Never Miss a Deadline: Auto-Extract From WhatsApp Messages
A client messages 'We need this by Friday.' Notis creates a calendar event for Friday with a reminder 24 hours before, so you don't miss the deadline.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Deadlines are frequently mentioned in casual messages and slip through the cracks. Neurodivergent founders' working memory can't reliably capture every deadline, leading to missed deliverables and damaged client relationships.
- Captures all deadline mentions automatically
- Creates reminders so deadlines never surprise you
- Centralizes deadlines in your calendar
- Reduces stress about tracking deliverables
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp Business Account and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Deadline Extraction', Trigger set to 'New Message Received'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a message includes a deadline phrase (by Friday, due Monday, deadline of next week, need by [date]), create a Google Calendar event for that date. Title it with the project name if mentioned, and add a reminder 1 day before the deadline.'
- 4Set the reporting channel for deadline capture notifications.
- 5Test by sending a message like 'We need the design by next Thursday' and confirm the event appears on Thursday.
Questions about this workflow
What if the date is vague (e.g., 'this week')?
Notis will assign it to Friday of that week by default, or you can configure it to ask for clarification.
Can it prioritize urgent deadlines?
Yes, if a message says 'URGENT deadline' or 'ASAP', you can tell Notis to flag that event as high-priority or send an immediate reminder.
Does it handle recurring deadlines?
You can teach Notis patterns, e.g., 'every Friday we have a client standup' if deadlines repeat.

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