WhatsApp buttons
Make the next candidate response easy with a few clear choices tied to an Ashby interview update.
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
Recruiters spend time chasing interview confirmations and interpreting vague replies across separate tools.
- Offer a small set of clear response choices.
- Tie the prompt to supplied interview details.
- Reduce manual clarification for interview coordination.
Setup

- 1Connect Ashby and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for interview confirmations.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use the Ashby interview update to send up to three relevant confirmation choices, only when a candidate number and WhatsApp eligibility are supplied.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real interview update and verify the buttons and recipient.
