Team Task Assignment Confirmations
When you assign a task in your sheet, the team member gets an instant WhatsApp message asking for confirmation—one tap to confirm.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Row Changed
Triggers when a looked-up spreadsheet row changes. This trigger monitors a specific row (located by searching for a query value within a user-specified range) and fires when the row's values change, when the row appears, or when the row disappears.
Action
Send interactive buttons
Send an interactive button message to a whatsapp number. button messages allow users to quickly respond by tapping up to 3 predefined buttons. perfect for yes/no questions, quick choices, or call-to-action scenarios. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
You assign tasks but don't know if people saw them, leading to repeat messages and confusion about who's doing what.
- Immediate acknowledgment that someone saw the assignment
- One-tap confirmation—faster than a return message
- Clear audit trail of who confirmed what

- 5Test by assigning a task to a team member and verify they see the button message.
Questions about this workflow
What happens when they tap Confirm?
You can have Notis log the confirmation in a column in your sheet, or simply receive a notification that they confirmed.
Can I send the button messages to multiple team members at once?
Yes. If your sheet has multiple assignee columns or a team list, Notis can send to each person.
How many buttons can I include?
WhatsApp allows up to 3 buttons per message. Plan your confirmation options accordingly.
