Check Countdown API usage with a WhatsApp message
When you need a quick account status check, message your WhatsApp Business number and let Notis retrieve Countdown API account information.
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
Get Account Information
Tool to retrieve account usage and current platform status. Use when needing to check plan, usage, and quota details for the authenticated user.
Why this helps
Checking research quota means switching tools and can slow down a decision about the next run.
- Check plan and usage from a familiar messaging channel.
- Get current platform status and quota details in a run report.
- Make account checks part of the same flow as research requests.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Countdown API once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for account checks.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve account information when an inbound message asks for a usage or quota check and summarize the returned details.
- 4Pick the New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real WhatsApp message asking for the current account usage.

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
