Verify WhatsApp templates are ready when issues reference them

New Jira issue says 'Use template XYZ for announcement'? Notis checks if that template is approved in WhatsApp and alerts you if it's still pending review.

Trigger

New Issue

Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.

Action

Get template status

Get the status and details of a specific message template. this is useful for checking if a template has been approved, rejected, or is still pending review.

Why this helps

Template-based messaging fails when the template isn't approved yet. Issues reference templates that are still pending review, causing delivery delays.

  • No assumptions about template readiness; status is checked automatically
  • Issues don't move forward if templates aren't approved
  • Prevents bottlenecks caused by pending template reviews
  • Keeps template compliance in sync with issue workflow

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and WhatsApp to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: "When a new Jira issue references using a WhatsApp template, check if that template is approved."
  • 3Notis will scan issue description/comments for template references and query WhatsApp approval status.
  • 4Specify what to do if a template is not approved (alert PM, block issue, request approval).
  • 5Test by creating an issue that references a template and confirming the status check runs.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which templates are referenced?

Look for template names or IDs in the issue title, description, or comments. You can customize the naming convention.

What if a template is pending review?

Notis can alert the PM, add a label to the issue, or block progression until approval is confirmed.

Can this check reusable templates across multiple issues?

Yes. Notis tracks all issues referencing a template and can bulk-update them if the template status changes.
