My spell checker told me that one.
Most English spellcheckers should automatically flag it up (and potentially correct it for you). Anyone who uses WhatsApp on a regular basis should already know how to write it.

@Yueehs please note that I have changed your thread title to correct a small grammatical error and a spelling mistake.

...please use this Whatsapp group chat to notify for/to discuss/to deal with the following matters:

I am sure the WA group chat is to be used more than just for notification.

That's not the point. The original message suggests that the members of that group are being told that posting in that WhatsApp group is the only way to notify someone (presumably management) if any of those situations apply on any given day. I take it to mean "You can't phone in, you can't email us, you can't send a message with another employee - you must use this WhatsApp group for the following situations".
