Add prospect context when WhatsApp message status changes

When WhatsApp reports a message status change through its webhook, Notis can use the event as a cue to request relevant prospect insights.

Trigger

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

Action

Generate Insights

Tool to generate ranked prospect or company insights. Use after resolving identifiers to retrieve the most relevant insights.

Why this helps

Status changes can pass unnoticed, leaving you without context for deciding whether a prospect needs attention.

  • Use status updates as a cue for timely research
  • Surface ranked context for identifiable prospects
  • Reduce manual switching between messaging and prospect research

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Autobound once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: when a relevant status event arrives, resolve prospect identifiers and request ranked insights.
  • 4Pick the WhatsApp Message Status Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and review the insights.

Questions about this workflow

How does WhatsApp deliver message status changes?
