Action

Why this helps
People miss deployment timing when updates are scattered across dashboards and ad hoc messages.
- Reuse a WhatsApp-approved template for consistent updates.
- Share timing and release context supplied for the scheduled run.
- Keep recipients informed without manually composing every update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and WhatsApp once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for deployment window updates.
- 3Tell Notis to send the approved WhatsApp template with the supplied deployment time and release context.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deployment window and verify the template is approved and recipients are eligible.
Questions about this workflow
Can this send outside the 24-hour conversation window?
Template messages are intended for messages outside the 24-hour window and for marketing or utility messages. The template must be approved by WhatsApp before use.
Where does the deployment timing come from?
Provide it through the data available to the scheduled run. No Buildkite trigger events are listed for this source.
Does the template get created automatically?
No. This workflow uses the Send template message action. Create and obtain approval for the template separately before running it.
