Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders struggle to remember who voted for what when feedback is scattered across WhatsApp polls and button clicks. Exporting and organizing responses manually is tedious.
- Feedback stays attached to the document where decisions are made
- Timestamped record of all responses
- No manual export or transcription needed
- Easy to see who said what, when, at a glance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp Business Account and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with: 'When someone replies to my WhatsApp interactive message, add their response as a comment to the decision document in Google Drive.'
- 3Specify which Drive document to log feedback into (or let Notis create a new feedback tracker).
- 4Send a test poll via WhatsApp and confirm the reply appears as a comment in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Can I log feedback for multiple decisions?
Yes, set up separate automations for each decision, or use one document as a feedback log with replies sorted by topic.
What if I need to see response counts or summaries?
Notis can organize comments by response type and generate summaries in Drive; ask in your prompt for the format you prefer.

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