Why this helps

Sharing links can be delayed when the request is buried in a chat thread or requires a manual app switch.

  • Respond promptly to clear sharing choices
  • Reduce manual link creation
  • Keep sharing tied to the right file

Setup

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Box once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis which interactive reply authorizes sharing and how to identify the Box file.
  • 4Pick the WhatsApp Interactive Reply Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real selection for a file you are authorized to share.

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
