The problem it solves

Customers want to know their order is confirmed, but sending that update by hand for every sale doesn't scale. Emails often go unread, and you have no easy record of who actually got notified.

Who it fits

Online store owners and support teams running a WooCommerce shop.

How it works

  1. Triggers whenever a WooCommerce order comes in
  2. Cleans and checks the customer's phone number for WhatsApp
  3. Sends a personalized order update with the invoice link
  4. Logs whether the message was delivered or the number was invalid in Google Sheets
What you get

Customers updated the moment orders move

You get every customer notified on WhatsApp with a personalized update as soon as their order comes in.

What you get

A WhatsApp order confirmation sent to the customer and a delivery log in Google Sheets.

What you need

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

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.
