Check Cal availability after a template status change
If a template used for meeting coordination changes status, check Cal availability and see whether current times are still suitable for follow-up.
Trigger
Message Template Status Update
Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.
Action
Check calendar availability
Retrieves free/busy availability for a specified calendar to aid scheduling without revealing event details; requires an existing, accessible calendar, noting that data granularity can vary.
Why this helps
Template changes can interrupt scheduling processes, and checking current availability may otherwise slip behind other work.
- Prompt a fresh availability check when a scheduling template changes.
- Review free-busy data before choosing a follow-up path.
- Keep a template change from derailing scheduling work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what to do from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: when a WhatsApp scheduling template status changes, check the relevant Cal calendar's availability.
- 4Select Message Template Status Update as the trigger and choose a run report destination.
- 5Test with one real template status update and verify the time range is clear.
Questions about this workflow

No. It checks Cal calendar availability; it does not modify WhatsApp templates.
What information does the Cal action return?

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
