Prepare product context when WhatsApp message status changes

Keep a status-related follow-up moving by getting product facts from a relevant URL you provide.

Trigger

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

Why this helps

A status change can lead to a product question that takes time to research, adding context switching to an already busy day.

  • Extract product specs, price, availability, and reviews from a supplied page.
  • Prepare a product brief for status-related customer follow-up.
  • Reduce manual browsing when a delivery status prompts a question.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Diffbot once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to extract product details from a relevant URL supplied with a message status change and summarize them for follow-up.
  • 4Pick Message Status Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real message status webhook and an accessible product URL.

Questions about this workflow

Can the status trigger poll for message updates?

No. The WhatsApp status event is delivered by real-time webhook, since Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for status updates.

Does the event provide product information?

No product data is implied by the status event. Include a product URL in the available context to extract its details.
