Keep CircleCI failure updates in the right WhatsApp thread
Put the build update beside the conversation it belongs to.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send reply
Send a reply to a specific message in a whatsapp conversation. this creates a contextual reply that shows which message you're responding to. note: the reply will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A separate alert can get lost when the team is already discussing the affected release.
- Keep failure context beside the relevant conversation.
- Reduce duplicate standalone alerts.
- Make it easier to follow the discussion and status together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and WhatsApp once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe the contextual reply you want in one instruction.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and send the failure event plus the relevant message context to it.
- 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real example and a recipient who has initiated the WhatsApp conversation.
Questions about this workflow
What does a contextual reply need?
The automation needs enough conversation and message context to identify the message to reply to. Supply missing context in the webhook request.
Can it reply to a message from someone who has never contacted the business number?
The action is limited to a recipient who has texted first.
