Add Affinity context to WhatsApp template review updates
Keep template approval or rejection updates alongside the Affinity saved view context your team uses for outreach planning.
Trigger
Message Template Status Update
Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.
Action
Get metadata on a single saved view
Returns metadata on a single saved view.
Why this helps
A template review changes, but its status update is easy to miss when it lands apart from your outreach planning context.
- Report when a WhatsApp template review status changes.
- Include metadata from a saved view in the same run report.
- Reduce the chance of overlooking an approval or rejection update.
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 what outcome you want in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to summarize a template review status change with metadata for a relevant Affinity saved view; pick Message Template Status Update.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real template status update.

Can this approve or change a WhatsApp template?

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
