Notis

Answer a specific customer message with the right context

Keep the conversation coherent while bringing in relevant details from Backendless.

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 a customer often means searching records and then finding the right message to reply to.

  • Reply in context to a specific message.
  • Use relevant Backendless details to avoid asking for information already available.
  • Keep the response tied to the customer's actual question.

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 use the webhook's conversation and message reference, consult relevant Backendless information, and send a concise contextual reply.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real conversation and verify the referenced message and recipient.

Questions about this workflow

What does the webhook need to provide?

It needs enough information to identify the WhatsApp conversation and specific message to reply to, along with any available request context.

Does this automatically read all WhatsApp conversations?

No. This workflow starts from the supplied webhook context and uses the Send reply action for the identified message.
