Hi @mrrcomp_zap 

WhatsApp Messenger is not supported as a Zap app: https://zapier.com/apps/whatsapp-messenger/integrations

WhatsApp Notifications has these available Zap app events: https://zapier.com/apps/whatsapp-notifications/integrations#triggers-and-actions

Hi @mrrcomp_zap,

I’m jumping in to see if I can help!

The only supported app in Zapier is the WhatsApp Notifications app. You can only use WhatsApp Notifications to send messages to yourself. More about that here: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/19805639844621-Send-messages-in-Zaps-using-WhatsApp

Hopefully, this helps!

Can whatsapp Notifications be sent to whatsapp groups?

Hi @sigmacreed,

Unfortunately, you can only send WhatsApp Notifications messages to yourself and not to WhatsApp groups.

Hopefully, this helps.

Hi @sigmacreed and @mrrcomp_zap ,

 

Notwithstanding what @Troy Tessalone and @ken.a said, there are apps that can integrate with Zapier and send Whatsapp messages such Timelines.ai  and  WATI . None of which sends to groups. 

 

You have to understand the limitations of each of them though.
