Keep important task changes in your WhatsApp thread
When a task changes, see what changed in a reply that stays connected to your WhatsApp conversation.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified.
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
Task edits and status changes can be easy to miss when you are focused on other work.
- Bring task updates into a conversation you already check.
- Keep the notice tied to a specific WhatsApp message.
- Review changed task information without opening the list first.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: when a task in my chosen list is updated, send a brief WhatsApp reply summarizing the available updated details.
- 4Pick the Google Tasks Task Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task update and confirm the reply destination has an eligible WhatsApp conversation.
Questions about this workflow
Does Google Tasks provide a complete change history?
The trigger detects task modifications. Do not expect a full before-and-after history unless that information is supplied separately.
What does a contextual reply require?
The WhatsApp action replies to a specific message. Set the automation's instruction so Notis has the relevant conversation and message context available.
