Get Head-to-Head Fixtures
Tool to get head-to-head fixtures between two teams. use after determining team ids to compare their direct match history.
Why this helps
After collecting a team choice in WhatsApp, someone still has to search for the clubs' direct match history.
- Use a customer's interactive reply as a clear workflow trigger.
- Retrieve direct fixtures between two identified teams.
- Keep rivalry history close to the choice that prompted the lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Api sports once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: use the selected rivalry in an interactive reply to identify both teams and retrieve their head-to-head fixtures.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp Interactive Reply Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reply tied to a message that identifies two teams.
Questions about this workflow
Does the reply event provide both team IDs?
The trigger is an interactive reply. The automation needs enough conversation or reply context to identify both teams; if it is missing, the report should ask for the missing team details.
Does this compare overall team statistics?
No. It retrieves head-to-head fixtures. Detailed team statistics require a separate lookup with the league, season, and team context.

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
