  • 2Create an automation named WhatsApp verse question search.
  • 3Tell Notis to extract the Bible topic from each new message and search matching verses in Api bible.
  • 4Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real WhatsApp question.

Questions about this workflow

What happens when a message has no Bible topic?

Notis can report that no clear search topic was found instead of running a weak search.
