Slack Integration

What It Does

• Run /wa send name: message in Slack to send a WhatsApp message to a contact by name.
• The send goes through your normal WA Orbit sending pipeline — your connected number/engine, pacing, logging — exactly like sending from the app.

How to Set It Up

1. In WA Orbit, open Integrations and choose Slack.
2. Create a Slack app in your Slack workspace (api.slack.com), add a Slash Command, and point its Request URL at the WA Orbit Slack command endpoint shown on the integration page.
3. Copy your Slack app's Signing Secret into the WA Orbit Slack integration settings so requests can be verified.
4. Install the app to your Slack workspace and try /wa send John: Hi there in any channel.

How It's Secured

Good to Know

• The contact name in the command is matched against your WA Orbit contacts. If there is no match, Slack shows an error reply.
• Availability of the integration can depend on your plan.
• Looking to receive events out of WA Orbit into your own systems instead? Use the Webhook integration.
