Answer beach questions with a contextual reply
Turn a request into a conditions lookup and reply in the original WhatsApp conversation, with the response attached to the message.
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
A useful beach update can get lost when it is sent as a separate message without the question that prompted it.
- Keep the answer linked to the original message
- Summarize conditions returned by the API
- Reduce manual searching during a conversation

- 1Connect Beach Day API and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.

- 3Tell Notis to use the request details to look up the beach conditions and reply with a concise summary to the specified message.

- 5Test with one real request and message reference.
