Share project progress snapshots in WhatsApp
Send a useful visual update with a short explanation, so collaborators can see progress without opening another app.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send media
Send a media message to a whatsapp number. note: the media will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A status update can lose its impact when its supporting visual is separated from the conversation.
- Keep a visual update close to its explanation.
- Share a supplied image or document in the conversation.
- Reduce extra steps when communicating project progress.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to send the supplied project image or document with a short caption based on the provided Basecamp progress context.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with a supported real media file and a recipient who has texted your WhatsApp number.
