Send reply

Send a reply to a specific message in a whatsapp conversation. this creates a contextual reply that shows which message you're responding to. note: the reply will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.

Why this helps

Tasks sit in Salesforce limbo. Even after someone completes a task, stakeholders don't know it's done, so follow-up work doesn't start.

  • Instant confirmation when tasks wrap up
  • Stakeholders see completion without checking Salesforce
  • Trigger next-step workflows immediately
  • Keep teams aligned on progress

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and WhatsApp
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a task is marked Complete, send a WhatsApp reply to the task assignee saying the work is done'
  • 3Optionally include the task details, due date, and next action in the message
  • 4Test by completing a test task in Salesforce

Questions about this workflow

Who receives the WhatsApp reply?

The person assigned to the task, or whoever you specify in the automation prompt.

Can I include the next task in the message?

Yes. Tell Notis: 'When this task completes, send a message that includes the next task assigned to this person.'

What if the task is marked incomplete again?

You can set up a separate automation for that—like 'send a message if a completed task is reopened.'
