Make a maintenance call from a Bolt IoT alert
Put the key reading and a few clear response choices in one message for a faster decision.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send interactive buttons
Send an interactive button message to a whatsapp number. button messages allow users to quickly respond by tapping up to 3 predefined buttons. perfect for yes/no questions, quick choices, or call-to-action scenarios. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Small operational decisions can stall when someone has to open a dashboard and write a reply from scratch.
- Offer up to three quick response choices
- Include the alert context provided by Bolt IoT
- Reduce back and forth for simple operational decisions

- 1Connect Bolt IoT and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the question and response choices to send.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with a real alert and confirm the button message is clear.
Questions about this workflow
How many buttons can the message include?
The WhatsApp action supports up to three predefined buttons.
Can the workflow decide whether maintenance is actually required?
Not from a reading alone unless you provide the decision rule or the webhook includes that determination.
Can the recipient receive the interactive message without starting a conversation?
No. The recipient must have texted the WhatsApp business number first.
