Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
Action
Get Transaction by ID
Get details of a specific transaction by id.
Why this helps
Tracking down a specific transaction is slow when its ID arrives in a separate conversation.
- Look up a specific Brex transaction by its supplied ID.
- Keep transaction questions connected to their incoming request.
- Avoid manually searching across transaction lists.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Brex once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to extract a transaction ID from each message and retrieve that Brex transaction.
- 4Pick New Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message containing a transaction ID.
Questions about this workflow
What must the message contain?
It needs the Brex transaction ID for the record to look up.
Can it search by vendor if the ID is missing?
This workflow uses the transaction ID lookup. Use a description or amount search workflow when the ID is unavailable.

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
