Create Database Cluster
Tool to create a new managed database cluster. use when you need to provision a database cluster with name, engine, version, region, size, and number of nodes.
Why this helps
Database setup can wait after approval while someone locates the original request and re-enters its specifications.
- Connect an affirmative reply to a pending database request.
- Require all cluster specifications before creating it.
- Reduce the gap between approval and provisioning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a cluster only for an affirmative interactive reply linked to a pending request with engine, version, region, size, and node count; ask for missing details.
- 4Pick Interactive Reply Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approval reply tied to a complete database request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow approve a request automatically?
No. The trigger is an interactive reply from the customer. The workflow should proceed only when that reply clearly indicates approval.
What if the request details are not available with the reply?
Have Notis ask for the missing details or report that the pending request context is unavailable.

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
