Offer a WhatsApp choice menu after a Beaconstac scan
Let a scan lead to a useful menu, so people can choose the next step without a long message exchange.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send interactive list
Send an interactive list message to a whatsapp number. list messages allow users to select from up to 10 options in a structured format. great for menus, catalogs, or choices. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
When scan follow-up offers several options, a manually written message can be hard to scan and answer.
- Present up to ten structured options
- Make next steps easier to understand
- Reduce manual clarification messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beaconstac and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the options and the scan context for the menu.
- 3Choose a webhook trigger and have Beaconstac send the relevant notification to its URL.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real scan example.
- 5Use the interactive list only when the recipient has texted your business.
