Keep the WhatsApp reply tied to the conversation
Answer the specific message that needs attention, while keeping the reply linked to its original context.
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
When follow-ups happen across LinkedIn and WhatsApp, it's easy to reply in the wrong place or lose the original question.
- Keep the response attached to the message it answers.
- Use supplied context to make the reply relevant.
- Reduce the chance of losing the conversation thread during a handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botdog and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the contextual reply workflow.
- 3In one instruction, provide the relevant lead context and identify the WhatsApp message to answer.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real inbound message from a contact who has texted first.
Questions about this workflow
Does this reply to a Botdog LinkedIn message?
No. The action sends a reply to a specific WhatsApp message. Use the webhook to pass context from your outreach process, then reply in WhatsApp.
What information is needed to reply to the right message?
The request must provide enough conversation context and the target message reference required by the WhatsApp action. Notis cannot supply history that is missing.
Can a reply be sent before the lead messages on WhatsApp?
The action notes delivery only when the recipient has texted first.
