Recurring trigger

Download file using Puppeteer script

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Custom Function
A tool that allows executing custom puppeteer scripts via http requests. this endpoint enables users to run browser automation tasks without managing their own infrastructure.
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
