Turn a WhatsApp solar question into a Corrently forecast
A solar availability question with a location can start a forecast request in Corrently.
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
PV Generation Forecast
Tool to get solar energy production forecasts (hourly output and loss estimates) for a specific location. use when you need hourly pv generation data to optimize energy scheduling.
Why this helps
Energy questions in chat can lose momentum when someone has to leave the conversation and run a forecast manually.
- Make a solar forecast request from an existing conversation.
- Use the stated location to ground the forecast.
- Reduce context switching for recurring energy questions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Corrently once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to request Corrently's hourly PV generation forecast when an inbound message asks about solar availability and includes a specific location.
- 4Pick the New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real solar question that includes a location.
Questions about this workflow
What if the message does not name a location?
The Corrently action requires a specific location. Provide the missing location in the conversation or your instruction before expecting a useful forecast.
Will it respond with the forecast in WhatsApp?
This automation requests the forecast in Corrently. WhatsApp sending is not one of the listed target actions for this package.

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
