Why this helps
A deployment confirmation in chat can leave you bouncing between the conversation and Buildkite to check whether agents are connected.
- Use an interactive reply as a cue to gather a current agent list.
- Put the Buildkite check beside the automation's run report.
- Make a readiness review easier to pick back up after a context switch.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Buildkite once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter its name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to treat an interactive reply as a deployment review cue and list connected Buildkite agents for the organization slug you provide.
- 4Pick Interactive Reply Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real interactive reply and a valid Buildkite organization slug.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as an interactive reply?
A customer tapping a quick-reply button or selecting an option from an interactive list message you sent.
Does the agent list approve or block a deployment?
No. The action lists connected agents. It does not trigger builds, inspect pipeline status, or decide deployment readiness.
Can I choose a particular quick-reply option as a trigger filter?
The listed setup does not provide trigger filters. Describe how Notis should interpret the reply in the automation prompt.

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
