Action
Create Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset in Databox data source. Use when you need to initialize a dataset with a title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
Why this helps
Dataset setup can be delayed when its title, source, and record identifiers need to be gathered again.
- Start dataset creation from a structured request.
- Keep the dataset purpose and required setup details together.
- Prepare a dataset for later record ingestion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Databox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation and describe when a dataset should be initialized.
- 3Tell Notis to use the supplied title, data source ID, and primary keys for unique record identification.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request containing the required dataset details.

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
