Odoo App · WhatsApp & Messaging
WhatsApp Project & Tasks
Send Odoo project task assignments and stage updates over WhatsApp Cloud API.
Overview
WhatsApp Project & Tasks keeps project assignees in the loop over WhatsApp, so the team gets notified the moment a task is created, picked up, or closed — without anyone having to remember to message them.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, the module ties WhatsApp templates to project task stages. When a task moves between stages in Odoo, the matching template is sent to the assignee's WhatsApp number through Meta's official Cloud API. A manual Send Task by WhatsApp button on the task form lets a manager push an update on demand.
Delivery status (sent, delivered, read) appears in Odoo's chatter and Discuss interface, and the module is compatible with Odoo 12 through 19 alongside TechUltra's WhatsApp Base connector.
Key features
-
Stage-driven automation
Bind a WhatsApp template to each project task stage. When a task moves between stages, the template is sent to the assignee automatically.
-
Automatic notifications to assignees
Assignees receive a WhatsApp message on stage changes — Task Created, In Progress, Done, Cancelled — without any manual action from the project manager.
-
Manual Send Task by WhatsApp button
On any task form, click Send Task by WhatsApp to push a one-off update to the assignee's WhatsApp using a chosen template.
-
Dynamic message templates
Templates support variables, so messages include the task name, project, deadline, and assignee — personalised per task on every send.
-
Delivery and read receipts in Odoo
WhatsApp single grey, double grey, and double blue ticks appear in Odoo's chatter and Discuss, so managers see when a notification was delivered and read.
-
Per-stage template control
Each stage can use a different template, so the wording for new tasks, in-progress updates, blocked work, and closures stays appropriate to context.
-
Meta WhatsApp Cloud API
The module uses Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API rather than a third-party gateway, so deliveries, templates, and limits follow Meta's rules.
-
Wide Odoo version coverage
Supports Odoo Community and Enterprise on versions 12 through 19, so the same workflow runs on legacy and current installations.

Setup & configuration
From install to first call — here is the path.
- 1
Install the module
In Odoo, open Apps, remove the Apps filter, search for “WhatsApp Project & Tasks”, and click Install. The TechUltra WhatsApp Base connector is installed automatically as a dependency.
- 2
Connect Meta WhatsApp Cloud API
In the TechUltra WhatsApp Base configuration, link your Meta WhatsApp Business Account by entering the App ID, App Secret, Phone Number ID, and permanent access token from the Meta developer dashboard.
- 3
Bind templates to task stages
Go to Project → Configuration → Task Stages, open each stage, and pick the WhatsApp template to send when a task moves into that stage.
- 4
Create and assign tasks
Go to Project → My Tasks → New, add a title, project, and assignee, and save. Stage-change notifications start firing as soon as the task moves.
- 5
Send a manual update
Open any task and click Send Task by WhatsApp. Pick the template and send — useful for nudges or ad-hoc clarifications outside the stage flow.
Frequently asked questions
-
Are notifications automatic or manual?
Both. Stage-change notifications fire automatically when a task moves between stages, and a Send Task by WhatsApp button on the task form lets a manager push one-off messages.
-
Who receives the WhatsApp message?
The task's assignees receive the message on their WhatsApp number. Make sure the user's phone is set on their employee or user record so the module can target it.
-
Which Odoo versions are supported?
The module supports Odoo 12.0, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, in both the Community and Enterprise editions.
-
Does this use the official WhatsApp Cloud API?
Yes. The module runs on Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API, not a third-party gateway, so deliveries and templates follow Meta's own rules.
-
Can each stage use its own template?
Yes. Each task stage can be bound to a different WhatsApp template, so the wording for new tasks, in-progress updates, blocked work, and closures fits the context.
-
Where do delivery receipts appear?
Single grey, double grey, and double blue WhatsApp ticks appear in Odoo's chatter and Discuss, so managers can see whether the assignee received and read the message.
-
What other Odoo modules does this depend on?
It depends on Project (project), Discuss (mail), and TechUltra's WhatsApp Base connector, which handles the underlying Cloud API setup and templates.
-
Is support included?
Yes. The module includes 90 days of bug-fix support, Monday to Friday, 10:00–19:00 IST.
