Provision DigitalOcean databases from WhatsApp specs
Keep database setup details attached to the request, so you do not have to reconstruct them later.
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
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 provisioning details arrive across chat threads and are easy to lose before setup is complete.
- Turn a complete request into a managed database cluster.
- Catch missing engine, version, region, size, or node count before provisioning.
- Reduce context switching between chat and cloud setup.
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 database cluster only for explicit requests with engine, version, region, size, and node count, and ask for missing details.
- 4Pick New Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes the full database specification.
Questions about this workflow
What if a requested engine or size is unavailable?
Notis can report that the requested option needs review. Use the DigitalOcean database options action separately if you want the workflow to check available options.
Does the workflow infer the database version?
No. The prompt should require the version or ask the requester to provide it.

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
