Why this helps
Useful inquiries can disappear in a busy WhatsApp inbox before anyone records them or follows up.
- Record each new inbound inquiry in Bubble
- Summarize the customer's request for quicker review
- Keep WhatsApp follow-up work visible alongside your app data
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 to summarize each new WhatsApp inquiry and create a lead in your existing Bubble data type using the details available in the message.
- 4Choose the WhatsApp New Message Received trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real inbound message and confirm the record uses fields available in your Bubble data type.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Bubble record for every inbound message?
It can create a record for each event. In your instruction, specify which messages count as inquiries and how Notis should handle messages that lack useful lead details.
Does this require a particular Bubble CRM schema?
No schema is assumed. The instruction must refer to a data type and fields that already exist in your Bubble app.

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
