Create a Control D profile from a WhatsApp request
Capture an authorized profile creation request in WhatsApp and let Notis provision the requested profile.
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
Create Profile
Tool to create a new blank profile or clone an existing one. Use when you need to provision a profile before assigning rules or devices.
Why this helps
Profile setup requests can sit in chat while someone waits for an admin to act on them.
- Turn a clear request into a profile creation action.
- Keep setup requests close to their original conversation.
- Receive a report of the provisioning run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Control D once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a profile only for an authorized request with explicit profile details.
- 4Select WhatsApp New Message Received and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request for a blank profile.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation clone an existing profile?
Only if the request identifies the existing profile to clone and your instruction explicitly allows it.
What if the requested profile details are incomplete?
Tell Notis to report the missing information without creating a profile.

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
