Questions about this workflow
Will the document contain a map?
The event description says location messages can trigger this workflow, but it does not specify map assets or formats. The document can use only location details made available to Notis.
Can this handle text messages too?
The trigger covers incoming messages of several types. The instruction can ask Notis to create a document for location messages, based on available event details.

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
