What it is

WhatsApp Business API doesn't send free-form text — by design, every message goes out through a pre-approved template. Inside Flowly, you pick a template, then personalize its variables (a customer's name, an order number) with either a static value or a field straight from your user data. The WhatsApp step lives in the same visual journey editor as every other channel — audiences, segments and behavioral events flow in directly, with no separate integration or CSV import required.

How it works

  1. 01

    Choose an approved template

    WhatsApp Business API only sends pre-approved templates, not free-form text — pick the template that matches your message.

  2. 02

    Personalize the variables

    Map placeholders like customer name or order number to a static value or straight from your user data.

  3. 03

    Drop it into any journey

    Connect the WhatsApp node after a Trigger, a Check Condition, or a Wait step — no separate integration needed.

  4. 04

    Launch and track performance

    Node-level metrics show how this exact WhatsApp step is performing within the journey.

Where it fits in a journey

A WhatsApp step can follow a Trigger, a Check Condition, or a Wait — and every journey must end in a Notification or Action step, so WhatsApp is a valid finish line too.

Comes after

  • Trigger
  • Check Condition
  • Wait
WhatsApp

Can lead to

  • Check Condition
  • Wait
  • End

EXAMPLE — FROM THE DOC

Letting the condition itself define the audience

  1. Any User
  2. Check Condition (profile + behavior)
  3. TRUE branch
  4. WhatsApp
  5. End

No segment has to be pre-built — the condition itself decides who qualifies for the WhatsApp message, evaluated in real time.

Why teams use it

  • One editor, every channel

    WhatsApp sits in the same journey builder as SMS, Push, Email and Bonus actions — no separate tool to learn or maintain.

  • Segment logic you already trust

    Check Condition reuses the exact same filtering logic as B2Metric Segmentation — nothing new to learn.

  • Real-time or scheduled, your call

    Trigger on a live event, or run WhatsApp steps as part of a daily, weekly or monthly recurring journey.

  • Delivered through trusted partners

    WhatsApp sends route through third-party delivery providers — integrations with Infobip and Telesign are underway today.

Built for

Companies with high message volume and behavior-led communication needs get the most out of the WhatsApp channel — especially teams already running push/SMS/WhatsApp/email together in the same journey.

  • E-commerce & retail
  • Gaming, betting & loyalty
  • Fintech
  • Mobile-first apps
