Weekly follow-up reminders
You tell someone 'I'll follow up next week' on WhatsApp and promptly forget. Notis sends you a weekly reminder email so you actually follow up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
You make verbal commitments on WhatsApp but don't write them down. Weeks pass and you've embarrassingly forgotten.
- Never miss a commitment you made on WhatsApp
- Follow up consistently so clients trust you
- Reduce the anxiety of 'did I forget someone?'
- Weekly reset keeps you organized without daily checking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: "Every Friday morning, send me an email listing all WhatsApp follow-ups I mentioned but haven't completed."
- 3Set the trigger to "Notis Cron" and choose the day/time (e.g., Friday at 9am).
- 4Define how Notis finds outstanding follow-ups (keywords like 'follow up', 'next week', 'I'll reach out').
- 5The first Friday after setup, check your inbox for the reminder.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know what counts as a follow-up commitment?
You tell it which keywords to watch for (e.g., 'I'll send', 'check back', 'follow up') and it flags messages with those phrases.
What if I've already completed a follow-up?
You can tell Notis to mark it done, or it learns over time which follow-ups you complete vs. forget.
Can I get reminders more often than weekly?
Yes. You can set up daily, twice-weekly, or any schedule that works for you.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Gmail. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Gmail actions
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
