Why this helps
Combining documents by hand interrupts your work and makes it easy to leave out an attachment.
- Combine several PDF attachments into one file.
- Keep related documents together for review or sharing.
- Start the task from the WhatsApp message that contains the files.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Api2pdf once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a name and a prompt describing how to merge PDFs attached to an incoming message.
- 3Pick the New Message Received trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real WhatsApp message containing PDFs.
Questions about this workflow
What should I include in the WhatsApp message?
Attach the PDFs you want combined and make clear that they should be merged. The prompt can tell Notis how to order them, such as the order in which they appear.
Does this work with a message that has only one PDF?
The merge action is intended for multiple documents. Use a message with the PDFs you want combined.

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
