Why this helps
Follow-ups recorded in Backendless are easy to miss when there is no simple routine for reviewing them.
- Review follow-up candidates on a predictable schedule.
- Use approved WhatsApp templates for messages outside the 24-hour window.
- Avoid sending when a record lacks a clear recipient or follow-up reason.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to find Backendless records that are ready for follow-up and send the appropriate approved WhatsApp template when recipient and message context are present.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real eligible record and confirm the template is approved.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create or approve a WhatsApp template?
No. The action sends a template message. Create the template separately and confirm its approval before relying on it.
What records qualify?
Describe the fields and criteria your Backendless data actually contains in the automation instruction. Notis cannot infer a follow-up state that is not stored or supplied.
