Turn WhatsApp opt-ins into started campaign deadlines
When someone taps your WhatsApp reply option and shares their email, start the matching Deadline Funnel timer so you can skip the manual handoff.
Trigger
Interactive Reply Received
Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.
Action
Start Deadline via Custom Webhook
Tool to start an individual subscriber’s deadline tracking via a custom webhook URL. Use after generating a campaign-specific webhook token. Example: StartDeadlineCustomWebhook(account_id='123456', token='abcdef', email='joe@example.com')
Why this helps
Opt-ins arrive in chat, but starting each subscriber's deadline by hand adds follow-up work and delays the campaign.
- Starts an individual timer after a clear interactive reply.
- Reduces manual copying between WhatsApp and Deadline Funnel.
- Keeps consent and the email address together in the conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Deadline Funnel once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to start the specified subscriber's deadline using their email and the campaign's configured account ID and webhook token when an interactive reply confirms opt-in.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp Interactive Reply Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real opt-in reply that includes an email address.
Questions about this workflow
What details must the reply provide?
The automation needs the subscriber's email and an unambiguous opt-in. The campaign account ID and custom webhook token must also be available to the automation.
Does this create a Deadline Funnel campaign?
No. It starts deadline tracking for an individual subscriber using an existing campaign's custom webhook details.

Tool to generate the sales-tracking webhook URL details. Use when you need the campaign-specific sales-tracking webhook parameters before tracking a sale. Use after creating or retrieving your campaign in Deadline Funnel to obtain the token value.
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
