Create a Daily WhatsApp Message Summary in Airtable
Start each day with a single Airtable view of every WhatsApp conversation from the past 24 hours. No app-switching, no missed messages.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List records
Retrieves records from an airtable table, with options for filtering, sorting, pagination, and specifying returned fields.
Why this helps
You wake up to dozens of WhatsApp notifications but no system for reviewing them. You check WhatsApp, Slack, email, your CRM—context-switching kills your morning. By noon, you've forgotten half the requests and promises you made.
- Single daily dashboard: all messages in one Airtable view
- No app-switching: check Airtable instead of 5 different apps
- Searchable archive: find old conversations instantly
- Structured review: identify patterns and high-priority messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Connect Airtable to Notis (one-time setup).
- 3Tell Notis: 'Every morning at 9am, list all the WhatsApp messages I received in the last 24 hours and add them to my Airtable messages table.'
- 4Specify your preferred notification channel so Notis alerts you when the snapshot is ready.
- 5Review the first snapshot to ensure the right fields are captured, then adjust if needed.
Questions about this workflow
What time should the snapshot run?
You pick—morning, before bed, or multiple times a day. Just tell Notis in your automation prompt (e.g., 'every morning at 8am' or 'every 6 hours').
Will this include media and attachments?
Notis captures text, links, and metadata about attachments. For full media, you may need to review WhatsApp directly, but Notis will flag that media was sent.
Can I filter to only high-priority messages?
Yes. Ask Notis to include only messages from certain contacts or with keywords you specify.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Airtable. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Airtable actions
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
