External Services

This plugin connects to the Meta (Facebook) Graph API to deliver WhatsApp Business messages and to manage message templates. No data is sent to any service provided by Array.codes or any other third party beyond Meta.

Meta (Facebook) Graph API

What it is: The official Meta Graph API (graph.facebook.com) is the interface used to communicate with the WhatsApp Business Platform. The plugin uses the store owner’s own Meta App credentials (provided during setup) to authenticate all requests.

When and what data is sent:

• When a new WooCommerce order is placed — the customer’s WhatsApp phone number, the order ID, and the configured message template name are sent to Meta to trigger a notification to the customer and/or seller.
• When the store admin loads or saves message template settings — template names and language codes are fetched from or submitted to the Meta Business account.
• When the store admin uses the debug/connection tools — the configured Access Token is sent to Meta to verify its validity.
• When a WhatsApp message is received — Meta sends a webhook payload to your site containing the sender’s phone number and message content; no data is sent outbound at that moment.
