Batch Create Prospect Records from WhatsApp Confirmations

Send a WhatsApp message to your team: 'Who wants to work on this project?' Team members reply with their role. Notis creates prospect records for all of them instantly.

Trigger

Interactive Reply Received

Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.

Action

Create multiple records

Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.

Why this helps

You gather team feedback via WhatsApp buttons ('Interested?', 'What tier?'), but manually creating Airtable records for each response is tedious. You put it off, and the list sits in WhatsApp for weeks.

  • Instant batch creation: all responses become records at once
  • No manual entry: replies are structured data from the start
  • Team participation: easy for team to confirm interest or role
  • Quick onboarding: prospects are in Airtable within minutes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Airtable to Notis.
  • 2Create a prospects table in Airtable with fields for name, role, tier, and date added.
  • 3Send a WhatsApp message to your team with interactive buttons (e.g., 'Junior', 'Mid', 'Senior', 'Interested').
  • 4Tell Notis: 'When I get replies to this message, create a prospect record in Airtable for each person who replied, using their name and selected tier.'
  • 5Test by having one team member reply.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis identify team members?

By their WhatsApp phone number. Notis matches it to a contact name or uses the number as the default.

What if the same person replies multiple times?

Notis can detect duplicates and create one record, or update the existing one with new information.

Can I link prospect records to existing team member records?

Yes. If the responder exists in your Airtable team table, Notis can link the prospect record to them automatically.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Airtable. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Whatsapp triggers

Airtable actions

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
