Offer pipeline status choices in WhatsApp
Give teammates a compact menu for the build status or follow-up they need to check.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send interactive list
Send an interactive list message to a whatsapp number. list messages allow users to select from up to 10 options in a structured format. great for menus, catalogs, or choices. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A broad build update can leave teammates asking the same status questions in separate messages.
- Offer up to ten structured choices in one message.
- Include relevant pipeline context supplied with the webhook.
- Make common status follow-ups easier to answer.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and WhatsApp once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it for pipeline status choices.
- 3Tell Notis to send an interactive list of the requested status options using the pipeline context supplied with each webhook.
- 4Select a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pipeline example and a recipient who has messaged your WhatsApp business.
Questions about this workflow
Does selecting a list option run a Buildkite action?
No. The listed action sends a WhatsApp interactive list; no follow-on Buildkite action is included in this workflow.
How many choices can the list contain?
The action supports up to ten options.
How does the workflow receive pipeline information?
Buildkite exposes no trigger events in this package, so configure a Notis webhook call that includes the context needed for the message.
