Action
Get Word Definition
Tool to get the definition of a word. use when you need to find the meaning of a specific word. e.g., "define the word apple."
Why this helps
Pausing to search for a word can break focus and leave the original question buried in a chat.
- Extract the specific word named in a message.
- Return a definition from the Apiverve action.
- Keep the result connected to the request in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Apiverve once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3Tell Notis to use Apiverve to define a clearly identified word in an inbound message and report the result; flag messages with no clear target word.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real message asking for a specific word's meaning.

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
