Bring WhatsApp Conversations into Notion Discussions
Important WhatsApp conversations become Notion discussion threads automatically, so your team can reference and build on ideas in context.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
Action
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Why this helps
Critical conversations happen in WhatsApp, but they're not searchable or structured. Your team can't easily find or reference them later.
- Move important conversations to a searchable medium without copy-pasting
- Keep team discussions organized in Notion instead of scattered in WhatsApp
- Build institutional knowledge by threading decisions and reasoning
- Reduce context loss when team members change
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Notion integrations.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I message Notis on WhatsApp with #discuss, create a discussion thread in my Notion page with that conversation.'
- 3Notis will monitor WhatsApp for your trigger signal and log messages to a discussion thread.
- 4Choose the page where discussions appear (or create a dedicated discussions page).
- 5Test by sending a WhatsApp message with your signal and verify the thread appears in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
Can multiple people contribute to the same discussion thread?
Yes. If multiple team members message the same thread on WhatsApp with your trigger signal, Notis adds all messages to the Notion discussion.
How does Notis know which thread to add messages to?
You specify a thread ID in your WhatsApp message (e.g., 'discuss-project-x') or Notis creates a new thread for each unique conversation.
Can I start a discussion in Notion and have it sync back to WhatsApp?
This automation flows from WhatsApp to Notion. For bidirectional sync, set up a separate automation for Notion responses.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Notion. 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
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Interactive Reply Received
Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Message Template Status Update
Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
