Connect Fluent Support and WhatsApp Cloud API

Customers check WhatsApp far more often than a support inbox. FlowMattic sends Fluent Support ticket events to the WhatsApp Business number you own: a receipt when a ticket opens, a nudge when an agent replies, a feedback request when it closes. Agents can be pinged too when something urgent arrives. For WordPress businesses whose customers prefer chat.

Fluent Support and WhatsApp Cloud API workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Acknowledge each new support ticket on WhatsApp

Customers get a WhatsApp message with their ticket number, so fewer of them open a second ticket. Plain text works inside WhatsApp's 24-hour window; outside it, switch to an approved template.

Tell customers on WhatsApp when an agent has replied

An approved template message says there is a new reply on their ticket, so customers who miss the email notification still come back to the conversation.

Give VIP customers a personal WhatsApp follow-up

A Branch checks for a VIP or Pro customer. Those tickets get a WhatsApp message from a named person and an email to the account owner, while others follow the normal path.

Ask for a rating when an agent closes the ticket

A template message thanks the customer and links to a short survey, sent where they are most likely to answer instead of another email.

Ping the on-call agent about urgent tickets

A Filter passes tickets marked critical or from your outage form, and the on-call agent's own WhatsApp gets the subject and customer, even outside working hours.

Send the setup guide PDF for product questions

Tickets about a product's setup get its PDF guide by WhatsApp Document Message while the agent works on the answer, which often solves the problem first.

Set up: a WhatsApp receipt for new tickets

When finished, each new Fluent Support ticket sends the customer a WhatsApp message from your business number.

  1. Connect WhatsApp Cloud API

    Under Connects in FlowMattic, add a WhatsApp Cloud API connection with your business phone number's details from Meta.

  2. Collect phone numbers

    Add a phone field to your ticket form or customer profile, and ask for the number with its country code.

  3. Start with Ticket Created

    Create a workflow with the Fluent Support Ticket Created trigger. It runs on your WordPress site, so it needs no connection. Open a test ticket to capture fields.

  4. Send the message

    Add WhatsApp Cloud API Send Text Message or Send Template Message, map the customer's phone and write the text with the ticket number, then test and switch on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • WhatsApp only allows free-form text within 24 hours of the customer's last message to you. To message someone first, use Send Template Message with a template Meta has approved.
  • Fluent Support does not need a phone number to open a ticket, so make sure your form or customer profile collects one. The mapping above assumes a phone field.
  • Meta charges for WhatsApp conversations on your own Meta business account. FlowMattic adds no cost per message.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Fluent Support and WhatsApp Cloud API connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Messages leave from your server

Ticket details go from Fluent Support to the WhatsApp Cloud API directly from your WordPress site, with your own Meta account.

No per-message markup

Runs are unlimited, so the only messaging cost is what Meta charges for WhatsApp conversations.

Every ticket event can message

New tickets, agent replies and closures each start their own workflow, so customers hear from you at each step of the ticket.

Common questions

Can Fluent Support send WhatsApp notifications to customers?

Yes, with FlowMattic. Start a workflow with a Fluent Support trigger such as Ticket Created or Agent Replies to a Ticket and add a WhatsApp Cloud API step with the customer's phone number and your message or template.

Do I need WhatsApp message templates?

For the first message to a customer, yes. Create and get the template approved in Meta's WhatsApp Manager, then choose it in Send Template Message and map the ticket number and name into its variables.

Can customers reply on WhatsApp into the ticket?

Not with these steps, which only send messages through WhatsApp Cloud API. Ask customers to reply in the ticket, or catch WhatsApp messages with a Webhook and use Reply to Ticket.

What format must phone numbers be in?

Use the full international number with country code and no leading zeros, such as 447700900123. Text Formatter can remove spaces and symbols customers type.
