Excellent work but pricey.

What dependencies are there for this module to work?

Does it need an API licence from WhatsApp - any free usage limits from WhatsApp?

A list of settings would be useful.

Re: FrontAccounting WhatsApp module

Thank you for the feedback @apmuthu

This requires Php 8.0 and above

And i used pusher library which requires php 8.0 and above.  Other than that php curl library.  Thats it..

We dont use any node or other js frameworks.

Yes. from Whatsapp side, they are giving 1000 free conversations per account. 
We have to verify the business and phone to get  brand name on whatsapp chat and also green tick.

More than 1000 conversations per month will be charged. they have separate pricing which we can refer from whatsapp business api pricing page.

I have documentation in my product page. there i have the settings information. Other than documentation process and all will be done with reference to the whatsapp documentation, which is easy to follow.

The Pusher Library is nice. WhatsApp now introduced Business API.
https://github.com/pusher/pusher-http-php

WhatsApp's native API too can be used:

These discussions are useful:

Keep up the good work.

Re: FrontAccounting WhatsApp module

Ultramsg is the provider which the user has to signup with them.  But what I have developed is a direct WhatsApp cloud api connecting. Which helps directly connect and send message with  it.  And you can have all your conversation within FA and also a chat feature to chat with the new inquiries and your customer conversations.

If you wish you start developing from scratch. You need to study the WhatsApp  cloud api documentation.  Other than that no other documentation is worth to learn.

@apmuthu  Thank you for your review and suggestion

Disqus is another provider. Looks like we can have a plugin like the exchange rates for such communication providers.

Re: FrontAccounting WhatsApp module

I believe this is an excellent extension. This will definitely  add value to the great work done by FA developers. Keep up the good work.

Re: FrontAccounting WhatsApp module

And what about the WhatsApp Business app produces?

Re: FrontAccounting WhatsApp module

Can i use my Current Business WhatsApp number to send invoice information to my clients.?

do you have demo ?

Re: FrontAccounting WhatsApp module

Either you can use number on WhatsApp cloud or your mobile WhatsApp business account.  But you can't use the same number simultaneously on both cloud api and mobile business WhatsApp app.

2. Demo can be arranged based on independent account.  Kindly visit our website or pm me i will arrange a specific demo for you

Re: FrontAccounting WhatsApp module

Let me ask if I can use my yo whatsapp number to use the business number, because I want to synchronize the same number. People can learn more here: https://modilimitado.com/yowhatsapp

Re: FrontAccounting WhatsApp module

I am not sure what you meant.  But if you are thinking to use the same number on both your mobile and cloud api.  WhatsApp doesnt allow like that. Either you can use that number on cloud api or in your mobile whatsapp..

hope i explained clearly now.
