Answer Employee Questions with the Right Context
Reduce the effort of looking up employee details before responding to a question.
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 the right HR detail before replying can slow down a simple employee question.
- Look up relevant details from BambooHR before replying.
- Keep the answer attached to the original WhatsApp message.
- Reduce manual context switching for HR.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the webhook's employee reference and question to find relevant BambooHR information and reply to the supplied WhatsApp message id.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real question and confirm the message reference and recipient are correct.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis answer every HR question automatically?
Limit the instruction to questions answerable from available BambooHR data. Route unclear or policy-dependent questions for human review.
What does the webhook need to include?
