Why this helps
An issue escalated by another system can sit unseen while the team is focused elsewhere.
- Put webhook-triggered escalation details in a shared channel.
- Help the team coordinate a response.
- Keep the request context with the notification.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless once in the Notis portal; connect WhatsApp if its information will be included in the request.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for WhatsApp escalations.
- 3Tell Notis to publish the escalation details included in each request to the specified Backendless channel.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger, share its endpoint with the sending system, and set the run report destination.
- 5Test with one real example request containing the escalation details.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request sent to the Notis webhook endpoint starts it; it is not a WhatsApp event trigger.
Can the workflow determine the escalation reason?
It can use details included in the request. Include the reason or the information needed to classify it.

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
