Create a branch when work is approved in WhatsApp
A clear approval in chat can become a ready-to-use branch without opening another tool.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Create a branch
Creates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.
Why this helps
Approved work waits because someone still has to create the branch manually.
- Start approved work faster
- Use consistent branch naming
- Remove a small but frequent context switch
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Bitbucket in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that extracts the target commit hash and branch name from an approval message.
- 3Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one approval message.
Questions about this workflow
What must the message include?
It should identify the repository, target commit hash, and a unique branch name or enough context for Notis to derive one.
Can Notis prevent duplicate names?
Ask Notis to check the naming instruction and report any conflict instead of creating an invalid branch.
