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

New accounts sit in Salesforce while you figure out what to do next. Manual engagement planning delays velocity and loses momentum.

  • Immediate engagement menu for new accounts
  • Prospects choose their preferred next step
  • No manual outreach decision needed
  • Capture preferences at the right moment

  • 3Notis routes menu selections back to your Salesforce record

Questions about this workflow

Can I customize the menu options?

Yes, fully. Tell Notis what options to show based on account type, industry, or any Salesforce field.

What happens after they select an option?

You can chain follow-up automations. E.g., 'If they pick Schedule Demo, create a calendar link and send it.'

How long does the menu stay active?

WhatsApp menus are live for 90 days, and you can resend them anytime.
