In LeadSquared: Admin → API & Webhooks → Outbound Webhooks. Create webhook for lead creation and stage change events. Add WA.Expert endpoint URL.

Map LeadSquared fields to WhatsApp

LeadSquared lead fields (mx_Mobile, FirstName, LeadStage, mx_City) map to WA.Expert template variables. The mobile field is usually mx_Mobile or Phone.

Use LeadSquared automation for WhatsApp timing

In LeadSquared Automation Designer: add "Call Webhook" action at specific stages or time delays. This allows multi-step WhatsApp drip sequences without external automation tools.

Configure sector-specific templates

LeadSquared serves education, healthcare, BFSI, and real estate heavily. Create sector-specific WhatsApp templates: course brochures for education leads, policy summaries for insurance leads, site visit booking for real estate leads.

FAQ

LeadSquared + WhatsApp — common questions

Does LeadSquared have a native WhatsApp integration?

LeadSquared has a native WhatsApp integration through LeadSquared's own WhatsApp Business API partnership. WA.Expert provides an alternative that gives more control over template management, broadcast capabilities, and pricing. Both approaches work — choose WA.Expert if you need advanced automation, broadcasts to existing customers, or a more cost-effective per-message rate.

Can LeadSquared's automation designer trigger WhatsApp messages?

Yes — LeadSquared's Automation Designer (available on LeadSquared Professional and above) includes a "Call Webhook" action. This action can call WA.Expert API at any point in the automation sequence — immediately on lead creation, after a time delay, or when a condition is met.

Can I track WhatsApp message opens in LeadSquared?

WhatsApp does not provide open tracking in the same way as email (read receipts via double-tick are not accessible via API). However, WA.Expert logs delivery status (delivered, read where available) and can update LeadSquared lead fields to indicate WhatsApp message delivery.

What LeadSquared plan is needed for webhook integration?

LeadSquared Outbound Webhooks are available on all paid plans (Starter and above). The Automation Designer for multi-step WhatsApp sequences requires LeadSquared Professional or Enterprise.

Can I send WhatsApp broadcasts to LeadSquared segments?

Yes — export LeadSquared segments to WA.Expert's contact list. Run broadcast campaigns to opted-in LeadSquared contacts. This is commonly used for batch follow-up to all leads in a specific stage or inactive leads needing re-engagement.

How is LeadSquared different from Salesforce or HubSpot for Indian businesses?

LeadSquared is built for Indian sales teams in regulated industries (education, healthcare, BFSI) with Indian compliance requirements, WhatsApp-first communication flows, and local customer support. Salesforce and HubSpot are global tools. For Indian companies in LeadSquared's focus sectors, the native fit is significantly better.
