Turn WhatsApp delivery follow-up into a visible task step
When a message status change calls for team action, ask Notis to add a relevant checklist item to the existing ClickUp task.
Trigger
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
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
Teams can notice a delivery issue but still miss the concrete follow-up step on the task.
- Make delivery follow-up a visible task step.
- Keep the action attached to the related work.
- Reduce the chance that an issue is noticed but not acted on.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and ClickUp once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe in one instruction which status updates need follow-up and what checklist item to add to the related task.
- 4Select Message Status Updated and choose a report destination.
- 5Test with a real status event and a task that has an existing checklist.
