Action

Why this helps
Without category details at hand, a founder may need to switch tools and reconstruct where an update belongs.
- Load category metadata for a relevant support topic.
- Keep product update grouping context near the customer message.
- Reduce manual navigation between support and changelog tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Beamer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to identify and retrieve the relevant Beamer category using available context or a supplied category ID.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real message and a known category ID, then review the category details.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer a category ID if the message does not provide one?
The Beamer action retrieves a specific category by ID. If the ID is not available in the message or another supplied source, provide it in your instruction or supporting context.
Does retrieving a category publish anything?

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
