Configuration
It is challenging to get a sign-up for ‘WhatsApp for Business’ directly and get access to API as the sign-up process takes too long. Hence, it is better to sign-up for a third-party WhatsApp API service as Chat API. Also, Selenium could be used for free but it is not robust and seems unreliable when it comes to handling large volumes of load.
Hence, you need to sign-up for a Chat API account exclusively on https://bit.ly/3MFXxY0
Once you sign-up, you will get a WhatsApp Instance ID & WhatsApp Token.
Odoo Interface
Step 1: Go to General Settings and Paste the credentials for WhatsApp Instance Id and WhatsApp token copied from WhatsApp Chat API
Step 2: Click on ‘Get QR Code’. Then scan the QR Code from your mobile’s WhatsApp Web.
Step 3: After you scan the QR code from your mobile, your Odoo WhatsApp Helpdesk is authenticated
Step 4: Configuration of bidirectional messages (send & receive messages from WhatsApp in Odoo):
In Odoo, activate the developer mode:
Go to Technical → System Parameters → web.base.url → Copy Value
Chat API Configuration:
In the webhook url field, you need to paste the value (copied from Odoo web.base.url)
After that add:
“/whatsapp/response/message” (for Odoo 15 version)
“/whatsapp/responce/message” (for Odoo versions prior to 15 version)
Step 5: When a customer sends a message on the Whatsapp number that is connected to the helpdesk WhatsApp integration, the system will automatically create a support ticket with Whatsapp chat id for that customer's number.
Step 6: Customer can view the conversation in the description box
