The problem it solves

Every time you add a new product category, telling customers means a manual email blast or nothing at all. You also have no reliable way to know which customer phone numbers are even valid for messaging, so outreach is a guessing game.

Who it fits

An online store owner on WooCommerce who wants to promote new categories directly to customers.

How it works

  1. Triggers automatically when a new product category is created
  2. Pulls the full customer list from your store
  3. Cleans and verifies each customer's phone number
  4. Sends a WhatsApp message about the new category to verified numbers
  5. Logs every verified and unverified customer in a Google Sheet
What you get

Customers who hear about new categories right away

You get customers notified on WhatsApp the moment you add a new product category to your store.

What you get

A WhatsApp announcement sent to verified customers and a Google Sheet log of who was reached.

What you need

A WooCommerce store, a WhatsApp messaging API account, and a Google account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
