Turn an incoming webhook into a WhatsApp alert
Get an important external event into WhatsApp without checking another dashboard.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Time-sensitive updates can be missed when they live in a system you are not watching.
- Bring external alerts into a familiar channel
- Cut repeated dashboard checks
- Include relevant details from the incoming request
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and tell Notis to send a concise WhatsApp alert using relevant details from the incoming request.
- 3Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Configure the external system to send its request to the webhook provided for the automation.
- 5Test with one real request; a regular WhatsApp message is delivered only if the recipient has texted your number first.
