How to Send Restrict Content Pro Data to WhatsApp
WhatsApp is a messaging platform. Events can trigger instant notifications. Every Restrict Content Pro membership record should flow into WhatsApp automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
The direct approach
AFI delivers membership data straight from WordPress to WhatsApp. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Restrict Content Pro installed and configured.
- A WhatsApp account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect WhatsApp to AFI
WhatsApp uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → WhatsApp, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Restrict Content Pro to WhatsApp.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Restrict Content Pro as the form provider. AFI fires when a member signs up or a payment completes, giving you access to member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and subscription status.
3. Select WhatsApp as the destination
Choose WhatsApp from the platform dropdown and pick Send Message. This sends a WhatsApp message via the Business API.
4. Map fields
Match each WhatsApp field on the left to the corresponding Restrict Content Pro field on the right. Common mappings include member name, email, membership level, payment amount, and subscription status. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Restrict Content Pro. Check WhatsApp to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps phone number and message text to WhatsApp with unlimited records. Pro adds template message selection. No per-record fees on any plan.
