How to Integrate WANotifier With 1500+ Apps Using Integrately?

Integrately lets you connect your WANotifier account to 1,500+ apps including Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, Calendly, Typeform, Mailchimp, Notion, Airtable, and many more without writing any code. With 20 million+ ready-to-use 1-click automations plus AI-powered automation building, Integrately makes it effortless to send WhatsApp messages and sync contacts triggered by another app.


This guide walks you through connecting your WANotifier account to Integrately and sending your first WhatsApp notification or adding a new contact triggered by another app.


Step 1. Connect WANotifier to Integrately


  1. Go to integrately.com and sign in to your Integrately account.
  2. From the dashboard click on the dropdown on right top and open your profile page.



  1. Then click on Connected Accounts.



  1. Then click on Add Account and search for WANotifier and select it.



  1. Next we need to connect your WANotifier account. Paste your API Key.
  • To find it: in WANotifier, go to Integrations → API Integration → API Keys and copy your default key (or click Add New Key to create a dedicated key for Integrately).




  1. Click Continue. Integrately will verify the key and confirm the connection.


Step 2. Setup your First Automation


  1. From the dashboard, Click on + New Automation option and choose how you want to start:
  • AI Automation Builder: describe what you want to automate in plain English and let Integrately generate the automation.
  • Create From Scratch: select action and build a custom automation step-by-step.



  1. For this tutorial, we'll do a custom setup. First select a trigger app that will trigger the automation (e.g. Google Sheets, New Spreadsheet Row; Shopify, New Order; Typeform, New Entry; etc.). For this tutorial I've selected Webhook as trigger.



  1. Then we have to add the second app. Click on Select App 2 and search for and select WANotifier.



  1. Now select the action for both apps and click on Go.



  1. Configure the app 1 on the next page as per the app's standard process. This step will be different for different apps. Once you're ready click on Continue.



  1. Then in the 2nd app i.e. WANotifier select the connection we just created.



  1. After that you'll land on automation configuration page where you can configure your selected action.



Step 3. Setup an Action of Your Choice


WANotifier exposes three actions in Integrately. Pick whichever fits your use case.


  1. Send Message Template (Via a Notification) - Send a message template using a pre-configured transactional notification.
  2. Send Message (Within Active Session) - Send a free-form WhatsApp message (text, image, video, document, audio, sticker, location, or interactive reply buttons) during an active 24-hour conversation window.
  3. Create or Update Contact - Create or update contacts.


We've described how to set up each of these actions below.


1. Send Message Template (Via a Notification)


This action lets you send a WhatsApp message template using a Transactional Notification.


How to set it up:


  1. In WANotifier, go to Notifications → Add New and create a Transactional Notification:
  • Give it a name (e.g. "New Order from Shopify").
  • Select type as Transaction / Integration / API.
  • Select trigger as API request to a Webhook URL.
  • Pick the message template you want to send.
  • Keep Webhook Request Data as Default.
  • Save.


This is how it should look:



  1. Back in Integrately, with the action set to Send Message Template (Via a Notification), fill in:
  • Recipient WhatsApp Number (required): the destination number with country code, e.g. +919876543210.
  • Recipient First Name (optional).
  • Recipient Last Name (optional).
  • Transactional Notification (required): pick the notification you just created from the dropdown (Integrately fetches all your transactional notifications automatically).
  • Header media URL / Body Variables / Button Variables: these fields appear automatically once you pick the notification, based on the variables defined in your message template. Map each one to data from your trigger.
  1. Click Test and Turn On to send a real WhatsApp message using sample data.
  2. If there are no errors, your automation will go live instantly. If there are errors, click How to Fix for a guided resolution and try again.


2. Send Message (Within Active Session)


This action lets you reply to an ongoing conversation with a free-form message. WhatsApp only allows free-form messages while a 24-hour window with the contact is open (started by the contact's last incoming message). Outside that window the messages will not get sent.


How to set it up:


  1. In Integrately, set the action to Send Message (Within Active Session).
  2. Fill in the common fields:
  • Recipient WhatsApp Number (required): the contact you want to message, with country code, e.g. +919876543210.
  • Recipient First Name (optional).
  • Recipient Last Name (optional).
  • Message Type (required): pick one of Text, Image, Video, Document, Audio, Sticker, Location, or Interactive: Reply Buttons.
  1. Depending on the message type you pick, additional fields appear:
  • Text: Message Body (the text to send).
  • Image / Video / Document / Audio / Sticker: URL (a public link to the media), optional Filename (Document only) and Caption (Image / Video / Document).
  • Location: Latitude, Longitude, Place Name, Address.
  • Interactive: Reply Buttons: Message Body, plus Button 1 Text (required), Button 2 Text and Button 3 Text (optional, max 20 characters each).
  1. Click Test and Turn On. If the contact has an open 24-hour window, the message goes through immediately; otherwise WANotifier returns an error.
  2. Once everything is ready, your automation goes live.


3. Create or Update Contact


This action lets you sync contacts from another app into WANotifier. If a contact with the same WhatsApp number already exists, it's updated; otherwise a new contact is created. You can optionally add the contact to lists, tags, or set custom attributes.


How to set it up:


  1. In Integrately, set the action to Create or Update Contact.
  2. Fill in the fields:
  • WhatsApp Number (required): used as the unique identifier; include country code, e.g. +919876543210.
  • First Name (optional).
  • Last Name (optional).
  • Contact Status (optional): Subscribed (broadcast notifications go to this contact) or Unsubscribed (skipped during broadcasts). Defaults to Subscribed.
  • Tags (optional): select one or more tags from the dropdown (auto-fetched from your WANotifier account).
  • Lists (optional): select one or more lists from the dropdown.
  • Replace Tags & Lists (optional): Yes: the tags and lists you selected above replace whatever is currently on the contact. No: they're added on top of the contact's existing tags and lists.
  • Attribute fields (optional): every custom attribute you've defined in WANotifier appears as its own field, prefixed with Attribute:. Map values from your trigger as needed.
  1. Click Test and Turn On and confirm the contact appears under Contacts in WANotifier.
  2. Once everything is ready, your automation goes live.


Field Mapping Tips


  • Phone numbers must include the country code (e.g. +919876543210). Many apps store numbers without +. Use Integrately's Data Modifiers feature on the field to normalize them before sending to WANotifier.
  • Body variables appear in the order they exist in your template, {{1}}, {{2}}, etc. Make sure the data you map matches the variable order.
  • Header media (image, video, document URLs) must be public URLs accessible by WhatsApp's servers. You can not use dynamic links from services like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.
  • Lists, Tags, and Attributes for "Create or Update Contact" are pulled from your WANotifier account automatically. Pick from the dropdowns rather than typing free-text.
  • Mapping Fields in Integrately can be done in 4 ways: pre-defined values, mapping from the source app or previous steps, search-and-associate, or entering values manually. Use the one that fits your trigger data best.


That's it! With the WANotifier Integrately integration in place, you can now connect WhatsApp to virtually any tool in your stack and automate your messaging workflows end to end. If you run into any issues or need help building a specific automation, our support team is always happy to help, just reach out from your dashboard.
