You can use any approved WhatsApp message templates from your WhatsApp Business Account. The plugin supports utility templates with dynamic variable substitution. ### How do I map order data to template variables? In Dispatch Rules, specify a JSON array of variable names that correspond to your template’s placeholders: ``` ["billing_first_name", "order_number", "order_total"] ``` Available variables include: order_id, order_number, order_total, order_currency, billing_first_name, billing_last_name, billing_phone, billing_email, shipping_first_name, shipping_last_name, status, site_name. ### Why aren’t messages being sent? Check the following: 1. Verify your API credentials are correct in Signals Setup 2. Ensure the customer has a valid phone number in their billing details 3. Check that dispatch rules are enabled for the order status 4. Verify that Action Scheduler is running (provided by WooCommerce) ### How do I receive delivery status updates? Configure your WhatsApp Business App to send webhooks to your site’s endpoint. The plugin will automatically update message status as sent, delivered, read, or failed. ### Does the plugin support customer consent management? Yes. When Require Consent is enabled in Settings, a WhatsApp opt-in checkbox is shown at checkout and messages are only sent to customers who opted in. Consent records are stored locally for GDPR compliance. ### Can I manually send a WhatsApp message from an order? Yes. A “Send WhatsApp Message” meta box appears on the WooCommerce order page. Choose a dispatch rule and click “Send Now” to send a template message immediately. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Signals Dispatch for WooCommerce” is open source software.
