Assign Discord roles from WhatsApp requests
Keep access requests moving without manual role administration.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Assign role to guild member
Assigns a role to a guild member, provided the bot has 'manage roles' permission in the guild and the role to be assigned is hierarchically lower than the bot's highest role.
Why this helps
Role changes wait in chat because nobody wants to interrupt their current work.
- Speed up approved access
- Reduce admin interruptions
- Apply a consistent process
Setup

- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Discordbot once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named WhatsApp role request.
- 3Tell Notis to verify the request details, then assign the named role to the specified existing member.
- 4Pick New WhatsApp Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one approved request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this add someone to the server first?
This action assigns a role to an existing member. Use a separate member-join workflow when needed.
