Create Dedicated Client Sheets Automatically

New client inquiry via WhatsApp. Notis creates a new Google Sheet in your drive with their details, project scope, and communication log.

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

Create a Google Sheet

Creates a new google spreadsheet in google drive using the provided title.

Why this helps

Manually creating a separate spreadsheet for each client project instead of automating the setup.

  • Each client gets a dedicated workspace automatically
  • Reduce setup time from 10 minutes to zero
  • Maintain consistent project tracking structure across all clients

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Google Sheets to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new WhatsApp message arrives from someone not in my clients list, create a new Google Sheet named Client: [sender name] and add tabs for project details, timeline, communications, and deliverables.'
  • 3Set the trigger to 'New Message Received.'
  • 4Choose your notification channel.
  • 5Have a new person message you and verify their client sheet is created in Google Drive.

Questions about this workflow

Can I customize the sheet template?

Yes. Describe the tabs and structure you want—e.g., 'create tabs for scope, timeline, budget, and notes'—and Notis creates the sheet with your custom structure.

What if an existing client messages you again?

Notis recognizes repeat clients and doesn't create a duplicate sheet. Instead, it can log the message to their existing sheet automatically.

Where do the sheets go in Google Drive?

Notis creates them in your main Google Drive. You can organize them into a folder or ask Notis to create a 'Clients' folder and organize sheets there.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Whatsapp triggers

Google Sheets 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
