How to configure automatic alerts and notifications via WhatsApp

Configuring automatic alerts and notifications via WhatsApp means creating automations that send messages to customers, suppliers, or internal teams whenever a specific event occurs in the system — without manual intervention, with real data, on the channel people already use.

Why automatic WhatsApp notifications have high impact

Compared to email or SMS, WhatsApp has one of the highest open and response rates. A notification sent via WhatsApp reaches the recipient where they are — and is typically read within minutes.

For companies that need to inform customers about order status, alert teams about approaching deadlines, or communicate completed approvals, WhatsApp is the most efficient channel available today.

The challenge is doing this in a structured way — with approved templates, accurate data, and without relying on someone to trigger messages manually.

What can be automated as a WhatsApp notification

Order status: confirmation, in production, shipped, delivered
Deadline alerts: SLA expiring, delayed task, approval pending for X hours
Scheduling, meeting, or delivery confirmations
Internal alerts: new ticket opened, request received, approval released
Automatic follow-up for customers at specific funnel stages
