Start an approved eBay collection from WhatsApp
Say the word in WhatsApp and launch the right queued collection.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Start Collection
Tool to start processing a collection's queued requests. Use after creating or pausing a collection to initiate its queued requests.
Why this helps
Approved research jobs sit idle because starting them requires another dashboard and another decision.
- Launch approved work without dashboard hopping
- Use explicit chat approval as the control point
- Receive a confirmation report after launch
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Timelinesai and Countdown api once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Start approved eBay collection.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the collection ID or exact collection reference in an approval message and start it only when approval is explicit.
- 4Pick the Timelinesai New WhatsApp Message Received trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real approval message.
Questions about this workflow
Will every message start a collection?
No. Notis should require clear approval language and a resolvable collection reference.
What happens if the collection is already running?
Notis reports the current state instead of attempting an unnecessary start.
