Turn Casual Task Mentions Into Protected Calendar Time
Your team mentions a task deadline in a WhatsApp chat. Notis creates a calendar event so you can reserve focused time and never miss the deadline.
Trigger
Interactive Reply Received
Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders rely heavily on external task capture, but tasks mentioned casually in chat often disappear. Without explicit calendar time, important work gets deprioritized or forgotten until the last minute, causing stress and rushed work.
- Captures tasks mentioned in chat without extra work
- Automatically blocks focused time for task completion
- Prevents last-minute deadline surprises
- Keeps all tasks in one visible place
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp Business Account and Google Calendar to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Quick Task Mention to Event', Trigger set to 'Interactive Reply Received'.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a task or deadline is mentioned in an interactive WhatsApp message (e.g., someone selects a deadline date or replies with task info), create a Google Calendar event for that task with a reminder 1 day before the due date.'
- 4Choose your reporting channel.
- 5Test by replying to a WhatsApp interactive message with a task mention and confirm the event appears.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know it's a task and not just conversation?
You define what counts as a task in the prompt. For example: 'Look for keywords like deadline, due, finish, complete, or submit.'
Can it schedule the event before the deadline?
Yes, you can tell Notis: 'Schedule the event 2 days before the deadline to allow buffer time' or 'Schedule it for the day before with a reminder.'
What if multiple tasks are mentioned?
Notis will create separate calendar events for each task mentioned, or you can configure it to create one summary event for multiple tasks.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Google Calendar. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Google Calendar 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
