Connect FluentCRM and WhatsApp Cloud API

FluentCRM already knows who your contacts are and what they signed up for. FlowMattic adds WhatsApp as a second channel, sending template, text, image or document messages through the WhatsApp Cloud API when a contact is created, tagged, added to a list or has an email bounce. It all runs from the WordPress site FluentCRM lives on.

1. TriggerNew Contact Created
2. ActionSend Template Message

When FluentCRM fires New Contact Created, FlowMattic runs Send Template Message in WhatsApp Cloud API with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

FluentCRM 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.

Message new contacts on WhatsApp based on their status

A Router checks the new contact's status. Subscribed contacts get your welcome template, and pending ones get a reminder to confirm their email.

Remind webinar sign-ups on the day of the event

When a contact gets your webinar tag, they receive a template with the date and link, and a Delay sends a second template shortly before the start.

Reach contacts on WhatsApp when their email bounces

A bounce means the email address is wrong. A template asks the contact to update it, and a tag in FluentCRM marks who has been asked.

Tell a sales rep when a contact clicks the pricing link

A Filter passes only clicks on your pricing or booking link and sends the rep a WhatsApp template with the contact's name and email, so they can follow up while interest is fresh.

Send the course guide as a PDF after purchase

When the purchase tag is added, the contact gets the guide as a WhatsApp document, which is easier to find again on a phone than an email attachment.

Share a members-only offer image with your VIP list

Adding a contact to the VIP list sends them the offer as an image message and logs it as an event on their FluentCRM profile.

Set up: message new contacts by status

At the end, each new FluentCRM contact with a phone number gets the WhatsApp message that fits their status.

  1. Prepare templates

    In your WhatsApp Business account, create the welcome and confirm-your-email templates and wait until they are approved.

  2. Connect WhatsApp Cloud API

    In FlowMattic, add the WhatsApp Cloud API connection under Connects. FluentCRM runs on the same site, so it needs no connection.

  3. Choose New Contact Created

    Start a workflow with FluentCRM's New Contact Created and add a test contact with a phone number in international format.

  4. Add the Router

    Add a Router with one path for subscribed and one for pending, each with its own Send Template Message.

  5. Map and test

    Map the phone number and first name into each template, test both paths on your own number and switch the workflow 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

  • Every workflow on this page starts from a FluentCRM event and sends through WhatsApp Cloud API.
  • Send Text Message and the media actions go to a session the contact opened or replied to, as their descriptions say. Use Send Template Message to start a conversation.
  • Contacts without a phone number make the WhatsApp step fail. Add a Filter that checks the phone field before it.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

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

Contacts and messages in one place

FluentCRM, FlowMattic and the trigger data all live on your WordPress site, so no contact list has to be exported.

No task count from FlowMattic

Runs are unlimited on every plan, so messaging every new contact adds nothing to your FlowMattic plan.

FluentCRM records what was sent

Actions like Add Tags to Contact and Add Event to Contact let the same workflow note on the profile which WhatsApp message went out.

Common questions

Can FluentCRM send WhatsApp messages to a whole list?

Yes, as a workflow. Use a Schedule with Get Contact by List IDs, loop over the contacts with Iterator and send a template to each. Only message contacts who agreed to hear from you on WhatsApp.

Where does the phone number come from?

From the contact's phone field in FluentCRM, or a custom field if you store it there. Keep numbers in international format so the message reaches the right country.

Can a WhatsApp reply update FluentCRM?

Not with the workflows on this page, which start from FluentCRM events. Workflows run from FluentCRM to WhatsApp.

Can I stop messaging someone who unsubscribes?

Yes. Add a Filter on the contact's status before the WhatsApp step, or start a workflow from Contact Status Change to Unsubscribed that adds a tag your other workflows check.
