Configure EvTrack
On Configuration > Server Settings > WhatsApp:
- Set Gateway to Twilio WhatsApp Business API.
- Set Sender Number to your WhatsApp-enabled Twilio number (international format).
- Fill Account SID, API Key, API Secret and Content SID.
- Map the template variables to the sources your approved template expects (the default mapping is company, host, start date, start time, end date, end time, access type, reason, credential).
- Save, then test-send to your own WhatsApp number. The message should arrive rendered with your template’s wording and the mapped values.
Notes
- Twilio rejects sends when the template variables do not match the approved Content - the test response carries Twilio’s error code for diagnosis.
- Conversation pricing and messaging limits are enforced on the Twilio side.
