Run a saved Contentful support query from WhatsApp
Reuse a Contentful query to bring relevant support content into the WhatsApp message workflow.
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
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
Why this helps
Repeatedly recreating the same content lookup adds friction to routine support triage.
- Reuses a persisted query for a recurring lookup.
- Keeps the incoming message available as query context.
- Reports the result for a person to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the support lookup.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to run your persisted query with variables derived from the incoming message and report matching entries.
- 4Pick the New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real support message and a valid persisted query hash.

GraphQL Content API Persisted Query

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
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
