Turn WhatsApp replies into Clientary task updates
When a customer replies through a WhatsApp button or list, Notis can apply the clear next step to the related task in Clientary.
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
Update Task
Tool to update an existing task in Clientary with partial or complete field modifications. Use when you need to modify task details such as title, description, completion status, assignee, or due date. All fields except ID are optional.
Why this helps
A customer confirms a choice in chat, but the related task still needs a separate manual update.
- Keep task details aligned with customer decisions
- Reduce follow-up data entry
- Use interactive replies to trigger a defined next step
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Clientary once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, define which interactive reply updates which identifiable task and what change Notis should make.
- 4Choose the Interactive Reply Received trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reply and confirm the intended task update in Clientary.
Questions about this workflow
Can a reply update a task if Notis cannot identify it?
The task must be identifiable from the reply or available context. Tell Notis to request clarification or report the ambiguity if it cannot determine the task.
Can this mark a task complete?
You can instruct Notis to mark a clearly identified task complete when the interactive reply represents completion or approval.

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
