Help buyers choose from a vehicle shortlist in WhatsApp
Give buyers a small, clear set of options and let them tell you which vehicle to discuss next.
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
Long vehicle lists are hard to review and make follow-up conversations drag on.
- Trim a larger result set into a few useful candidates.
- Let buyers signal interest with a quick tap.
- Keep the next conversation centered on a selected vehicle.

- 1Connect CarsXE and Whatsapp once in the Notis portal.

- 5Test with one real search and buyer number, and confirm the buyer has messaged first.
