Turn WhatsApp replies into Appdrag updates
A button tap or list choice can tell your Appdrag workflow what to update, without someone copying the reply by hand.
Trigger
Interactive Reply Received
Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.
Action
Visual SQL Update
Tool to execute a Visual SQL UPDATE via an AppDrag Visual UPDATE function. Use when you need to update database rows based on your Visual UPDATE mapping.
Why this helps
Customer choices arrive in chat, while the records that need updating live somewhere else.
- Act on a customer's selected option
- Keep an existing database record current
- Avoid manually checking interactive chat replies
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Appdrag once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis how to interpret a customer's selected option and call your Appdrag Visual SQL UPDATE function with the information it needs.
- 4Choose the Interactive Reply Received trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real interactive reply and verify the intended Appdrag record was updated.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as an interactive reply?
A customer tapping a quick-reply button or selecting an option from an interactive list message you sent.
Can this update any arbitrary Appdrag record?
The connected Visual SQL UPDATE function must be configured to identify and update the intended record. Notis can interpret the reply, but the function defines the update behavior.

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
