Webhook Workflows & Event-Driven Automation
Trigger automated WhatsApp template notifications (order confirmations, OTP authentication codes, shipping updates) from external webhooks with granular telemetry and delivery analytics.
Prerequisites:
- Meta-approved WhatsApp message templates in your Business Manager
- External store or server capable of sending HTTP POST webhooks (Salla, Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom backend)
- Sample event payload structure
Implementation Steps & Visual System Telemetry:
Creating a Webhook Workflow & Mapping Meta Templates
From Automation > Webhook Workflows, click Create and name your workflow (e.g., New Order or OTP Message). Bind the workflow to an approved Meta template for instantaneous dispatch.
Meta-Approved Templates
Utility templates like system_order_success or authentication OTP messages.
Unique Inbound Endpoint
MeaChat provides a dedicated, encrypted webhook listener URL for each workflow.
Verified Status Engine
Automated verification of template parameters and variable parity before activation.
| Workflow Name | Assigned Template | Status | Processed | Delivered | Opened |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Order | system_order_success_notification | Active | 1,420 | 99.2% | 88.5% |
| OTP Message | otp_verification_code_instant | Active | 8,950 | 99.8% | 94.1% |
Event Routing & Dynamic JSON Payload Mapping
Paste your webhook URL into Salla, Shopify, or your custom server. On any event trigger (such as order.created), MeaChat parses the recipient phone, order value, and details within 2 seconds.
Sub-2-Second Delivery
Order confirmations and OTP verification codes reach customer phones almost instantaneously.
Automatic Parameter Interpolation
Maps {{1}} to customer name, {{2}} to order number, and {{3}} to trackable waybill links.
Smart Retry Engine
Automatically retries delivery if a customer device is temporarily unreachable or offline.
