Pabbly Connect WhatsApp integration: send WappBlaster text, images, documents and video
A Pabbly Connect WhatsApp integration lets an automation built in Pabbly deliver chat messages and files to customers the moment another app records an event. Send WhatsApp text, images, documents and video from any Pabbly Connect workflow. Popular with Indian teams because Pabbly's lifetime pricing avoids the per-task subscription that makes Zapier expensive at volume.
Pabbly connect WhatsApp integration in brief
Pabbly Connect WhatsApp integration with WappBlaster is built for businesses that need files, not just text, delivered when an event fires in another app. A Pabbly workflow adds an API or webhook action aimed at the WappBlaster send endpoint, and that single step can carry plain text, an image with a caption, a PDF or other document, or a video, all sent over Meta's official WhatsApp Business API. Media is passed as a public URL or uploaded through the file API beforehand. A message that opens a conversation must use a media template whose header type matches the file, though inside a 24-hour service window attachments can go out free-form. Common jobs include invoice PDFs from a billing tool, receipts once a payment clears, and course videos on enrolment. Because Pabbly sells lifetime plans with unlimited internal tasks, Indian SMBs avoid per-run bills, and setup takes about 30 minutes across four steps.
