Frequently Asked Questions about The Events Calendar + WhatsApp Notifications integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with The Events Calendar and WhatsApp Notifications
What is required to integrate The Events Calendar with WhatsApp Notifications?
To integrate The Events Calendar with WhatsApp Notifications, you will need a Zapier account, an active setup of The Events Calendar plugin, and a WhatsApp Business API account. You’ll also need to set up triggers and actions such as 'New Event' in The Events Calendar and 'Send Message' for WhatsApp Notifications.
How do I set up a trigger for new events in The Events Calendar?
You can set up a trigger for new events by connecting your The Events Calendar account with Zapier. Choose the 'New Event' trigger so that anytime an event is created, it gets detected for further actions like sending notifications through WhatsApp.
Can I customize the message sent via WhatsApp when an event is created?
Yes, you can customize the WhatsApp message. When configuring your action on Zapier, you have options to use dynamic content from your events like event name, date, or location to personalize the message sent whenever a new event is created.
Is it possible to send notifications for updated or canceled events?
Certainly! While setting up your automation on Zapier, choose triggers like 'Event Updated' or 'Event Canceled.' This allows you to send specific updates or cancellation messages through WhatsApp.
What do I do if my users are not receiving notifications on their WhatsApp after setting up the integration?
First, verify that all steps in creating Zaps are correctly configured: triggers are selecting the correct calendar actions (like New Event), and actions point accurately to sending messages via WhatsApp. Check network connections and ensure that your WhatsApp Business API is active.
How often can notifications be sent through this integration?
Notifications are triggered based on actions taken within The Events Calendar. For instance, if multiple events are added or updated consecutively, each action triggers its separate notification depending upon how frequently those changes occur.
Does this integration support recurring events and reminders?
Yes, our integration supports recurring events. You can set specific triggers for reminders ahead of each occurrence of a recurring event using Zapier’s functionality to automate reminders via WhatsApp notifications.
