Get competitor updates from Ceramic in WhatsApp
Turn a competitor name and topic into a focused web search, then get the useful findings in a WhatsApp message.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Keeping up with competitor changes means repeatedly searching the web and remembering to share the findings with yourself or your team.
- Review relevant public web content without switching between search and chat.
- Keep a short, readable competitor update in WhatsApp.
- Start a targeted search from an external webhook.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ceramic and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis what competitor and topic to search with Ceramic and how to summarize results in a WhatsApp message.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real competitor query and webhook request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ceramic start this workflow on its own?
No. Ceramic Search provides search, but no trigger events are available here. An HTTP request to a Notis webhook starts this workflow.
What should the webhook request include?
Include the competitor name and search topic so Notis has the query to send to Ceramic.
Can the WhatsApp message be sent to any number?
The recipient must have texted your WhatsApp number first for a regular text message to be delivered.
