Sending and Receiving WhatsApp Messages
How to send, receive, and manage WhatsApp messages in wrrk.
Sending and Receiving WhatsApp Messages
Once WhatsApp is connected, you can send and receive messages directly from wrrk.
Receiving Messages
Incoming WhatsApp messages appear in two places:
- Unified Inbox: Alongside emails and other channel messages.
- WhatsApp Module: A dedicated view for WhatsApp conversations only.
Each conversation shows the contact name (or phone number if unknown), the latest message, timestamp, and read status.
Sending Messages
From the WhatsApp Module:
- Open a conversation from the list.
- Type your message in the input field at the bottom.
- Press Enter or click Send.
From the CRM:
- Open a contact's profile.
- Click the WhatsApp icon in the Quick Actions section.
- A compose panel opens with the contact's number pre-filled.
Quick Send: You can also use the WhatsApp Quick Send modal from anywhere in wrrk by pressing Ctrl+Shift+W (or Cmd+Shift+W on Mac).
Media Messages
wrrk supports sending and receiving:
- Images (JPG, PNG, GIF)
- Videos (MP4, up to 16 MB)
- Documents (PDF, DOC, XLS, etc.)
- Audio messages
- Contacts and locations
To send media, click the attachment icon in the message input and select a file.
Message Reactions
You can react to any message with an emoji. Hover over a message and click the reaction icon. Reactions from contacts are displayed as overlays on the message bubble.
Read Receipts
Blue double-check marks indicate the recipient has read your message. Single gray check means delivered but not read. wrrk respects WhatsApp's read receipt settings.
Tips
- Use canned responses (Settings > WhatsApp > Canned Responses) for frequently sent messages.
- Enable AI suggestions to get reply recommendations based on conversation context.
- Pin important conversations to the top of the list for quick access.
