Every contact, straight to WhatsApp.
Send FluentCRM contact notifications straight to your WhatsApp — never miss a lead. The plugin connects FluentCRM to The Tech Pad's WhatsApp Business API platform — official Meta infrastructure, no code required.
Live in ten minutes.
| 1 | Download the plugin — grab the zip below, or from the app once the plugin is live there. |
| 2 | Upload to WordPress — Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → choose the zip → Install → Activate. |
| 3 | Make sure FluentCRM is installed and active — install it from FluentCRM if you haven't yet. |
| 4 | Open The Tech Pad → FluentCRM in your WordPress admin menu — the plugin adds its own row there (The Tech Pad → FluentCRM), with a connection + forms screen. |
| 5 | Connect with your email — no account needed — the settings page prefills your WordPress admin email; click Create my workspace & connect and your free Tech Pad workspace + send key are created instantly (a magic link opens your dashboard). Already have an account? Paste your existing API key instead. |
| 6 | Connect your WhatsApp number (once) — in your dashboard open Numbers and connect the number your messages send from, then click Check again in the plugin — the number ID and your approved templates fill in automatically (Meta approves new templates before the first send). |
| 7 | Send a test message — the button sits on the settings page; check your WhatsApp within seconds. |
| 8 | Enable the tags you want notified — the settings page lists your tags (plus an any-contact row), with per-tag toggles, recipient and template overrides. |
| 9 | Optional: field mapping — map contact fields (name, email, phone, status, source, tags) to template variables in order. |
| 10 | Done. Every new contact and tagged lead pings your WhatsApp. Replies come back into your Tech Pad inbox — campaigns, team inbox and automations included. |
Built for real businesses.
| Instant contact alerts | Every new contact and tagged lead sends a WhatsApp message to you (or any number you choose) — name, email, phone and tags. |
| New and tagged contacts | Alerts fire when a contact is created in FluentCRM and when a contact is added to a tag — so imports and segment changes both notify. |
| Per-tag control | Enable notifications per tag, or switch on the any-contact row so tags created later are covered automatically. |
| Field mapping | Map contact fields (name, email, phone, status, source, tags) to your template variables in {{1}}, {{2}}… order. |
| Test send + delivery log | Verify delivery from the settings page. Every send is logged with status and errors; failed sends retry automatically. |
| Official Meta API | Uses the WhatsApp Business API via The Tech Pad — no unofficial libraries, no click-to-chat links. |
Before you install.
Do I need a The Tech Pad account?
Yes, and it's created for you automatically: on the plugin settings page click "Create my workspace & connect" (your WordPress admin email is prefilled) — the workspace and send key are provisioned instantly. The plugin sends through The Tech Pad's WhatsApp Business API platform; your first 1,000 conversations a month are free on WhatsApp's standard pricing.
Do I need an approved WhatsApp template?
Yes — WhatsApp template messages are required for the first contact with a number. Create your template in The Tech Pad Template hub and wait for Meta approval (usually a few hours). The plugin sends every notification as a template message.
What happens if a message fails to send?
The plugin's delivery log records every attempt with the error. Failed sends retry automatically up to three times, and a Retry button is available on the settings page.
Does this slow down my website?
No. Notifications are queued and sent in the background via WordPress cron — the new contact lands in your CRM instantly.
