Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
msgflash – Messaging Automation for WooCommerce is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

The plugin requires a valid MsgFlash API key (msgf_live_...).

Phone numbers should be valid and in international format for reliable delivery.
External services This plugin connects to the MsgFlash API, provided by MsgFlash, to send WhatsApp messages and retrieve WhatsApp instance information for your WooCommerce store.
The MsgFlash API is required for the plugin to work. It is used to test the API connection, fetch the WhatsApp instances connected to your MsgFlash account, and send configured WooCommerce messages such as order confirmations, shipping notifications, abandoned cart recovery messages, and test messages.
The plugin may send the following data to the MsgFlash API when an enabled automation runs or when the store administrator tests the connection or sends a test message:
MsgFlash API key configured by the site administrator
WooCommerce order information required to build the message, such as order ID, order status, order total, billing first name, billing phone number, shipping method, tracking URL if configured, and related message template variables
Customer phone number used as the WhatsApp recipient
Message content generated from the configured template
Selected MsgFlash WhatsApp instance identifier
Store/plugin metadata required for API processing and troubleshooting
This data is sent only when the plugin needs to communicate with the MsgFlash API, for example when testing the connection, retrieving available instances, sending a test message, or sending an enabled WooCommerce notification.
