<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>A Besked account and API key — sign up at <a href="https://besked.it" rel="nofollow ugc">besked.it</a></li>
<li>WordPress 6.2 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>WooCommerce 5.0+ (optional — required only for order notifications and cart tracking)</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Besked WhatsApp messaging API (provided by Besked.it, https://besked.it) to deliver WhatsApp messages and to manage WhatsApp sessions. Using the plugin therefore requires an active Besked account and an API key, which the site owner enters in the plugin settings.</p>
<p><strong>What the service is and what it is used for</strong></p>
<p>Besked is a third-party WhatsApp messaging gateway. The plugin relies on it to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Send single WhatsApp messages (for example, WooCommerce order status notifications).</li>
<li>Send bulk/broadcast WhatsApp campaigns to contact lists, with optional media attachments.</li>
<li>Retrieve the list of WhatsApp sessions available for the account.</li>
<li>Check the connection status of a WhatsApp session.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What data is sent, and when</strong></p>
<p>The following requests are made to <code>https://app.besked.it</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>POST /api/v1/send</code> — every time a single WhatsApp notification is sent (for example, when a WooCommerce order changes status, or an abandoned cart recovery message is triggered). Data sent: the configured Session ID, the recipient phone number in E.164 format, the message body, and optionally a media URL, media type and file name.</li>
<li><code>POST /api/v1/send/bulk</code> — every time a campaign is dispatched. Data sent: the Session ID, the message template and the recipient list (phone number plus any per-recipient personalisation variables), and optional media.</li>
<li><code>GET /api/v1/sessions</code> — when the site administrator opens the plugin settings page, to display the list of available WhatsApp sessions.</li>
<li><code>GET /api/v1/sessions/{session_id}/status</code> — when the site administrator checks the connection status of a session.</li>
</ul>
<p>Every request includes the API key configured by the site owner, sent as the <code>X-API-Key</code> HTTP header for authentication. No data is sent to Besked for visitors who have not given WhatsApp consent (consent is stored per contact as <code>whatsapp_consent = 1</code>).</p>
<p><strong>Service provider, terms and privacy</strong></p>
<p>The service is provided by Besked.it. For details about how Besked handles the data it receives, please refer to the provider’s legal documents:</p>

Besked Notifications

Send WhatsApp notifications via Besked API. Native WooCommerce integration for order notifications, contact management, and broadcast campaigns.

beepmateio

<p><strong>BeepMate</strong> connects your WordPress site’s forms directly to WhatsApp. Whenever a visitor submits a form on your website, you’ll receive an instant WhatsApp message with their information.</p>
<h3>Key Benefits</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Instant Notifications</strong>: Get form submissions delivered to your WhatsApp in real-time</li>
<li><strong>Better Response Times</strong>: Reply to inquiries directly from your phone, wherever you are</li>
<li><strong>Works With Any Form</strong>: Compatible with all WordPress form plugins that use the mail system</li>
<li><strong>No Complex Setup</strong>: Works automatically with your existing forms</li>
<li><strong>Attachment Support</strong>: Receives files submitted through forms</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>The plugin integrates with WordPress’s email system to capture form submissions and redirect them to WhatsApp using the BeepMate API. It works alongside your existing email notifications, ensuring you never miss an important message.<br />
You do not need to configure SMTP or any mailer settings (unless you want to) – it works even without a mailer.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Works with all WordPress form plugins (Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Ninja Forms, Forminator etc.)</li>
<li>Simple configuration with your BeepMate API key</li>
<li>Multiple API connection methods for compatibility with all hosting environments</li>
<li>Preserves special characters and emoji</li>
<li>Debug mode for troubleshooting</li>
<li>Maintains your existing email workflow</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to BeepMate API (beepmate.io) to send form submission data to WhatsApp.<br />
It sends form submissions including text content and any attachments to the BeepMate service whenever a form is submitted on your site.<br />
This service is provided by BeepMate: <a href="https://beepmate.io/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.0 or higher</li>
<li>A BeepMate account (get your FREE account and FREE API key at <a href="https://beepmate.io" rel="nofollow ugc">beepmate.io</a>)</li>
<li>A WhatsApp account</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to BeepMate API (beepmate.io) to send form submission data to WhatsApp.<br />

<h3>Technical Details</h3>
<h3>How It Works Technically</h3>
<p>BeepMate intercepts WordPress emails at the PHPMailer level, right before they’re sent. When a form is submitted:</p>
<ol>
<li>The plugin hooks into <code>phpmailer_init</code> to capture the email content</li>
<li>It extracts the recipient, subject, message body, and any attachments</li>
<li>The information is formatted for WhatsApp</li>
<li>The plugin connects to the BeepMate API using one of two methods (wp_removew or file_get_contents)</li>
<li>The message is delivered to your configured WhatsApp number</li>
</ol>
<p>All of this happens without modifying your existing forms or email system.</p>
<h3>Configuration Options</h3>
<p><strong>BeepMate API Key</strong>: Your unique API key from BeepMate that authorizes the connection.</p>
<p><strong>User ID</strong>: The phone number (with country code, no spaces or symbols) that will receive the WhatsApp messages.</p>
<p><strong>Redirect All Forms</strong>: When set to “Yes,” all form submissions will be sent to WhatsApp. When “No,” the plugin remains inactive.</p>
<p><strong>API Method</strong>: The technical approach used to connect to the BeepMate API:<br />
– <strong>wp_remote</strong>: The recommended method, works on most servers.<br />
– <strong>file_get_contents</strong>: An alternative if wp_remote is disabled on your server.</p>
<p><strong>Debug Mode</strong>: Enables detailed logging for troubleshooting.</p>
<h3>Debugging</h3>
<p>If you’re experiencing issues with the plugin, you can enable Debug Mode in the settings. This will log detailed information about:<br />
– Form interceptions<br />
– Message preparation<br />
– API calls<br />
– Response codes and errors</p>
<p>Logs can be found in your WordPress debug log (if WP_DEBUG is enabled) or in your server’s PHP error log.</p>
<h3>API Structure</h3>
<p>The plugin uses BeepMate’s API with the following structure:<br />
– For text-only messages: <code>https://beepmate.io/send?key=YOUR_KEY&id=YOUR_ID&msg=MESSAGE</code><br />
– For messages with attachments: A POST request to <code>https://beepmate.io/send</code> with multipart/form-data</p>
<h3>Security Considerations</h3>
<p>The plugin:<br />
– Sanitizes all user input<br />
– Uses WordPress nonces for form submissions<br />
– Checks user capabilities before allowing settings changes<br />
– Hides the API key in logs<br />
– Properly escapes all output</p>
<h3>Extending the Plugin</h3>
<p>Developers can hook into the plugin’s functionality using these functions:<br />
– <code>beepmate_whatsapp_forms_prepare_message</code>: Formats message content for WhatsApp<br />
– <code>beepmate_whatsapp_forms_send_to_beepmate</code>: Handles the API connection<br />
– <code>beepmate_whatsapp_forms_debug</code>: Controls debug logging</p>
<h3>Known Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Currently supports sending to a single WhatsApp number</li>
<li>Depends on the standard WordPress email system being used by forms</li>
<li>Some form plugins that implement custom email sending may not be compatible</li>
</ul>
