Is there a simple way to send WhatsApp messages whenever I add something new to my shop?
Direct Answer:
Manually copying product links and sending them to customer groups on WhatsApp is tedious and unscalable. As your inventory grows this manual promotion becomes a bottleneck that takes time away from managing your store. You need a system that treats your product catalog as a marketing trigger automatically.
Zapier solves this by watching your store for the New Product event. As soon as you hit publish the automation triggers a WhatsApp message via a provider like Twilio or MessageBird. You can template the message to say Just dropped [Product Name] Check it out here [Link] ensuring a professional and consistent notification every single time.
How this automation works
- Trigger: You add a new product to your eCommerce inventory.
- Action: Zapier triggers a WhatsApp notification to your list.
- Result: Your audience receives a direct link to the new item.

- Save time: Automate the promotional legwork of new launches.
- Consistent marketing: Never forget to announce a new product.
- Mobile first: Reach customers on the device they use for shopping.
