Welcome new subscribers on WhatsApp
Turn a new signup into a warm, timely welcome without adding another inbox check.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
New subscribers can wait too long for a personal welcome while you switch between email and messaging tools.
- Acknowledge a new signup promptly.
- Keep the welcome short and focused on one useful next step.
- Use only recipients who have separately opted in to WhatsApp and can receive a free-form message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BlueFox Email and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel, or open Automations, then New Automation in the portal.
- 3Tell Notis to send a brief welcome to the WhatsApp opted-in number in each new subscriber webhook, including one next step.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real, consented signup example to the webhook and confirm the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does BlueFox Email provide the trigger for this workflow?
No BlueFox Email trigger event is listed. Choose the Notis webhook trigger and have an existing signup process send the new subscriber details to it.
Can this message go to every email subscriber?
Only if they also gave permission to receive WhatsApp messages and the message is eligible to send. An email subscription alone does not establish WhatsApp consent.
What if the recipient has not messaged the business first?
A free-form WhatsApp message may not be delivered. Use an approved WhatsApp template where appropriate, and follow the recipient's consent and messaging rules.
