Hi all,
The WhatsApp client notifications request on the feature tracker has 559 votes and is still open, so I started building a notification provider module for it.
What I'm aiming at is different from the options I found. Every one of them routes you through a paid gateway - Twilio, or the vendor's own service - with a fee on top of what Meta already charges. I want to remove that layer:
- Connects straight to Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API with your own credentials. No middleman, no markup on top of Meta's own per-message cost.
- One-time purchase, not a subscription.
- Ships with ready-made message templates for the usual WHMCS events, so you are not writing and submitting templates to Meta from scratch.
Before I go further I would rather ask than guess:
1. Are you already sending WhatsApp notifications somehow? If yes, what are you using and what annoys you about it?
2. Which events actually matter to you? I am assuming invoice created, payment received, overdue reminder, service due and domain expiry - but I would rather hear it from people running this daily.
3. Would you prefer a one-time purchase or a subscription? I am planning one-time, but tell me if that is wrong.
Also: if anyone is willing to test an early build on a real install, I will give you a free lifetime licence. Honest feedback is worth more to me than the sale.
Thanks,
Semih
