WhatsAppPro and up
What you can do on WhatsApp
WhatsApp works in two ways on Menuthere. On every plan, customers can send their order to your WhatsApp number. On Pro you connect your own WhatsApp Business number, and Menuthere sends order updates, reminders and offers from it, plus a bot you build yourself.
Everything for the Pro side lives in one place, Sales channel → WhatsApp. Once a number is connected, that screen shows your number, how many automation flows are on, and a list of the tools below.
- Where
- Sales channel → WhatsApp
- Plan
- Sending an order to your WhatsApp works on every plan. Your own number, flows, broadcasts and the rest start on Pro.
- Updated
How it fits together
A customer messages your number, a flow answers with a link to your menu, and as the order moves through your dashboard the customer gets an update at each step.
