Get Affinity context for WhatsApp investor messages

See the Affinity person record alongside an inbound investor message, so you can respond with the right context and fewer searches.

Trigger

New Message Received

Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.

Action

Get all persons

The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.

Why this helps

An investor reaches out while you are juggling other work, and finding their Affinity history takes you out of the conversation.

  • Surface available Affinity person details when a new WhatsApp message arrives.
  • Reduce manual searching before you decide how to follow up.
  • Send the summary to a report channel you already check.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Affinity once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis to look up the inbound sender in Affinity and summarize the available person details; pick New Message Received as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one real WhatsApp message.

Questions about this workflow

Does this send a reply on WhatsApp?

No. The available Affinity actions retrieve information, and this workflow sends its run report to the channel you choose. It does not send a WhatsApp reply.

What if Affinity has no matching person?

Notis can report that it found no matching record. It cannot supply person history that Affinity does not return.

Message Status Updated

Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
