Capture WhatsApp Follow-up Time in Dart
When a WhatsApp update includes a completed work session and its start and finish times, record that time on the related Dart task.
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
Add Task Time Tracking
Tool to add a time tracking entry to a DART task. Use when you need to record time spent on a specific task. The finishedAt timestamp must be after startedAt.
Why this helps
Time spent handling customer requests can be forgotten when the work happens in WhatsApp but time tracking lives in Dart.
- Capture customer work time while context is fresh
- Keep time records attached to the relevant task
- Avoid guessing start and finish times later
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Dart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, in the portal or from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, specify how to find the Dart task and require explicit start and finish timestamps from the message.
- 4Pick WhatsApp New Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real message containing valid session timestamps and its related task.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer time spent from a message?
The workflow should only log time when the message or supplied context includes reliable start and finish timestamps. The finishedAt timestamp must be after startedAt.
What happens if the message omits timing details?
Specify in your instruction that Notis should skip the time entry and report that the timing details are missing.

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
