Browser setup interrupts the flow when a quick request turns into a browser task.
- Start a session without switching to a separate setup flow.
- Keep each requested session isolated.
- Receive the session details in your run report.

- 1Connect WhatsApp and Browserbase tool once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and choose a report channel and the New Message Received trigger.
- 3Tell Notis: when I ask for a browser session, create one and report the returned session details.
- 4Test with one real WhatsApp message requesting a session.

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
