Pair message status changes with a sandbox lookup
Use a real-time WhatsApp status update to prompt a lookup of the sandbox connected to that message.
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
Get Sandbox
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific sandbox by its ID. Use when you need to check sandbox status, metadata, or configuration details.
Why this helps
A status change can matter to an active task, but linking it to a sandbox often requires manual searching.
- Use status events delivered in real time to prompt a targeted lookup.
- See sandbox details alongside the status update report.
- Keep the follow-up tied to a sandbox ID supplied in context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and E2B once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis: when a WhatsApp message status changes, retrieve details for the E2B sandbox ID associated with the message context and report the status and lookup result; flag missing IDs.
- 4Choose Message Status Updated as the trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real status update whose context includes an existing sandbox ID.
Questions about this workflow
Can this trigger poll WhatsApp for status changes?
No. WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. This trigger receives status updates via real-time webhooks.
Does the status event itself include an E2B sandbox ID?
Not necessarily. The sandbox ID must be available in the message context or supplied separately.
