Check content categories after a WhatsApp template decision
A template decision is a useful moment to check whether your Dotsimple tags cover the content category it was meant to support.
Trigger
Message Template Status Update
Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.
Action
List Tags
Tool to list all tags available in the workspace. use when you need to retrieve tag metadata for planning or display.
Why this helps
A template's review status can change while the content categories used for social planning remain out of sight.
- Keep a record of the template status with a tag inventory review.
- Identify possible category matches using the template purpose when provided.
- Leave tag changes to a person with the right context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Dotsimple once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for template category review.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the template status, retrieve Dotsimple tags, and report possible topic matches only when template details support them.
- 4Pick the WhatsApp Message Template Status Update trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real template status update.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the tag list?
No. The selected Dotsimple action retrieves tag metadata. It does not create, delete, or apply tags.
What if the template update does not include its purpose?
The report can still include the status update and tag inventory, but should say there is not enough information to match the template to a category.

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
