Bring WhatsApp blockers into team triage
A blocker mentioned in a chat deserves a shared view. Post a short Slack brief so the team can decide what needs attention next.
Trigger
New WhatsApp Message Received
Polling trigger that monitors for new messages received in TimelinesAI WhatsApp chats.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Project risks can remain invisible when they are shared only in direct conversations.
- Give blockers a clear place for team discussion.
- Make the key risk easier to understand at a glance.
- Reduce repeated context gathering before triage.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TimelinesAI and Slack to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to post new WhatsApp messages that identify a project risk or blocker to your chosen Slack triage channel with a concise summary.
- 4Choose the TimelinesAI new WhatsApp message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real blocker and check that the post states the risk clearly.
Questions about this workflow
Can the post include a suggested next step?
Ask Notis to include an obvious next step when the message makes one clear.
How do I avoid posting routine updates?
Tell Notis to share only messages that indicate a risk or a blocker requiring team attention.
