Stay on Top of Templates—Auto-Create Task on Rejection

WhatsApp template rejected? Notis instantly creates a task in Salesforce so you can fix and resubmit without forgetting.

Trigger

Message Template Status Update

Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.

Action

Create task

Creates a new task in salesforce to track activities, to-dos, and follow-ups related to contacts, leads, or other records.

Why this helps

Rejected WhatsApp templates are forgotten because they don't trigger any Salesforce action, delaying customer outreach campaigns.

  • Template rejections never get lost—every rejection creates a task.
  • Faster time-to-resubmit because it's a trackable action item.
  • Compliance is visible in Salesforce alongside sales activities.
  • Reduces campaign delays due to forgotten template issues.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Salesforce to Notis via the portal (one-time setup).
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a WhatsApp template is rejected, create a task in Salesforce to review and fix it' or build in Automations.
  • 3Notis will create a task with the template name and rejection reason in the task description.
  • 4Select the 'Message Template Status Update' trigger and choose your notification channel.
  • 5Test by rejecting a template in WhatsApp (or using sandbox) and verifying the task appears in Salesforce.

Questions about this workflow

Can the task include the rejection reason from WhatsApp?

Yes. Notis captures the rejection reason from WhatsApp and includes it in the task description so you know what to fix.

Can I set a due date based on the rejection type?

Yes. You can configure different due dates for policy violations (urgent) vs. formatting issues (normal priority).

Can I assign the task to a specific team member?

Yes. You can assign it to the person who owns template management, or to the campaign owner.

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
