Keep WhatsApp decisions out of the chat scroll
When a new message settles a decision or creates a commitment, Notis can write a concise record to Google Drive so you can find it later.

Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Create a File from Text

Why this helps
Important decisions get buried in busy WhatsApp threads, leaving founders to search or reconstruct what was agreed.
- Keep decisions and commitments in a searchable place.
- Reduce repeated searching through chat history.
- Preserve useful context for teammates who were not in the conversation.

- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to save incoming decisions and commitments as dated Drive notes, including the message context.
- 4Pick the TimelinesAI New WhatsApp Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message that contains a decision.
