Collect event options and choose in WhatsApp
Send a location, date, or topic to a webhook and get relevant public event findings organized as a tappable WhatsApp list.
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
Finding and comparing event options can scatter details across browser tabs and make a simple choice take too long.
- Bring search findings into a structured chat list.
- Make it easy to review options on a phone.
- Start the research with a focused request from a webhook.
Setup
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 to search the supplied event topic and criteria with Ceramic, then present suitable findings as a WhatsApp list.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real location and event query, and make sure the recipient has texted first.
Questions about this workflow

The send interactive list action supports up to ten options.
Can the WhatsApp list be delivered to someone who has never messaged us?
