Gather Weekly Feedback Without Retrospective Meetings
Every Friday at 2pm, Notis sends your team an interactive poll on WhatsApp: 'What went well this week? What was hard? What should we change?' Your team responds with buttons or text. You get honest, written feedback instead of a meeting where half the team zones out.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send interactive buttons
Send an interactive button message to a whatsapp number. button messages allow users to quickly respond by tapping up to 3 predefined buttons. perfect for yes/no questions, quick choices, or call-to-action scenarios. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Retrospectives are scheduled but people zone out or rush through them. Feedback is surface-level. Writing it async on WhatsApp gets better, more honest responses.
- Get real, written feedback instead of meeting theater
- Reduce meeting fatigue for your neurodivergent team
- Collect feedback that's actually honest and actionable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Every Friday at 2pm, send an interactive poll to the team WhatsApp group with buttons for: Went well / Was hard / Should change. Include a text option for detailed feedback.'
- 3Select 'Scheduled' and set for Friday at 2pm.
- 4Pick your team WhatsApp group as the channel.
- 5Review feedback responses the following Monday and identify action items.
Questions about this workflow
What do you do with the responses?
Review them on Monday, identify themes, and discuss action items in your next planning meeting. Or ask Notis to summarize the top feedback themes in a document.
How do I handle sensitive or critical feedback?
Feedback on WhatsApp is team-visible, so people might self-censor. You can create an anonymous option: a private link to a form for sensitive feedback, separate from the WhatsApp poll.
Will people actually respond?
Async written feedback usually gets higher response rates than synchronous meetings. The barrier to respond on WhatsApp is lower than showing up to a Zoom call.
