The problem

The WhatsApp problem every Community team hits

WhatsApp in Odoo usually means Enterprise

Native WhatsApp sending has been an Enterprise feature, so Community users are left without a way to message customers from inside Odoo.

No delivery visibility

Numbers get exported to a separate third-party tool, so there is no per-record tracking of what was sent, delivered or read.

Opt-out compliance is manual

STOP requests are tracked by hand on spreadsheets, which is slow, error prone and risky when a customer asks to be left alone.

What this module does

WhatsApp Business for Odoo Community integrates the WhatsApp Business Cloud API into Odoo, so you can send approved WhatsApp template messages straight from your records without an Enterprise subscription. Configure one or more WhatsApp Business accounts, sync your approved templates from Meta or manage them in Odoo, and send a template to any record from the composer.

Every message runs through a full state machine, from outgoing to sent, delivered, read, replied, error and bounced, and a secure signed webhook updates delivery and read status automatically. Inbound STOP and UNSUBSCRIBE replies opt the number out and add it to Odoo's phone blacklist. This is the Community foundation that other CODEerts WhatsApp apps build on.

๐Ÿ”—
Accounts and Templates

Configure your WhatsApp Business accounts with the Meta app, phone number id, WABA id and token, then sync approved templates from Meta or manage the body, header, buttons and variables in Odoo.

๐Ÿ’ฌ
Send From Any Record

Open the composer on any record and send a template; variables resolve per recipient. A background send queue and a scheduled job handle larger batches for you.

๐Ÿ“Š
Real Delivery Status

A full state machine covers outgoing, sent, delivered, read, replied, error and bounced. A secure signed webhook updates each message, and STOP replies opt numbers out automatically.

Everything in the box

โš™๏ธ Account Configuration

Set up one or more WhatsApp Business accounts with the Meta app id and secret, phone number id, WABA id and a system-user access token. A Test Credentials button verifies the setup, and sensitive fields stay admin-only.

๐Ÿ“ Template Sync and Management

Sync approved message templates from Meta, or manage the body, header, buttons and variables inside Odoo. Templates carry field-mapped and free-text variables that fill per recipient.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Send From Any Record

A composer sends a template to any record, resolving each variable per recipient before the message goes out.

๐Ÿ•’ Send Queue and Cron

A background send queue and a scheduled job handle larger batches, so a big send does not block your work.

๐Ÿ”„ Full Message State Machine

Every message tracks its state through outgoing, sent, delivered, read, replied, error and bounced.

๐Ÿ” Secure Signed Webhook

A secure signed status webhook receives callbacks from Meta and updates delivery and read status on each message automatically.

๐Ÿ›‘ Opt-Out and STOP

Inbound STOP and UNSUBSCRIBE replies opt the number out and add it to Odoo's phone blacklist, so it is excluded from future sends.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Phone Validation

Phone numbers are validated and sanitized through the phonenumbers library before they are used.

๐Ÿข Multi-Company and Security

Multi-company support with a two-tier User and Admin security model keeps configuration and sending scoped and controlled.

๐Ÿงฑ Open Foundation

A free, LGPL-3 Community foundation that other CODEerts WhatsApp apps, such as WhatsApp Marketing for Community, build on top of.

How it works

1
Connect a WhatsApp Business account

Add the Meta app, phone number id, WABA id and system-user token, set the webhook callback and verify token in Meta, and confirm it with the Test Credentials button.

2
Sync or build approved templates

Pull your approved templates from Meta, or manage the body, header, buttons and variables directly inside Odoo.

3
Send a template from any record

Open the composer on a record and send a template; each variable resolves per recipient before the message leaves.

4
Larger batches go through the queue

A background send queue and a scheduled job take care of bigger sends, so nothing blocks while messages go out.

5
Status updates automatically

Delivery, read and reply status update on each message through the signed webhook, and STOP replies opt numbers out for you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use WhatsApp in Odoo Community without Enterprise?

Yes. This app talks directly to the WhatsApp Business Cloud API, so you can send approved template messages from Odoo Community with no Enterprise subscription.

How do I connect Odoo to the WhatsApp Business Cloud API?

Create a WhatsApp Business account record with your Meta app id and secret, phone number id, WABA id and a system-user token, then set the generated callback URL and verify token in Meta. A test-connection button confirms it is working.

How does the module track delivery and read status?

Each message runs through a state machine from outgoing to sent, delivered, read and replied. A secure signed webhook receives callbacks from Meta and updates every message automatically.

Does it handle opt-out and STOP replies?

Yes. When a recipient replies STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE, the module opts the number out and adds it to Odoo's phone blacklist, so it is excluded from future sends.

Do I need an approved WhatsApp template to send?

Yes. WhatsApp requires business-initiated messages to use pre-approved templates. You can sync your approved templates from Meta or create them in Odoo.
