Make WhatsApp delivery changes easier to follow up

Document status changes as they arrive so a delivery update can be reviewed when you have time to act.

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

Action

Create Document

Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.

Why this helps

A delivery status can call for attention, but it is easy to miss while handling other founder work.

  • Capture status changes in a reviewable document.
  • Make follow-up easier to spot from available event details.
  • Reduce repeated manual checking of status events.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and DocRaptor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create the automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a document when a status update indicates a delivery exception, using the available event data.
  • 4Pick the Message Status Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real status update and review the document.

Questions about this workflow

Does the event expose a delivery failure reason?

The event description only says a message status changes. Use any reason only if it is present in the event data.

How does this status trigger work?

It receives real-time webhook updates. WhatsApp Cloud API does not offer native polling for these status changes.
