Hello everyone,

I want to connect WhatsApp to my Odoo system so that Odoo can send messages to my customers automatically. For example, I want Odoo to automatically text a customer a "Thank You" message when they buy something, or send them a delivery update without a human having to do it manually.

Since I am new to this, I would love some help from anyone who has done this before.

What I need help with:

  • The Steps: What is the actual step-by-step process to link a WhatsApp Business account to Odoo? Where do I even start?

  • Odoo Tools/Apps: Does Odoo have a built-in feature for this, or do I need to download a specific module from the Odoo App Store? (If yes, which apps do you recommend?)

  • Third-Party Tools: Are there other tools like Twilio or Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API that work best with Odoo?

  • Costs: Are there extra hidden fees I should expect from WhatsApp or Odoo to keep this running?

If you have a simple guide, documentation, or tips on how to set this up easily without breaking things, I would be incredibly grateful!

Thank you so much!

Hi,

Yes, Odoo can send automated WhatsApp messages such as order confirmations, delivery updates, invoices, reminders, and thank-you messages. The recommended approach is to use Odoo's built-in WhatsApp integration with the WhatsApp Business Platform (Meta Cloud API). Note that this feature is available only in Odoo Enterprise.

The basic setup process is:

    Create a Meta Business Account and complete business verification.
    Create a Meta Developer Account.
    Create a Meta App and add the WhatsApp product.
    Configure a WhatsApp Business phone number.
    Connect the WhatsApp Business Account to Odoo under WhatsApp Configuration.
    Create and approve WhatsApp message templates in Meta.
    Use Odoo's automation features to send messages automatically based on business events (sales orders, deliveries, invoices, etc.).

For third-party providers, many businesses use Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API directly, while others use providers such as Twilio or dedicated Odoo WhatsApp connector modules. However, if you are using Odoo Enterprise, the built-in WhatsApp application is generally the simplest and most supported option.

Hello, 

Yes, this can be achieved by integrating Odoo with a WhatsApp Business account through the WhatsApp Business API (Cloud API) or providers such as Twilio.

A typical setup process is:

  1. Create and verify a WhatsApp Business account.
  2. Obtain access to the WhatsApp Business API (Meta Cloud API or a supported provider).
  3. Configure the API credentials in Odoo.
  4. Install/configure the appropriate WhatsApp module (native Odoo feature or a trusted Odoo App Store module, depending on your Odoo version).
  5. Create automated actions or workflows to trigger messages for events such as order confirmations, delivery updates, invoices, etc.

Regarding costs:

  • Odoo may require the appropriate edition/modules.
  • WhatsApp Business API providers typically charge based on message volume and conversation categories.
  • Some third-party connectors may have separate licensing fees.

For best results, we generally recommend using the official WhatsApp Business API/Cloud API to ensure long-term stability and compliance.

Hope this works for you! If you need any help implementing this or want a more optimized approach, feel free to reach out for further discussion.

Hello,

Yes, Odoo Enterprise has a built-in WhatsApp integration, so you should first check the standard Odoo WhatsApp app before using a third-party module.

The usual setup is:

  1. Create or use an existing WhatsApp Business Account in Meta.

  2. Create/configure your Meta Developer app.

  3. Connect the WhatsApp Business API/Cloud API details with Odoo.

  4. Create WhatsApp message templates in Odoo.

  5. Submit/approve the templates through WhatsApp/Meta.

  6. Use those templates from Odoo documents such as quotations, invoices, CRM, delivery orders, etc.

  7. For automatic messages, use Automated Actions and choose the “Send WhatsApp” action with the required template.

For example, you can send a “Thank You” message after a sale order is confirmed, or a delivery update when a delivery order reaches a specific stage/status.

Modules/tools you may need:

  • Odoo WhatsApp app/integration

  • Sales / Inventory / CRM, depending on your workflow

  • Automated Actions / Studio for automation

  • Meta WhatsApp Business Platform

For third-party tools, Meta WhatsApp Cloud API is the most direct/official option. Twilio, 360dialog, and other providers can also work, but they usually require either a connector module or custom development.

For costs, expect possible charges from WhatsApp/Meta based on message conversations/templates, and possibly extra costs if you use a third-party provider or a paid Odoo App Store connector.

My recommendation: start with Odoo’s official WhatsApp integration. Only go for a third-party module or custom module if the standard Odoo flow does not cover your use case.
