WhatsApp

Add WhatsApp as another channel, right alongside SMS

Some recipients check WhatsApp more than they check texts, or use it for everything. SMSEagle sends and receives WhatsApp messages directly, so you can reach them there too.

Whatsapp: Send WhatsApp messages, with SMS as the automatic fallback

Automatic SMS or MMS fallback

If a recipient isn’t registered on WhatsApp, and Fall back to SMS/MMS is turned on, SMSEagle sends the message as SMS or MMS instead.

Text and images, from the web interface, API v2 or Workflows

Send and receive WhatsApp text messages and images (JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP) through the same interfaces you already use for SMS.

Combine channels in Workflows

Route messages between WhatsApp, email, Signal, and SMS/MMS in any direction, with no-code rules.
