Answer image questions with a contextual WhatsApp reply
Give an image and its question to Astica, then put the answer right beside the message that prompted it.
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
Finding an image answer later is hard when it arrives as a separate message with no conversation context.
- Keep the answer attached to the original conversation
- Use image analysis to prepare a concise response
- Avoid manually switching between image and chat tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Astica ai and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for image question replies.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to analyze the provided image and question with Astica, then reply to the specified WhatsApp message with a concise answer.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select a report channel for run updates.
- 5Test with one real image question from a WhatsApp contact who has messaged first.
