<p><strong>msgflash</strong> connects your WooCommerce store to WhatsApp, enabling automated, real-time customer messaging without manual effort.</p>
<p>Whether you run a boutique or a high-volume store, msgflash keeps your customers informed and engaged through the channel they use every day.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Order Confirmations</strong> – Automatically send a WhatsApp message when a customer places an order.</li>
<li><strong>Shipping Notifications</strong> – Notify customers the moment their order status changes to completed/shipped.</li>
<li><strong>Abandoned Cart Recovery</strong> – Send reminders to customers who left items in their cart without completing their purchase.</li>
<li><strong>Customizable Templates</strong> – Personalize every message with variables like <code>{first_name}</code>, <code>{order_id}</code>, <code>{order_total}</code>, and more.</li>

<h4>How It Works</h4>

<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>WooCommerce 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>An active MsgFlash account with at least one connected WhatsApp instance</li>
</ul>
<h4>Important Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>The plugin requires a valid MsgFlash API key (<code>msgf_live_...</code>).</li>
<li>You must have at least one connected WhatsApp instance in your MsgFlash account.</li>
<li>Phone numbers should be valid and in international format for reliable delivery.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the MsgFlash API, provided by MsgFlash, to send WhatsApp messages and retrieve WhatsApp instance information for your WooCommerce store.</p>
<p>The MsgFlash API is required for the plugin to work. It is used to test the API connection, fetch the WhatsApp instances connected to your MsgFlash account, and send configured WooCommerce messages such as order confirmations, shipping notifications, abandoned cart recovery messages, and test messages.</p>
<p>The plugin may send the following data to the MsgFlash API when an enabled automation runs or when the store administrator tests the connection or sends a test message:</p>
<ul>
<li>MsgFlash API key configured by the site administrator</li>
<li>WooCommerce order information required to build the message, such as order ID, order status, order total, billing first name, billing phone number, shipping method, tracking URL if configured, and related message template variables</li>
<li>Customer phone number used as the WhatsApp recipient</li>
<li>Message content generated from the configured template</li>
<li>Selected MsgFlash WhatsApp instance identifier</li>
<li>Store/plugin metadata required for API processing and troubleshooting</li>
</ul>
<p>This data is sent only when the plugin needs to communicate with the MsgFlash API, for example when testing the connection, retrieving available instances, sending a test message, or sending an enabled WooCommerce notification.</p>

Code Machine

<h4>Purpose</h4>
<p>Detect WordPress Plugins ‘Fatal Errors’ that might block/prevent site admins from accessing WordPress admin interface in order to deactivate the Plugin that caused the issue! UBP then report/notify (sedning email) site admin with a secure link that valid for 24 hours from which site admin can deactivate the target Plugin by simply clicking the link!</p>
<p>For development state and issue tracking follow the Plugin on <a href="https://github.com/xpointer/ubp" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub Respository</a></p>
<h4>Mechanism</h4>
<p>The mechanism of the Plugin is to always put itself as the first Plugin to be executed by WordPress Plugins system! The Plugin then just stay away and never get itself involved until the execution of all the other scripts is then terminated! UBP Plugin role is comes when the script is terminated. It then check if the script is terminated with error. If the script if terminated with error UBP send admin mail with backup link that has a secure key by which UBP give the link owner the permission to disable the target Plugin.</p>
<h4>Advantages</h4>
<ul>
<li>There is no need to access throught FTP to force WordPress deactivate the Plugin. You can always use this Plugin to deactivate the target Plugin only with the link sent with the mail.</li>
<li>Load minimum codes/scripts that required only to get involved (listen to errors). Load code required to functional only when error detcted.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>Whenever you active or deactive a Plugin, UBP will always put itself as the first Plugin in WordPress active Plugins queue.</li>
<li>The Plugin won’t install itself while the site is already blocked by the error.</li>
<li>UBP must be installed first while the site is fully functional and then it’ll help you backing up your site if any newly Plugin produced an error.</li>
<li>It Won’t help you on all type of errors you’ve in your WordPress site however it can always give you the chance to get your site functional again after installing any Plugin that prevent you from accessing your backend.</li>
<li>It has no admin user interface and therefor not configurable, however next versions will do.</li>
<li>Send admin mail whatever ‘fatal errors’ is detected and it doesn’t matter if this error blocked your site or not. It’ll also report fatal errors that might happened in a secondary request that doesn’t block you from deacivating the Plugin yourself.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Proof Of Concept</h4>
<p>I still have many useful ideas and feature to add to the Plugin however the Plugin need users reviews to proof that its really helping and its really need to be improved.</p>


Uninterrupted Backup

Detect fatal errors that might be produced by the installed active Plugins, provide secure backdoor for deactivating the target Plugin.
