Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know my definition of urgent?
Include your urgency criteria in the instruction. If the message does not provide enough context, ask Notis to flag the uncertainty in the record summary.
Does the workflow send a reply to the customer?
No. This workflow creates a Bubble record. It does not send a WhatsApp reply.

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
