Start with the message that came in. Notis retrieves your current Apilio string variables so you can review relevant text context alongside the request.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
Action
Get String Variables
Tool to fetch all string variables. use after authenticating the apilio api.
Why this helps
A request can arrive in WhatsApp while useful operating details are stored elsewhere, leaving you to switch apps and look them up manually.
- Retrieve current Apilio string variables when a new WhatsApp message arrives.
- Review the returned values alongside the incoming request in the run report.
- Reduce app switching when checking text-based operating context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Apilio once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language to create one.
- 3Describe that Notis should retrieve Apilio string variables and present the relevant current values for inbound message review.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real inbound message and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automation reply to the WhatsApp sender?
No. The available Apilio action retrieves string variables. It does not send WhatsApp messages.
Can it retrieve one specific string variable?
The listed action retrieves all string variables. Notis can analyze the returned data, but this action does not provide a variable-specific lookup.

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
