Create Asana sections for new WhatsApp campaign phases

A webhook from your WhatsApp campaign system tells Notis that a new phase is live, and Notis creates the corresponding Asana section to organize the incoming work.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create a section in a project

Creates a new section in a project, optionally positioned relative to an existing section in the same project, and returns the full record of the new section.

Why this helps

Campaign work begins before the project board has a clear place for the new phase, so tasks scatter across old sections.

  • Prepares the board as campaign phases change
  • Keeps phase-specific work grouped
  • Avoids manual project housekeeping

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Asana to Notis in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation whose plain-language instruction adds an Asana section for a newly launched WhatsApp campaign phase.
  • 3Pick Incoming Webhook as the trigger and select a report channel.
  • 4Send a test phase-launch webhook from your campaign backend.

Questions about this workflow

What sends the trigger?

Your campaign system or custom backend sends an HTTP request to the Notis webhook when the phase changes.

Does this move tasks into the new section?

No. This workflow creates the section; a separate automation can move relevant tasks if needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Asana. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Whatsapp triggers

Asana actions

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
