Alerts

WhatsApp alerts from your own systems

A leak sensor trips, a cold store warms up, your site stops responding. Tobachat sends the alert to the right person on WhatsApp, from your own business number, with one call from Home Assistant, n8n or your own script. It's in every plan, and you can start free.

How it works

One call per alert

1

Connect your number

Your WhatsApp business number runs on Tobachat, so every alert arrives from it with your business name on top.

2

Get a template approved

Fixed wording with slots for the details, like "Alert from {{1}}: {{2}}". Meta approves it once.

3

Call the endpoint

Your system posts the number and the values with your API key. We fill in the template and send it.

Who it's for

For equipment that shouldn't fail quietly

Holiday parks and campsites

A leak in a lodge, a pool pump that trips, a barrier stuck open. The alert goes to whoever is on call.

Marinas and boat rental

Bilge, shore power, battery. The harbor master hears about it right away, or the renter who signed up for alerts.

Property and facility management

A plant room, a lift or the heating reports a fault straight to the service team.

IT teams and online stores

A site that stops answering, a payment provider throwing errors, a stock feed gone quiet. Route it through n8n or your monitoring to the person on call.

What you get

Official WhatsApp, from your own number

Your number, your name

No unknown sender: alerts come from the number your customers and staff already know, over the official WhatsApp Business Platform.

No duplicates

Send a key with each alert. If your system retries, we won't send it a second time within 24 hours.

Only to people who asked

Alerts go to people who signed up for them. Anyone who replies STOP gets nothing more.

Every alert in your inbox

Each alert shows in your shared inbox, in the thread with that recipient, ticks included. When someone replies, your team picks it up there.

Pricing

What it costs

Alerts are part of every plan. Start free, then €29, €99 or €199 a month, cancel any month. Meta charges per alert on top, with no markup from us.
