eGrow supports two ways to connect WhatsApp:
1. Coexistence (scan a QR code and keep the WhatsApp Business app). This method is official and completely legal. However, it comes with the app's own limits and known troubles — WhatsApp may block sending when you message many customers, campaigns are restricted, and disconnections are more frequent.
2. Recommended — a dedicated number without the WhatsApp app. Connect a number that is NOT installed in any WhatsApp app directly to eGrow, and answer & receive all messages from eGrow Web and the eGrow mobile app. This is the most stable method for automations, campaigns and high message volumes, and it is what we always advise.
If you manage multiple stores in eGrow, you can automate WhatsApp messages for each store separately — ensuring that orders from each store are sent using the right WhatsApp Business number.
This guide shows you how to set up store-based WhatsApp automations that send a message automatically after a new order is placed.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Go to Automation Builder
From your eGrow dashboard, navigate to:
Automation → New Automation
2. Set the Trigger
In the Trigger section, select:
Order → Order created
This ensures that the automation runs whenever a new order is placed on any of your stores.
3. Add Conditions for Each Store
Since you have multiple stores, you’ll create a separate condition for each store domain so that each one triggers its own WhatsApp number and message.
For example:
Condition 1
-
Source → Is → your first store domain (as shown in Orders > Source)
-
Action → WhatsApp Message → Send WhatsApp Message (Template)
-
Select the WhatsApp account linked to that store.
-
Choose the approved WhatsApp template for that store.
-
Map variables (e.g.,
{{1}}= contact_name,{{2}}= order_products, etc.).
-
Condition 2
-
Source → Is → your second store domain (as shown in Orders > Source)
-
Action → WhatsApp Message → Send WhatsApp Message (Template)
-
Select the WhatsApp account linked to the second store.
-
Choose its corresponding WhatsApp template.
-
Map variables accordingly.
-
👉 Repeat this setup for as many stores as you have — each store having its own condition and linked WhatsApp number.
4. Save the Automation
Give your automation a clear name such as:
“Multi-Store – Send Order Confirmation WhatsApp Messages”
Set the automation status to Active.
Once activated, eGrow will automatically send the correct WhatsApp template message based on the order’s source (store domain).
⚙️ Important Notes
-
Make sure each WhatsApp number is correctly linked to your eGrow account.
-
Only use approved WhatsApp templates for outbound messages.
-
Ensure your customers have opted in to receive WhatsApp communication.
-
You can test each condition by placing a test order from each store.
-
