Sending Whatsapp Messages

Whatsapp messages can be sent to customers for various events that occur on Nector. For example: When a customer is rewarded with some wallet coins, you can send a whatsapp message via Spur.

The first step is to create a whatsapp template in Spur and then create the corresponding event in Nector dashboard.

Go to the Spur Integration Page.

Switch to the Events tab and click on Create An Event. It opens up to the Events page with the Send Events tab. Now you have to select the event on which you want to notify the external integration.

There are many events supported on Nector. If you don't know which to choose, here are the two events that are most relevant and commonly used:

Wallet Coins Rewarded: This event will be sent whenever wallet coins are rewarded on nector.
Coupon Is Created: This event will be sent whenever a customer uses his wallet coins to get a discount/coupon code on nector.

For example,

To send an Wallet Reward Event to Spur whenever wallet coins are rewarded to a customer on nector, you would create the event as shown below.

Click on "+" button to create an event.

A popup opens, enter the mobile number where you want to send the test message.
