Setup Guide

How to connect Monday.com to WhatsApp API

Use Monday.com native automations

In Monday.com: Automations → Create Custom Automation. Trigger: "When status changes" or "When date arrives." Action: "Send Webhook." Enter WA.Expert endpoint URL.

Configure the webhook payload

In the Monday.com webhook action, configure the JSON payload with board item fields: item name, status, assignee, due date, and the contact's phone number from a Phone column in your board.

Add a Phone column to your Monday board

Add a "Phone" column to your Monday.com board for the relevant contacts. This is where team member or client phone numbers are stored. Monday.com webhook can reference this column directly.

Set up client notification automations

For client-facing boards: create automations that fire when client-visible status changes (e.g., "Ready for Review", "Delivered"). Map the Client Phone column to WA.Expert and send the WhatsApp from your company number.

Configure conditional logic

Use Monday.com automation conditions to filter: only send WhatsApp for items in specific groups (High Priority group), specific statuses (not "Backlog"), or when column values meet criteria (budget > ₹1,00,000).

Sample Monday.com → WhatsApp configuration

// Monday.com automation webhook → WA.Expert
// Trigger: Status changes to "Done"
// Condition: Group = "Client Projects"

// Webhook payload (Monday.com variable syntax):
{
  "to": "{{client_phone.text}}",
  "template": "monday_deliverable_ready",
  "variables": {
    "item_name": "{{item.name}}",
    "board_name": "{{board.name}}",
    "due_date": "{{date_column.text}}"
  }
}

WA.Expert handles WhatsApp API authentication, template approval, and delivery. You pass trigger data from Monday.com — no WhatsApp API expertise needed.

How do I store client phone numbers in Monday.com for WhatsApp?

Does Monday.com + WhatsApp work for HR and recruitment boards?

A single Monday.com automation can send one WhatsApp per trigger event. For multiple recipients (e.g., all board members), create separate automation rules or use a Make/Zapier integration that can iterate over a list.
