Start Codemagic builds from WhatsApp
Ask for a build in the chat you already use. Notis reads the request and starts the Codemagic build.
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
Start New Build
Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.
Why this helps
Build requests get buried in chats, then someone has to stop what they are doing to open Codemagic and start one.
- Start a requested build without switching apps.
- Keep the requested app, workflow, and branch in one message.
- Get a run report in your chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Codemagic once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to start the Codemagic build described in each incoming WhatsApp message, using the specified app, workflow, and branch or tag.
- 4Pick New Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real build request that includes the required build details.
Questions about this workflow
What should the WhatsApp message include?
Include enough information for Codemagic to identify the application and workflow, plus a branch or tag. Codemagic requires a branch or tag to start a build.
Does Notis start a build for every message?
Describe that it should act only on clear build requests. You can test the instruction with a real example and review the run report.

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
