Questions about this workflow
Will every WhatsApp message create a policy?
No. Instruct Notis to act only when the message contains explicit policy details and otherwise report that information is missing.
Can Notis infer missing escalation steps?
No. Missing recipients, timing, or escalation order should be requested from the sender.
