What does the Whapi.Cloud Make integration automate?
The Whapi.Cloud Make integration links the WhatsApp number you manage in Whapi.Cloud to Make, so WhatsApp events can start a scenario (the automation you build in Make) and the scenario can send messages back. Each step is a module, one brick of the scenario, and you set everything up by clicking, not coding.
Reply to incoming calls. Watch New Call fires when someone phones your WhatsApp number, and Send Text Message can follow up with a written answer, handy for a support desk that cannot pick up every call.
Keep a log of group movements. Watch Group Participants reacts when people join or leave a group. A community manager can pass that event to a spreadsheet or a CRM module from another app and keep a record without checking the group by hand.
Send files where a text is not enough. Send Media Message posts a file to a contact, a group chat or your channel, so a sales team can share a brochure as soon as a new conversation opens, picked up by Watch New Conversation.
Some limits are worth knowing before you start. The Make documentation for this app says it was generated with AI from the Whapi.Cloud docs and may contain mistakes, so test every module with Run once. Documents sent as media to a channel are not supported. For anything the listed modules skip, Make an API Call reaches the rest of the Whapi.Cloud API.
If you are still choosing a tool, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the differences, the Make training covers the editor from zero, and Make troubleshooting helps when a run fails.
How do you connect Whapi.Cloud to Make?
- 01
Grab your API key in Whapi.Cloud
You need an active Whapi.Cloud account with a WhatsApp number already linked. In your Whapi.Cloud account, open the device menu, pick the device tied to your number and copy the API key shown in its details.
- 02
Add a Whapi.Cloud module in Make
In your scenario, click the +, search for Whapi.Cloud and pick a module. Click Create a connection. You can type a label in Connection name, useful when you run more than one number.
- 03
Paste the key and save
Paste the API key you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, then save. The connection (your Whapi.Cloud account linked to Make) is now reused by every Whapi.Cloud module you add later.
Your first scenario with Whapi.Cloud
GoalWhen someone calls your WhatsApp number, Make sends that person a text message.
- 01
Create the scenario
From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module on the canvas.
- 02
Set up the call trigger
Search Whapi.Cloud and choose Watch New Call. Click Create a webhook, then Create a connection with your API key, and save the webhook.
- 03
Add the reply
Click the + to the right of the trigger and add Send Text Message. Map the caller from the trigger output into the recipient, then write the message you want people to receive.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once, then call your WhatsApp number from another phone. Open the bubbles to read the bundle, the single item each module received, and check the text arrived.
- 05
Switch it on
Save and switch the scenario on. Because the trigger is instant, Whapi.Cloud calls Make through the webhook on every call; there is no polling interval to set.
What can start a Whapi.Cloud scenario?
4 modules start a scenario when something happens in Whapi.Cloud. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Whapi.Cloud as soon as it happens.
Watch Group Participants
Instant triggerIn Make“Watch Group Participants Actions , like join group or leave group”
You learn right away when someone joins or leaves one of your WhatsApp groups, and the scenario gets that event as a bundle it can pass on to other modules.
Watch Messages
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers for new message events.”
Every new message event on your number becomes a scenario run, so you can sort, log or answer incoming WhatsApp traffic without reading it all by hand.
Watch New Call
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new call is received”
A phone call received on your WhatsApp number starts the scenario, so no caller goes unnoticed even when nobody is free to answer.
Watch New Conversation
Instant triggerIn Make“Trigger called, when new conversation created”
This trigger tells you when a brand-new conversation is created on your number, a clean starting point for welcome flows that should fire once per contact rather than on each message.
What can Make do in Whapi.Cloud?
Whapi.Cloud gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
Reach any endpoint of the Whapi.Cloud API from your scenario, reusing the same connection, when none of the ready-made modules covers what you need.
Send Media Message
ActionIn Make“This method allows you to send media messages to a simple dialog, group chat, or your channel. But in the case of a channel, document - media is currently unsupported”
Post a file to a single contact, a group chat or your WhatsApp channel, so people get the brochure, photo or invoice itself instead of a link.
Send Text Message
ActionIn Make“Sends a Text Message to the specific contact.”
Deliver a written WhatsApp message to a specific contact, with any data from earlier modules dropped into the text, such as a first name or an order status.
