Turn a WhatsApp approval into a test run
A tap on a WhatsApp reply can be the signal to run a Bugbug test, keeping approval and follow-through connected.
Trigger
Interactive Reply Received
Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.
Action
Run test
Execute a test in bugbug and return the test run details. this action allows you to run a specific test with optional configuration for browser, device, viewport, and variable overrides. it returns detailed information about the test run including step-by-step execution status.
Why this helps
An approval in a chat is easy to miss when the next step means opening a separate testing tool.
- Act on an explicit interactive reply.
- Move from approval to test execution with less manual follow-up.
- Keep the resulting run report in your chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Bugbug once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the approval workflow.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which interactive reply means proceed and which Bugbug test to run.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp Interactive Reply Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real interactive reply and check the Bugbug run details.
Questions about this workflow
Can I define what counts as approval?
Yes. Describe the relevant reply and intended test in the instruction. The trigger fires on an interactive reply.
What if the reply does not identify the test?
Name the intended test or a way for Notis to determine it in your instruction. Otherwise, the workflow should seek clarification.

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
