Collect volunteer availability with a WhatsApp button poll
Get a quick yes, no, or maybe from volunteers while you coordinate the event in ChMeetings.
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
Availability checks often turn into long message threads that are hard to summarize.
- Make availability easy to answer with a tap.
- Keep event planning follow-up in one concise message.
- Reduce the need to interpret scattered free-text replies.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ChMeetings and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the event availability poll.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis what event context to include and which three availability choices to offer.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event and one recipient who has already messaged the business number.
