Send Automated WhatsApp Notifications from Email

Why Connect Email to WhatsApp?

Email is great for detailed info, but WhatsApp is unbeatable for urgent alerts. Most people check WhatsApp instantly, while emails can sit unread for hours.

Connecting Email to WhatsApp allows you to:

1. Get Instant Alerts: Receive critical server warnings or security notifications on your phone.
2. Team Communication: Forward client emails to a team WhatsApp group automatically.
3. Order Updates: Notify customers about shipping updates via their preferred app.

How to Set It Up with MailHook

You don't need complex APIs to start sending WhatsApp messages from email.

1. Create a MailHook Endpoint: Get your unique email address from MailHook.
2. Connect a WhatsApp Provider: Use a service like Twilio API or a dedicated WhatsApp Business API provider that accepts webhooks.
3. Configure the Rule: Set MailHook to forward the JSON payload of incoming emails to your WhatsApp provider's webhook.

Alternatively, you can write a simple script that listens to the MailHook webhook and uses a library like whatsapp-web.js or the official Cloud API to send the message.

Example Workflow: Server Down Alert

• Trigger: Server monitoring tool (e.g., UptimeRobot) detects downtime and sends an email alert.
• MailHook: Receives the email, parses the subject line "CRITICAL: Server Down".
• Action: MailHook triggers a webhook to your bot.
• Result: Your DevOps team gets a WhatsApp message: "🚨 Server Down! Checks failed."

Stay connected to your most important emails, wherever you are.
