Why this helps
A useful schedule lookup can get lost when replies and trip details are scattered across a busy inbox.
- Look up schedules based on a specified arrival time.
- Keep the schedule check connected to the customer's interactive reply.
- Avoid manually switching from the message thread to a separate schedule lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Bart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to look up a BART schedule for the arrival time and trip details in an interactive reply.
- 4Pick Interactive Reply Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real interactive reply that includes usable trip details.
Questions about this workflow
What details does the schedule lookup need?
The workflow needs an arrival time and sufficient trip information, including origin and destination. The schedule action does not infer missing details.
Does selecting an interactive reply guarantee a complete trip plan?
No. If the reply does not contain the required trip details, Notis needs those details supplied before it can make a useful schedule lookup.

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
