Track repeated WhatsApp requests
Turn recurring asks into visible work your team can investigate.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Repeated requests can signal a problem, but each one may seem isolated in a separate chat.
- Make recurring requests easier to investigate
- Keep an example message with the follow-up
- Focus attention on patterns across conversations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for repeated request follow-up.
- 3Tell Notis to create an Asana task when an incoming WhatsApp message indicates a recurring request or problem, and include the pattern it identifies from available context.
- 4Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with a real message that explicitly refers to a repeated issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can one new message prove a request is recurring?
Not by itself unless the message says the issue has happened before. If broader history is needed, provide that history or criteria to Notis.
Will this combine matching tasks automatically?
The workflow creates a follow-up task when a recurring issue is identified; instruct Notis how to handle duplicates if you want that behavior.
