Keep competition details handy when a template status changes

When a WhatsApp template review status changes, Notis can look up the competition details referenced in your workflow and include them in its report.

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 Leagues

Tool to retrieve leagues and cups. use when filtering competitions by id, name, country, code, season, team, type, current, search, or last.

Why this helps

A template review notification can require a separate competition lookup before someone understands the football campaign context.

  • Use a real template status change to start a competition lookup.
  • Find leagues or cups by name, country, season, or search text supplied in the automation context.
  • Include competition details alongside the review event report.

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: when a template review status changes, search Api sports for the league or cup named in the relevant template context and report the matching competition details.
  • 4Pick the WhatsApp Message Template Status Update trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real template status update and a known competition reference.

Questions about this workflow

Does the template status event contain a league name?

The trigger indicates a template review status change. If the event or available context does not identify a competition, provide that reference in the automation instruction or treat the lookup as needing more information.

Does this change the WhatsApp template?

No. The listed Api sports action searches league and cup records; it does not edit WhatsApp templates.

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
