Update a Contentful space name from WhatsApp

Send a clear rename request with the space ID, new name, and current version number to update the space name.

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

Update space

Updates the name of a specific space. notes: - the version number is required to ensure you're updating the latest version of the space. - you can get the current version from the sys.version field when fetching space details. - only the name of the space can be updated.

Why this helps

Small naming updates can get lost when they require switching tools and locating the right space details.

  • Make a space name change from a WhatsApp request.
  • Keep the requested change and outcome in the run report.
  • Use the required space ID and version number in the instruction.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Contentful once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add its name and prompt.
  • 3Describe in one instruction how Notis should apply a requested name using the supplied space ID and current version.
  • 4Pick the WhatsApp New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real rename request that includes a space ID, new name, and current version number.

Questions about this workflow

What details must my request include?

Include the space ID, the new name, and the current version number. Contentful requires the version to update a space.

Can this change other Contentful space settings?

No. This Contentful action updates the space name only.

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
