WhatsApp for logistics & courier

Shipment updates out, delivery questions in — on one WhatsApp number.

Consignees message to ask where a parcel is, or to move a delivery to another day. wbm.link sends shipment updates as utility templates from the inbox or as broadcasts to the day's list, answers “track” with a keyword reply, and puts every reschedule request in one shared inbox.

Sound familiar?

Where WhatsApp breaks down today

“Where is my parcel?” all day

The same question, by call and by chat, answered by hand at the hub.

Failed delivery attempts

The rider arrives and nobody is home, because the consignee never knew the delivery day.

Reschedules lost on riders' phones

Change requests go to one rider's personal number and never reach the operations team.

Messages that work

Examples you can adapt

Utility templates cost a fraction of marketing ones in India, and replies inside a customer's 24-hour window need no template at all.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us.

Can I use the WhatsApp Business API for logistics delivery tracking?

Yes. Shipment, out-for-delivery and delivered updates are utility templates. wbm.link does not connect to courier or warehouse systems, so updates are sent from the inbox or as a broadcast to an imported list of the day's shipments with the AWB number filled in, and a keyword reply sends your tracking page link whenever someone types “track”.

How can consignees reschedule a delivery on WhatsApp?

They reply to the shipment update or type “reschedule”. A button flow asks for the AWB number and a preferred day, and the chat is assigned to your operations team, who confirm the new slot and leave a note for the hub.

Are delivery updates charged as marketing messages?

No. Updates about a consignee's own shipment are utility templates, priced well below marketing messages in India. Add an offer or a promotion to the same message and Meta treats it as marketing.
