Make WhatsApp handoffs easy to review
A shared message can still get lost in a busy channel. Mark review-worthy handoffs with a reaction the team already recognizes.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Why this helps
Team members may not notice which forwarded messages still need a decision or review.
- Make review requests stand out in the channel.
- Help teammates scan for messages needing a decision.
- Keep the handoff visible without another written reply.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to share new WhatsApp messages that need team review in Slack and add an agreed reaction to the shared message.
- 4Select the TimelinesAI new WhatsApp message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real review request and confirm the reaction appears on the correct Slack message.
Questions about this workflow
