- 4Choose the New Message Received trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real text message and confirm the audio is usable.
Questions about this workflow
Does this read every kind of WhatsApp message?
The trigger can include text, media, location, or contact messages. This workflow is for incoming text; it cannot turn non-text content into a transcript unless that text is supplied.
Where does the generated audio go?
ElevenLabs returns a downloadable audio file. Tell Notis in the automation instruction where you want the result or report surfaced.
