Share a useful WhatsApp location after a Beaconstac scan
Help an interested contact find the right place with a location message prompted by a scan.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send location
Send a location message to a whatsapp number. note: the location will be shared with the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
After someone scans a QR code, finding and sharing the correct venue location can add unnecessary back-and-forth.
- Share a location without composing directions manually
- Respond with location relevant to scan context
- Make venue follow-up easier to act on
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beaconstac and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the location to share for the relevant scan context.
- 3Choose a webhook trigger and have Beaconstac send the relevant scan notification to its URL.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with a real notification and location.
- 5Send the location only to a recipient who has texted your business.
Questions about this workflow
Does the scan notification contain a location?
The source description does not specify location fields. The webhook or your instruction must provide the relevant location.
Can this share a location with any scanner?
The supplied action details say a location is shared only if the recipient has texted your business.
Can I share different locations for different codes?
Yes, if the incoming data identifies the code or context and you provide the corresponding location information.
