Batch update spreadsheet

Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.

Why this helps

Sending WhatsApp button messages but manually updating your CRM based on responses instead of automating the status change.

  • Customer statuses update automatically based on their responses
  • No manual CRM entry—responses go straight to your sheet
  • See response rates at a glance with all data in one place

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Google Sheets to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a customer taps a WhatsApp button (yes/no, interested/not interested), update their row in my customers sheet with their response and timestamp.'
  • 3Set the trigger to 'Interactive Reply Received.'
  • 4Choose your notification channel.
  • 5Send a test button message and verify the response updates your sheet.

Questions about this workflow

Can I use this for multiple choice buttons?

Yes. Notis tracks any button option. Define your buttons in WhatsApp and tell Notis what to log for each selection—e.g., 'if Standard is selected, mark as interested in basic plan.'

What if a customer doesn't reply?

Notis only logs responses that arrive. Use a cron trigger if you want to follow up with non-responders after a certain time period.

Can I send different buttons to different segments?

Yes. Create separate automations for different customer segments or use Notis's filtering to send specific button messages to specific groups.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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
