Capture Engaged Customers—Auto-Create Contacts from Button Clicks

Customer clicks a button in your WhatsApp message? Notis instantly creates a contact in Salesforce so you can follow up with their full profile.

Trigger

Interactive Reply Received

Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.

Action

Create contact

Creates a new contact in salesforce with the specified information.

Why this helps

Engaged customers who click buttons on WhatsApp aren't automatically logged as contacts in Salesforce, so you lose track of who's interested.

  • Engaged customers become CRM records instantly—no data entry required.
  • Track which customers are interested through button response patterns.
  • Faster follow-up because contact info is already in Salesforce.
  • Build your contact database based on real engagement signals.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Salesforce to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a customer replies to my interactive WhatsApp message, create a contact in Salesforce' or build in Automations.
  • 3Notis will extract the responder's info and create a contact record automatically.
  • 4Select the 'Interactive Reply Received' trigger and choose your notification channel.
  • 5Test by sending an interactive WhatsApp message and clicking a button to confirm the contact appears in Salesforce.

Questions about this workflow

Can I set a custom field in Salesforce based on which button they clicked?

Yes. You can tell Notis to set a field like 'interest_type' based on the button response, so 'yes' creates a contact with interest=true, 'maybe' creates interest=pending, etc.

What if the same customer clicks multiple buttons?

Notis can check for duplicate contacts and update the existing record instead of creating a new one, or create a new contact if you want to track multiple interactions.

Can I deduplicate by phone number or email?

Yes. Notis matches responders to existing contacts and can merge records or skip creation if a duplicate is found.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Whatsapp triggers

Salesforce 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
