WhatsApp Integration
Receive Submissions on WhatsApp Instantly
Notify your team on WhatsApp the moment a form is submitted. Send structured messages with respondent name, email, message, and a direct entry link — to up to 10 recipients simultaneously.
Up to 10 recipients
Add up to 10 WhatsApp phone numbers per form. Each recipient gets the same formatted alert instantly. Label recipients for easy management — Admin, Sales, Support, etc.
Approved message templates
Messages are sent using WhatsApp Business API approved templates. This ensures reliable delivery with no risk of account suspension. Templates support dynamic field placeholders.
Dynamic field placeholders
Insert any form field value into your WhatsApp message using placeholders like {{field_name}}, {{field_email}}, {{field_message}}. Each message is personalized with actual submission data.
Instant delivery
Messages are sent the moment a form is submitted — no polling, no cron delays. Your team sees the alert on WhatsApp within seconds, ready to respond immediately.
End-to-end encryption
WhatsApp Business API messages are end-to-end encrypted. Form data travels securely from your WordPress server to the recipient’s WhatsApp — no intermediary can read it.
Delivery status tracking
Every submission shows its WhatsApp delivery status in the entry detail view — Sent, Delivered, Read, or Failed. Debug delivery issues with detailed API response logs.
How It Works
WhatsApp alerts live in under 3 minutes
No developer needed. Connect your WhatsApp Business API, add recipients, choose a message template, and every submission sends an instant alert.
1
Connect WhatsApp Business API
Go to Neural Forms → Settings → Integrations and add your WhatsApp Business API credentials. Neural Forms connects to the official API — no unofficial bots or third-party relays.
2
Add recipients and pick a template
Open any form’s Integration tab, enable WhatsApp, and add up to 10 recipient phone numbers with labels (Admin, Sales, Manager). Select an approved message template or use the default submission alert.
3
Publish and get notified
Embed your form using the block editor, shortcode, or Divi 5 module. Every submission sends a WhatsApp message to all recipients instantly. View delivery status in the entry detail page.
Use Cases
How teams use WhatsApp notifications
Sales lead alerts
Your sales team gets a WhatsApp alert the instant a lead fills out the contact form. They can respond within minutes instead of hours — dramatically improving conversion rates.
Order notifications
E-commerce stores with quote request or custom order forms can notify the fulfillment team instantly on WhatsApp. Order details, quantities, and customer info arrive in one structured message.
Appointment bookings
Healthcare providers, salons, and consultants get WhatsApp alerts when patients or clients book appointments. The alert includes the date, time, service requested, and contact details.
Student inquiries
Educational institutions receive WhatsApp notifications when prospective students submit inquiry forms. The admissions team can follow up immediately via WhatsApp or phone.
Support ticket alerts
Customer support teams get instant WhatsApp alerts for urgent support tickets. Priority, category, and customer details are included so the right person can respond immediately.
Event registrations
Event organizers get WhatsApp alerts as registrations come in. Track sign-up velocity in real time, see attendee details instantly, and coordinate logistics with your team on the go.
Notification Setup
Add recipients, choose a template, and go live
The WhatsApp integration panel lets you manage recipient phone numbers with labels, select an approved message template, and preview exactly what your team will receive. Dynamic placeholders like {{field_name}} are replaced with actual form data at send time.
Live Alerts
See exactly what your team receives on WhatsApp
Every notification arrives as a clean, structured WhatsApp message from Neural Forms Bot. It includes the form name, submission timestamp, all mapped field values, and a direct link to view the full entry in WordPress.
FAQs
Common questions about the WhatsApp integration
Yes. Neural Forms uses the official WhatsApp Business API to send messages. You need a WhatsApp Business API account through a provider like Twilio, MessageBird, or Meta’s Cloud API. This ensures reliable delivery and compliance with WhatsApp’s policies.
Currently, the WhatsApp integration is designed for team notifications — alerting your staff when a form is submitted. Sending messages to respondents requires their opt-in consent and a separate WhatsApp Business conversation, which is on the roadmap.
WhatsApp Business API requires pre-approved message templates for business-initiated messages. Templates ensure messages are not spammy and comply with WhatsApp’s quality standards. Neural Forms provides a default template, and you can create custom ones in your API provider dashboard.
Neural Forms itself does not charge per message. However, your WhatsApp Business API provider (Twilio, MessageBird, Meta Cloud API) charges per conversation or per message based on their pricing. Costs are typically very low — a few cents per message.
Yes. All Neural Forms integrations are independent and can be enabled simultaneously. A single form submission can push data to HubSpot, add a Mailchimp subscriber, trigger a Zapier workflow, and send WhatsApp alerts — all at the same time.
The form submission is still saved in your WordPress database. The entry detail page shows the WhatsApp API response code and error message. Common issues include invalid phone numbers, expired API tokens, or unapproved templates. You can resend manually after fixing the issue.
