A Better Way: Send WhatsApp Messages Automatically Using KrispCall + Zapier Integration
You can send WhatsApp messages automatically using KrispCall Zapier integration. When a contact is added to the KrispCall, this action triggers Zapier. Then, Zapier tracks the contact, and a message is sent to WhatsApp. Likewise, when a message is received in KrispCall, a trigger is generated in Zapier, and as a result, a message is sent to WhatApps.
Similarly, when a voicemail is received in KrispCall, a message is sent to WhatsApp through Zapier, following the same action and trigger technique. These messages sent to WhatsApp can be customized according to the requirement.
Final Thoughts
Since you cannot directly connect Zapier to WhatsApp, there is still a better way to send WhatsApp messages automatically using KrispCall Zapier integration. The message can be automatically sent using the action and trigger technique between KrispCall and Zapier as soon as contact/voice mail/ message is received in KrispCall. Like Zapier, there are also some other possible integrations, one of which is Wati.
