Look up guidance for WhatsApp template status changes
Bring your documented review guidance into view when a template status changes.
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
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.
Why this helps
Template approval or rejection updates can leave a small team unsure where its review notes live.
- Surfaces guidance relevant to a template status update.
- Helps keep review notes accessible in the moment.
- Reports when no matching guidance is available.
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, for template review updates.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to query your Contentful review guidance using the template status event and report relevant entries.
- 4Pick the Message Template Status Update trigger and select a run report destination.
- 5Test with one real template status update and confirm the relevant guidance appears.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change a template or submit it for review?
No. This workflow reads Contentful content and reports matching guidance.
What if the status has no guidance entry?
Instruct Notis to report no matching guidance so the missing documentation is clear.

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
