Make the next task decision with a WhatsApp tap
A changed due date or status can call for a decision. Put a small set of next steps in a WhatsApp button message.
Trigger
Task Details Changed
Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified.
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
After a task changes, deciding the next move can take more effort than the edit itself.
- Present up to three predefined choices in one message.
- Make a next-step decision without reopening the task list.
- Use detail changes such as title, notes, status, due date, completion, or position as the trigger.
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 this specific task changes, send me a WhatsApp button prompt with up to three useful next-step choices based on the available task details.
- 4Pick the Google Tasks Task Details Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task detail change. Interactive messages are deliverable only when the recipient has texted your number first.
