Webhooks Trigger Interactive Task Selection
Your project management tool sends a webhook, Notis delivers an interactive list of available tasks to your team's WhatsApp. Click one to claim it. Done.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send interactive list
Send an interactive list message to a whatsapp number. list messages allow users to select from up to 10 options in a structured format. great for menus, catalogs, or choices. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders and teams struggle with task selection and ownership clarity across multiple tools. When tasks are scattered in Jira, Airtable, or spreadsheets, team members waste cognitive energy deciding what to work on next instead of just doing the work.
- Task selection is one tap, no context-switching
- Webhooks from any tool can trigger the list
- Structured menu reduces decision fatigue
- Clear ownership prevents duplicate work
- Asynchronous task claiming respects different work rhythms
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Airtable and WhatsApp accounts to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation called 'Task Assignment List' and set the trigger to 'Webhook'.
- 3Write your prompt: 'When a webhook is received, send an interactive WhatsApp list message to the team with the top 5 unassigned tasks. Include task title, priority, and a button to claim each task.'
- 4Notis will provide you a webhook URL to post to from your project tool or custom backend.
- 5Test by sending a test webhook and verifying the task list appears on WhatsApp with selectable options.
Questions about this workflow
Which tools can send webhooks?
Any tool with webhook support (Zapier, Make, Integromat, or custom code). Your project tool likely has a webhook option in its integrations.
What happens when someone selects a task?
You define this in your prompt. Typically: update a field in Airtable to mark it assigned, and send a confirmation message back to the team.
How many tasks can I show in the list?
WhatsApp allows up to 10 options per list message. Notis will truncate if you have more and suggest filtering by priority.
Can I change the task list on-the-fly?
Yes. You can update the automation prompt to change which tasks are included, and it takes effect on the next webhook.
