WbizTool

Send WhatsApp messages from Make.com

WbizTool has no app of its own on Make. You send WhatsApp messages from a Make scenario with Make's built-in HTTP module: one POST request to the WbizTool Send message API, and the message goes out from your own connected WhatsApp number.

Free trial: 50 messages in any 30 days, no card.

How it works

  1. Get your three values

    Your Client ID and API key from Settings → API keys, and the WhatsApp Client ID of the number you send from, shown on WhatsApp settings.

  2. Add the HTTP module

    After your trigger (a new form entry, a new spreadsheet row, a new order), add Make's HTTP module with the Make a request action.

  3. Set the request

    Method POST, URL https://wbiztool.com/api/v1/send_msg/. Body type JSON (raw, content type application/json) or form data. No authentication: the credentials go in the body.

  4. Fill in the body fields

    Type your credentials as fixed values and map phone and msg from your trigger's data.

  5. Run it once

    A response with "status": 1 means the message was queued. WbizTool then sends it from your number.

Copy-paste examples

Request body (JSON) – text message
{
  "client_id": 12345,
  "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "whatsapp_client": 678,
  "msg_type": 0,
  "country_code": "91",
  "phone": "PHONE_FROM_TRIGGER",
  "msg": "Hi NAME_FROM_TRIGGER, thanks for your order. We will update you here on WhatsApp."
}
Request body (JSON) – file with a message
{
  "client_id": 12345,
  "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "whatsapp_client": 678,
  "msg_type": 2,
  "country_code": "91",
  "phone": "PHONE_FROM_TRIGGER",
  "file_url": "https://example.com/invoices/INV-1042.pdf",
  "file_name": "INV-1042.pdf",
  "msg": "Here is your invoice."
}
Successful response
{
  "status": 1,
  "message": "Created",
  "msg_id": 9817263
}

What you can do

  • Any Make trigger

    Message people from whatever starts your scenario, such as a new form entry, a new spreadsheet row or a new order.

  • Images and files

    Set msg_type to 1 with img_url for an image (msg becomes the caption), or 2 with file_url and file_name for a file. Links must be public.

  • WhatsApp groups

    Send group_name in place of phone and country_code to post to a WhatsApp group your number is in.

  • Know when it's sent

    Pass a webhook URL, such as a Make webhook. It receives msg_id and status: SENT, FAILED, CANCELLED or EXPIRED.

  • Drop late messages

    Set expire_after_seconds, such as 3600: a message not sent in that time is marked Expired and not sent.

Good to know

  • There is no WbizTool app on Make. It works through Make's HTTP module and the WbizTool API, so you set the URL and fields yourself.
  • The API works on the free trial (50 messages in any 30 days). Paid plans send unlimited messages under fair use, up to 1,000 a day per number. Group messages work on every plan too.
  • If your numbers are local, such as 9876543210, always send country_code, or the message goes to the wrong number or fails.
  • On an error the API returns HTTP 400 with "status": 0 and a message such as "Invalid phone number". Open the module's output to read it. A number that hit its daily limit gets HTTP 429 instead.
  • If a mapped field has line breaks and the JSON body becomes invalid, switch the body type to form data.
  • WbizTool sends from your own WhatsApp number, so WhatsApp's own rules apply: message people who expect to hear from you, such as your customers and leads.

Questions

Is there a WbizTool app on Make?
No. Use Make's HTTP module with the Make a request action and POST to https://wbiztool.com/api/v1/send_msg/ with your Client ID, API key and the message in the body.
Do I set up authentication in the HTTP module?
No. Leave it set to none: client_id and api_key go in the request body. You don't need any extra headers either.
JSON or form data?
Both work. Use JSON (raw, application/json) or form data, whichever is easier to map in your scenario.
"status": 1 came back but nothing arrived. Why?
"status": 1 means the message was queued, not yet sent. It waits until your WhatsApp number is connected. Pass a webhook URL to be told when it's actually sent.
Can I leave out whatsapp_client?
Only when your workspace has exactly one connected number. Otherwise send the WhatsApp Client ID from WhatsApp settings.
