WaSMS + Zapier

Example automations

Send a message from a Zap

Something happens in another app, and WaSMS sends the message.

1. 1

   Create an API key

   In your WaSMS dashboard, open API keys and create a key. How to create a key
2. 2

   Add a Webhooks by Zapier action

   In your Zap, add the action Webhooks by Zapier and choose Custom Request. Set the method to POST and the address to:

   AddressCopy

   https://wasms.net/api/public/v1/whatsapp/send

   Add these two headers, with your own key in place of YOUR_WASMS_API_KEY:

   HeadersCopy

   Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WASMS_API_KEY
   Content-Type: application/json

   Put this in the data box, then swap the number and the text for fields from your trigger. The number has the country code first, digits only.

   DataCopy

   {
     "to": "923001234567",
     "message": "Thanks for booking. See you soon."
   }

3. 3

   Test with your own number

   Run the test step in Zapier with your own phone number. The reply says whether the message was sent and, if not, why. What each reply means. SMS, email and contacts work the same way with their own addresses, listed in the API reference.

Start a Zap from WaSMS

Something happens in WaSMS, and Zapier carries it to another app.

1. 1

   Add a Catch Hook trigger

   In a new Zap, choose the trigger Webhooks by Zapier, then Catch Hook. Zapier gives you an address. Copy it.
2. 2

   Add that address in WaSMS

   In your WaSMS dashboard, open Developers, Webhooks, add the address from Zapier, and choose what should start the Zap: a message received, a message sent, a message status change, a lead form submitted, or a campaign completed. Webhooks guide
3. 3

   Send a test and finish the Zap

   Send a WhatsApp message to your connected number. Zapier shows what arrived, and you can use those fields in the next steps of the Zap. Keep the Zapier address private: anyone who has it can start your Zap.
