Make WhatsApp template status changes easier to act on
When a template is approved, rejected, or flagged, get a focused analysis of the status event so you can decide what to do next.
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
Execute Code
Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.

Questions about this workflow
Which status changes can start this workflow?
The trigger fires when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes, such as approval, rejection, or a flag.
Can it explain why a template was rejected?
Only if the event includes a reason or the reason is supplied separately. The automation should call out when the reason is unavailable.

Create Sandbox

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
Get File
