Sendy — Product & Developer Documentation
Welcome to the official technical documentation for Sendy, the multi-channel enterprise messaging gateway and marketing automation platform built on Meta's Official WhatsApp Business Cloud API.
The WhatsApp Engagement Advantage
While traditional email commands less than a 20% open rate and SMS messages are frequently blocked by carrier filters, WhatsApp delivers an industry-leading 98% open rate and a 45–60% click-through rate. Sendy connects your business directly to Meta Cloud API without intermediary markups, ensuring sub-second delivery receipts and zero account ban risks.
Direct Meta API
Native v25.0 Graph API connection with verified Green-Tick eligibility and zero third-party scrapers.
Visual Drip Funnels
Multi-step drag-and-drop nurture sequences with live Blue Tick delivery receipts.
Shared Multi-Agent Inbox
One official number distributed evenly across support agents with automated Round-Robin routing.
1-Tap CTWA Ads
Bridge Instagram and Facebook ads directly into high-converting 1-tap WhatsApp conversations.
2. Pricing & Wallet Architecture
Sendy operates on a transparent 2-Component Commercial Model:
Software Platform Subscription
Covers software access, visual drip builders, shared team live chat seats, CRM pipelines, and bot automations. Billed monthly or annually with no locked-in contracts.
Direct Meta Conversation Wallet
Maintained as a prepaid balance. Unlike aggregators charging a 20–30% hidden markup per message, Sendy charges Zero Intermediary Markup. Official Meta conversation rates are deducted transparently.
Official Meta Conversation Categories
- Marketing: Outbound promotions, offers, product drops, and re-engagement campaigns.
- Utility: Order receipts, payment confirmations, appointment reminders, and shipping updates.
- Authentication: Time-sensitive one-time passcodes (OTP) for customer login and verification.
- Service (Customer-Initiated): Inbound customer support inquiries (24-hour service window).
- Click-to-WhatsApp Ads (CTWA): 72-Hour FREE messaging window provided directly by Meta when users click your ad!
3. WhatsApp Integration & Setup
Connecting to WhatsApp on Sendy requires no unauthorized web-scraping plugins or physical phone pairing. Integration is completed via Meta's Official Embedded Signup in under 2 minutes:
Launch Meta Embedded Signup
Click "Connect WhatsApp" in Sendy Onboarding to launch the official Meta Facebook JavaScript SDK popup.
Link Business Manager & Phone Number
Log into your Facebook Business Manager and select or register your 10-digit business phone number (must be deregistered from personal WhatsApp).
Automated Webhook & Token Sync
Sendy automatically secures the WABA ID, Phone Number ID, and system access tokens, securely encrypting them in AES-256-CTR with zero manual copying.
Phone Number Quality Rating & Daily Limits
Meta assigns a live Quality Score to each registered WhatsApp line: GREEN (High), YELLOW (Medium), or RED (Low). As your broadcast engagement remains high, Meta automatically upgrades your daily tier limit:
1,000 users / 24h
10,000 users / 24h
100,000 users / 24h
Unlimited Messaging
4. Message Templates & Meta AI Review Lifecycle
Meta requires all business-initiated outreach sent outside the 24-hour service window to use pre-approved message templates. Sendy provides a complete visual template designer and automated approval engine:
Mandatory Variable Sample Validation (`body_variables_sample`)
Meta's automated NLP compliance will instantly reject any template containing parameters like {{1}} or {{2}} if realistic sample values are omitted. As you type variables in Sendy Studio, sample input fields are automatically generated and previewed live on an interactive smartphone simulator before submission.
1-Click Bi-Directional Sync with Meta
Clicking "Sync with Meta" queries Meta Graph API directly, automatically syncing newly approved templates, status changes, and deletion events between Meta Business Manager and your Sendy workspace.
5. Broadcasts, A/B Variant Testing & Fatigue Auto-Healer
Sendy's Broadcast Engine allows marketing teams to blast personalized campaigns to hundreds of thousands of recipients via dynamic CRM tags or CSV spreadsheets with real-time column mapping.
A/B Variant Split Testing Engine
Eliminate guesswork by testing different messaging angles, discount offers, or media creative (static image vs dynamic video). The engine automatically shuffles the audience and distributes contacts evenly across Variant A (50%) and Variant B (50%) with zero bias.
💡 Real-World Example: D2C Footwear Weekend Flash Sale (10,000 Contacts)
| Metric / Attribute | Variant A (Direct Discount) | Variant B (VIP Video Scarcity) |
|---|---|---|
| Media Header | Static Shoe Catalog Photo | 6-Second Video Reel |
| Message Hook | "Flat 30% OFF this weekend" | "Only 45 pairs left in your size" |
| Audience Split | 5,000 Contacts (50%) | 5,000 Contacts (50%) |
| Read Rate (Blue Ticks) | 81.0% (3,960) | 91.0% (4,468) |
| Click-Through Rate (CTR) | 25.0% (990 clicks) | 41.0% (1,832 clicks) 🏆 |
| Sales Closed | 148 Orders (₹2,96,000) | 312 Orders (₹6,24,000) [+110% Uplift] |
Smart Meta Fatigue Auto-Healer
Meta restricts how many marketing messages a user can receive across all businesses in a 24-hour cycle. When competing brands message users first, Meta rejects new broadcasts with Error 131049: Message undeliverable due to fatigue limits.
How Sendy Auto-Heals Failed Contacts
Instead of permanently dropping those contacts, enabling the Auto-Healer toggle automatically intercepts Error 131049 and queues failed contacts for a scheduled retry at 10:00 AM the following morning—the exact moment Meta resets daily fatigue windows.
Example Festive Impact: On a 20,000-contact Diwali campaign where 3,200 contacts hit Meta's fatigue limit, the Auto-Healer recovered 3,088 contacts (96.5% recovery rate) the next morning, generating an additional ₹4,62,500 ($5,550) in revenue with zero manual re-uploads.
6. Visual Drip Sequences & Marketing Automation
Instead of sending isolated one-off blasts, Sendy's Drip Sequences engine powers automated, multi-step customer journeys on WhatsApp:
Trigger Node
Entry condition: Tag added, Meta ad clicked, form submitted, or manual bulk enrollment.
Delay Node
Configurable pause (e.g. wait 30 minutes, 24 hours, or 3 days) between sequence steps.
Template Node
Delivers personalized WhatsApp templates with dynamic variables and interactive CTA buttons.
Bulk Multi-Customer Enrollment & Real-Time Delivery Receipts
Marketers can enroll thousands of contacts simultaneously by tag, whole database, or table checkbox selection. Clicking "Delivery History" displays a live audit timeline with official WhatsApp delivery receipts:
7. Conversational Bots & External API Node (`ApiNode`)
Sendy's Visual Flow Builder allows teams to build intelligent decision trees. The External API Request Node (`ApiNode`) enables real-time data lookups directly inside WhatsApp conversations:
Real-Time System Querying (`GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`)
When a customer asks "Where is my package?" or "What is my EMI balance?", the ApiNode fires a live HTTP request to your Shopify store, ERP, custom CRM, or database:
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...
In-Studio API Runner
Click "Test API & Discover Variables" to verify HTTP status codes and millisecond response latency inside the canvas.
Automatic JSON Flattening
Nested responses automatically become reusable tokens like {{api_data.tracking_id}}.
Multi-LLM AI Formatting
Toggle "Format with AI" to let GPT-4o or Gemini turn raw JSON into warm conversational sentences.
8. Multi-Agent Live Chat & Automated Round-Robin
When inquiries require personal sales guidance or support escalations, Sendy transitions chats to a unified multi-agent workspace:
Automated Round-Robin Routing
Equally distributes incoming conversations across online agents. Includes Sticky Agent Routing so repeat buyers are automatically re-assigned to the agent who served them previously.
Canned Replies (`/shortcut`)
Agents type / to immediately pop up pre-approved responses (e.g., /pricing, /bank-details, /hours), slashing response times from hours to under 30 seconds.
Private Internal Team Notes
Team members can leave internal notes directly inside the customer chat timeline. Notes are highlighted in amber and invisible to the customer, ensuring complete context when re-assigning leads.
9. Meta Ads & Click-to-WhatsApp (CTWA) Suite
Eliminate high drop-off rates on slow web forms. Sendy's Meta Ads Suite launches Click-to-WhatsApp (CTWA) campaigns directly inside the platform:
4-Step CTWA Campaign Creation Wizard
- Budget & Account: Select your Meta Ad Account (
act_...) and daily spend. - Targeting & Placements: Filter geography, age, and search Meta's live interest database via Sendy's Interest Search Proxy.
- Media Upload & Hash: Upload creatives; Sendy generates official Meta
image_hashtokens automatically with dual Instagram/Facebook previews. - Pre-Filled Message & Auto-Responder: Configure the message pre-filled in the buyer's WhatsApp bar and assign a template to trigger automatically upon click.
The 72-Hour Free Conversation Benefit
Whenever a customer initiates a WhatsApp conversation by clicking a Meta CTWA ad, Meta grants a 72-hour completely free messaging window. All business replies and follow-ups within these 3 days incur zero conversation fees.
10. Autonomous Multi-LLM AI Suite
Sendy provides a Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) multi-LLM gateway supporting OpenAI GPT-4o, Google Gemini 1.5 Flash, and xAI Grok-Beta with AES-256 encrypted credential storage:
AI Ad Copywriter Agent
Generates high-converting Meta Ad primary text, hooks, and WhatsApp pre-filled CTAs using proven copywriting frameworks: AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action), PAS (Problem, Agitate, Solve), and BAB (Before, After, Bridge).
DALL-E 3 Creative Studio
Generates photorealistic promotional product creatives directly inside Sendy formatted in 1:1 square feeds or 9:16 vertical reels formats.
Meta Ads Health Audit
Runs 24-point account audits scoring your Meta Ad account from 0–100, identifying wasted spend opportunities, frequency fatigue, and bid optimizations.
11. Developer REST API & In-App Playground
Every action in Sendy is powered by an enterprise REST API. Developers can generate secret API keys in Settings -> API Keys or test live requests in the in-app interactive tester:
Authentication Headers
Send WhatsApp Template Message
POST /v1/messages/template
Interactive In-App API Playground (`/api-test`)
Evaluate APIs without writing code. Select any approved template, populate variables in form fields, and inspect real-time JSON responses, HTTP status codes, and round-trip server latency directly in your browser.
12. CRM & Sales Pipeline Deals Kanban
Sendy integrates a visual sales deal board directly into your WhatsApp inbox:
New Leads
Auto-populated via Meta CTWA ads and incoming customer chats.
Qualified
Prospects confirmed budget and requirements.
Proposal Sent
Brochures or quotes dispatched over WhatsApp.
Negotiation
Active commercial discussion in Live Chat.
Closed Won
Closed revenue contributing to monthly forecasting.
13. Growth Tools: Chat Widget & QR Code Studio
Capture offline and website visitors directly into WhatsApp:
Embeddable Website Chat Widget
Customizable floating WhatsApp chat bubble with agent avatars, greeting messages, and corporate branding. Embed onto Shopify, WordPress, or custom web apps with a single JavaScript script tag.
Branded QR Code Studio
Generate high-contrast, scannable QR codes linked directly to pre-filled WhatsApp conversations. Includes built-in contrast validation, high-res PNG export, and a 1-click print layout for retail packaging or store counters.
14. E-Commerce Integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce & Storefronts)
Sendy integrates with e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom webstores) via native webhooks and REST APIs to turn WhatsApp into an automated revenue-generating channel:
1. Automated Abandoned Cart Recovery
How it works: When a shopper adds products to cart but leaves checkout without completing payment, Shopify/WooCommerce fires a webhook to Sendy.
The Automation: Sendy waits 30 minutes (customizable) and automatically dispatches a pre-approved WhatsApp template with the item picture, cart name, and a 1-click direct checkout recovery link.
Recovers 15–22% of abandoned carts compared to < 3% for traditional email.
2. Automated Order & Delivery Alerts
How it works: Sendy listens for store lifecycle events: order.placed, order.shipped, and order.out_for_delivery.
The Automation: Dispatches real-time WhatsApp Utility templates containing tracking numbers, live courier map links, and estimated delivery dates.
Cuts "Where is my order?" live chat support inquiries by more than 50%.
3. Two-Way Customer Sync & Smart Audience Segmentation
Customer profiles and total order spend are continuously synchronized from your online store into Sendy's CRM. Sendy applies dynamic tags automatically:
Marketers can instantly filter campaigns: "Send a 20% festive voucher only to customers tagged VIP Shopper who haven't purchased in the last 60 days."
4. Meta Product Catalogs & In-Chat Commerce
Sync your Meta Commerce Manager catalog directly with Sendy. Send single-product cards or multi-item carousels in WhatsApp chat, allowing shoppers to view descriptions, select sizes, add items to a native WhatsApp cart, and complete purchase with integrated payment links.
15. Telegram Gateway & System Health
Sendy operates as a unified multi-channel communication engine with end-to-end delivery observability:
Telegram Bot Integration
Paste any HTTP API Token generated by Telegram's @BotFather. Sendy automatically provisions secure webhooks to route Telegram alerts and bot flows without requiring separate backend code.
Ecosystem Diagnostics & Error Audit (`/logs`)
Monitor Meta Cloud API response latency graphs (P50/P99), queue worker depths, and real-time error logs surfacing internal Meta error codes (131026: Undeliverable, 131049: Fatigue Limit, 131051: Parameter Mismatch).
