Act on WhatsApp message status changes
Let message status changes kick off a Bubble process for your next review or follow-up step.
Trigger
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
Action
Trigger Bubble Workflow via POST
Triggers a Bubble API workflow by name using a POST request. Use this tool to execute backend workflows in your Bubble application. The workflow must be configured in your Bubble app's API Workflows section with "Expose as public API workflow" enabled. Pass any required parameters as a JSON object in the parameters field.
Why this helps
Sent messages can need attention when their status changes, but checking each outcome manually takes time.
- React to status changes delivered in real time
- Start an existing Bubble backend process with available status details
- Reduce manual checking of message outcomes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Bubble once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and report channel.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which status changes should start your existing Bubble API workflow and what available event details to pass.
- 4Choose the WhatsApp Message Status Updated trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real status update and confirm the Bubble workflow is exposed as a public API workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Can this trigger poll WhatsApp for message status?
No. WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. This trigger receives real-time webhook updates only.
Can it follow up on a status event without a Bubble workflow?
This package uses Bubble's API workflow action. Create and expose the backend workflow in Bubble before using the automation.
