New Contact: Instant Template Welcome
Welcome every new contact automatically. Send your brand's pre-approved WhatsApp template message the moment they're added to Salesforce.
Trigger
New Contact Trigger
Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.
Action
Send template message
Send a template message to a whatsapp number.
Why this helps
New contacts enter Salesforce but never hear from you. Manual welcome messages are inconsistent and easy to skip.
- Consistent first impression via template
- No manual welcome message to write
- Works outside the 24-hour window with templates
- Starts the relationship on time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and WhatsApp and create a WhatsApp message template (if you don't have one already)
- 2Create a Notis automation: 'When a new contact is created, send our welcome template message via WhatsApp'
- 3Select 'New Contact Trigger' and WhatsApp as your channel
- 4Test by creating a test contact in Salesforce
Questions about this workflow
Do I need WhatsApp templates pre-approved?
Yes, for template messages. You can create templates in WhatsApp Business Manager or tell Notis to help you set one up.
Can I send different templates to different contact types?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'If they're an enterprise contact, send template A; if they're a startup, send template B.'
What if they don't have WhatsApp?
Notis skips invalid numbers. You'll see a run report showing who received the message.
