Why this helps
Turning a rough product idea into a useful eBay search can interrupt research and make it easy to lose the original thought.
- Capture product ideas in the chat you already use.
- Get eBay autocomplete suggestions without opening a separate search tool.
- Keep each search request tied to an inbound WhatsApp message.

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 give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use the inbound message text as an eBay autocomplete query and include the suggestions in the run report.
- 4Pick the New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real product phrase sent to your WhatsApp Business number.

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
