"Are you sure?", confirm an action triggered on the Dashboard with whatsapp. Whin use case.
On this flow you will see how to get a whatsapp with two buttons (yes / no) that will ask you for confirmation before a kill switch on you node-red Dashboard changes state.
It is useful if your node-red dashboard has a switch that triggers an automation, and you don't want it to happen without your active action.
This example is an alternative to a pop-up message shown on the dashboard which was the original solution suggested on the community forum.
You can see a demo of the flow running here: https://youtu.be/ePGRRq4VTz4
This flow is inspired on this thread: https://discourse.nodered.org/t/are-you-sure-pop-ups/13458/25; it is an alternative implementation using node-red-contrib-whin nodes.
