Make Decisions Faster with Interactive Buttons
When a task status changes in Notion, Notis sends interactive buttons to Whatsapp so you can approve, reject, or reassign with one tap.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
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
Tasks get stuck waiting for your decision because checking Notion status happens sporadically. Decision bottlenecks compound across projects.
- Respond to status changes in seconds instead of hours
- Eliminate context-switching by making decisions right in Whatsapp
- Reduce project delays caused by approval bottlenecks
- Keep task momentum alive with rapid decisions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and Whatsapp to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the trigger: Notion fires when a page's properties (like Status) are updated.
- 3Describe the action in plain language: 'When a task status changes to In Review, send a Whatsapp message with buttons: Approve, Request Changes, or Reassign.'
- 4Customize the buttons based on your workflow — for example, different buttons for different status values.
- 5Test by changing a task's status in Notion and verify the buttons arrive and work correctly.
Questions about this workflow
What happens when I tap a button?
Notis records your choice and updates the Notion page accordingly. You can customize the outcomes in your automation setup.
Can I send different buttons for different status values?
Yes. Your plain-language prompt can specify: 'If status changes to In Review, show these buttons; if status changes to Blocked, show these buttons.'
How many buttons can I add?
Whatsapp supports up to 3 buttons per message, which is perfect for common workflows like yes/no/maybe or approve/reject/reassign.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Whatsapp. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Whatsapp actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Create message template
Create a new message template for the whatsapp business account. templates must be approved by whatsapp before they can be used. templates are required for marketing messages and messages sent outside the 24-hour window.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Delete message template
Delete a message template from the whatsapp business account. this permanently removes the template and it cannot be recovered. only delete templates that are no longer needed.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get business profile
Get the business profile information for a whatsapp business phone number. this includes business details like description, address, website, and contact info.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Get media
Get information about uploaded media including a temporary download url. the download url is valid for 5 minutes and can be used to retrieve the actual media file. this is useful for downloading media that was sent to your whatsapp number.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Get media info
Get metadata about uploaded media without generating a download url. this is useful for checking file size, type, and hash without downloading the file. use get media if you need the actual download url.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Get message templates
Get all message templates for the whatsapp business account. templates are required for sending messages outside the 24-hour window and for marketing/utility messages.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Get phone number
Get details of a specific phone number associated with a whatsapp business account.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
Get phone numbers
Get all phone numbers associated with a whatsapp business account (waba).
