4 min read·Updated 2026-06-30

Quick answer

Settings → Integrations → WhatsApp → Configure. You need a WhatsApp Business API access (via Meta Cloud API or a BSP like Gupshup/AiSensy). Paste the access token + phone number ID. Once live, every invoice has a 'Send WhatsApp' button + auto-reminders for overdue invoices.

Prerequisites

WhatsApp Business API access — either directly via Meta Cloud API (free tier) or via a BSP (Business Solution Provider) like Gupshup, AiSensy, or Twilio. You'll need a verified phone number.

Step 1 — Get credentials

From Meta Cloud API: developers.facebook.com → WhatsApp Business → System User → Access Token. Note your Phone Number ID and Business Account ID. From a BSP: they provide a unified API token.

Step 2 — Configure in Easedesk

Settings → Integrations → WhatsApp → choose Provider (Meta / Gupshup / AiSensy) → paste token + phone ID → Test.

Step 3 — Approve templates

WhatsApp requires pre-approved message templates for transactional sends. Easedesk has 5 pre-built: invoice_notification, payment_reminder, payment_received, statement, otp. Approve them via your BSP or directly in Meta Business Manager (24-48 hour review).

Step 4 — Send

On any invoice, click Send → WhatsApp. Customer gets the invoice PDF + payment link instantly. Read receipts + delivery status appear in the invoice timeline.

Frequently asked questions

Are template messages free?
Meta allows 1000 free service conversations/month. Beyond that, ~₹0.30-₹0.80 per message depending on category. BSPs add their markup.
Can I auto-send reminders?
Yes — Settings → WhatsApp → Auto-reminders. Configure day-7, day-15, day-30 reminders for overdue invoices.
What about WhatsApp marketing?
Easedesk supports transactional WhatsApp only. Marketing/promotional requires opt-in management; we recommend a dedicated tool for that.
