Install the plugin and paste your API key. Select your default WhatsApp instance. Enable the automations you want and customize your message templates. That’s it — msgflash handles the rest automatically. Requirements WordPress 5.8 or higher PHP 7.4 or higher WooCommerce 5.0 or higher An active MsgFlash account with at least one connected WhatsApp instance Important Notes The plugin requires a valid MsgFlash API key (msgf_live_...). You must have at least one connected WhatsApp instance in your MsgFlash account. 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.
