Turn a quick service organization message into a clean Better Stack heartbeat structure.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Create Heartbeat Group
Tool to create a new heartbeat group. use when you need to organize related heartbeat checks under a single, logical group. example prompt: "create a new heartbeat group named 'backend services'."
Why this helps
New services are discussed in chat but uptime checks remain scattered and hard to find.
- Creates consistent heartbeat organization
- Cuts setup follow-up
- Makes new service ownership easier to find
Setup

- 4Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Send one group request to test the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
What if the message has no group name?
Notis should report the missing name and ask for clarification instead of creating a vague group.
Does this create heartbeat checks too?
No. This workflow creates the group only; heartbeat creation is not an available action here.
