Get Brex expenses for the dates you ask about

Ask for expenses from a time period in WhatsApp and bring the matching Brex records into the response.

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 Expenses

Get expenses for a date range.

Why this helps

Date-based expense checks get delayed when the request and the expense system live in different places.

  • Retrieve Brex expenses for dates stated in the message.
  • Reduce manual date-range searches.
  • Make expense review requests easier to handle promptly.

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 add a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to read the requested dates and retrieve Brex expenses for that period.
  • 4Pick New Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real message containing a clear date range.

Questions about this workflow

What date information should I send?

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
