Turn a location request into a WhatsApp share
Send a place or destination request to a webhook, review the public web context, and share a relevant location in WhatsApp.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send location
Send a location message to a whatsapp number. note: the location will be shared with the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Location research and sharing often happen in separate steps, making it easy to lose the place someone asked about.
- Keep location research and sharing in one workflow.
- Respond to a specific location request from a webhook.
- Reduce manual switching between search results and WhatsApp.
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 place with Ceramic and share the relevant location in WhatsApp.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real location request and confirm the WhatsApp recipient has texted first.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ceramic provide geographic coordinates?
Ceramic is described as a public web search service. If the location action needs a precise location that the search does not provide, supply that information in the webhook request.
Can this send a location to a new WhatsApp contact?
The recipient must have texted your WhatsApp number first for a location message to be delivered.
What belongs in the webhook request?
Include the place name and enough context to distinguish it, such as a city or country.
