Instant Selections with WhatsApp Lists
When someone emails you options to choose from, Notis turns it into a clean WhatsApp list so you tap an option instead of typing.
Trigger

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
