Use Byteforms context in a WhatsApp reply
Answer the conversation with the details the person already shared in your form.
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
Useful form context and the related WhatsApp message can be separated across apps, making a relevant reply harder to write quickly.
- Bring submitted details into an existing conversation
- Reply in context to a specific message
- Avoid rechecking the form while composing a response
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Byteforms and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for contextual replies.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to use the submission details to answer the related WhatsApp message and what to do if the matching conversation is unclear.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and connect the process that sends an HTTP request to its endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real submission and its matching WhatsApp conversation.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new message or reply to a specific one?
It uses the WhatsApp send-reply action to create a contextual reply to a specific message.
Can this be used when the contact has never messaged the business?
The reply is delivered only if the recipient has texted your WhatsApp business first.
What if the submission cannot be matched to a conversation?
Tell Notis in the instruction to report the ambiguity rather than guess. The workflow depends on enough information to identify the intended conversation and message.
