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
Transcribe Pre-recorded Audio
Tool to transcribe pre-recorded audio files into text. use when you need to convert an audio file at a url to text after confirming the file url is publicly accessible.
Why this helps
Important customer details get buried in voice notes that are hard to scan, revisit, or search.
- Read customer messages when listening is inconvenient.
- Search and review the transcript without replaying the audio.
- Keep voice note details available for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Deepgram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to transcribe incoming WhatsApp audio when the message contains a publicly accessible audio URL.
- 4Pick New Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real WhatsApp message containing a publicly accessible audio URL.
Questions about this workflow
Will this work with every WhatsApp voice note?
The audio file must be publicly accessible to Deepgram. WhatsApp media links that require authentication may not work; provide a publicly accessible audio URL in the incoming message.
Does this trigger on incoming messages?
Yes. It uses WhatsApp's New Message Received event.

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
