Keep new WhatsApp requirements on the task checklist
When a new WhatsApp message clarifies work already tracked in ClickUp, ask Notis to add the concrete requirement as a checklist item.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
Action
Create checklist item
Creates a new checklist item within a specified, existing checklist, optionally setting the item's name and assigning it to a user.
Why this helps
Small clarifications can get lost after a task has already been created and handed off.
- Keep new requirements attached to existing work.
- Reduce missed details during handoffs.
- Make clarified work visible in the task checklist.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and ClickUp once in the portal.
- 2Create a named automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to add a checklist item to the relevant existing task only when an incoming message clearly changes its requirements.
- 4Choose New Message Received and select a report destination.
- 5Test with a real clarification tied to a task with an existing checklist.
Questions about this workflow
What if the task or checklist cannot be found?
Ask Notis to report the missing match and avoid adding an item to an unrelated task.
Does the checklist need to exist already?
This action adds an item to an existing checklist. Create the checklist separately if the task does not have one.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Clickup. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Clickup actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add dependency
Adds a 'waiting on' or 'blocking' dependency to a task, requiring either `depends on` (task becomes waiting on) or `dependency of` (task becomes blocking), but not both; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add guest to folder
Adds a guest to a folder with specified permissions; requires a clickup enterprise plan.
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

Shares a clickup list with an existing guest user, granting them specified permissions; requires the workspace to be on the clickup enterprise plan.
New Message Received
