Why this helps
Approved proposals sit in your sheet while clients wait for confirmation, or you manually message each one.
- Zero delay between approval and client notification
- Template ensures consistent messaging across all proposals
- Removes the manual step of 'remember to tell them'

- 3Create an automation: 'When a proposal row in my sheet has its approval column set to yes, send the approval template message to the client.'
- 4Select 'Cell Range Values Changed' to monitor your approval status column.
- 5Set WhatsApp as your channel and test by marking a proposal as approved.
Questions about this workflow
Why use a template message instead of a regular text?
Template messages are approved by WhatsApp and can be sent outside the 24-hour conversation window, ensuring delivery even if the client hasn't messaged you first.
What if I need different messages for different proposal types?
Create multiple automations—one for each proposal type—each with its own template message.
Can I include proposal details in the message?
Yes, but template parameters are limited. Tell Notis what details matter most and it will work with WhatsApp template variables.
