  • The billing phone, and Opted out when the customer sent STOP.
  • The last five messages for this order, each with its status.
  • A box to write a new message, with Send on WhatsApp under it.

Type the message and click Send on WhatsApp.

A message typed into the WhatsApp box before sending

The message goes to the billing phone and appears in the box with its status. The order also gets a note, “WhatsApp message sent:” followed by the text, which the customer can see on their order.

The order placeholders from the Notifications tab work here too, so {order_id} and {order_total} are filled in. The box does not say so.

The message is logged with the type Manual on the Messages screen.
