Why this helps
A WAF list inventory is easy to postpone when it means leaving the conversation to find the right Cloudflare account.
- Launch a WAF list lookup with an interactive response.
- Use the account ID supplied in the reply or available context.
- Keep the lookup results in the run report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Cloudflare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for Cloudflare WAF list lookups.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to list WAF lists only when the account ID is present in the interactive reply or its available context.
- 4Pick the Interactive Reply Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real reply and a valid account ID.
Questions about this workflow
Will this show items inside each WAF list?
No. The available action lists WAF lists and does not retrieve their items.
Can the reply trigger poll WhatsApp?
No. Interactive Reply Received is delivered through the WhatsApp Cloud API webhook.

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
