How to Connect Zapier to WhatsApp with DMHub

Zapier connects 6,000+ apps with automated workflows called Zaps. DMHub connects your business to WhatsApp. Put them together and virtually any business event — from a Google Sheets row to a Typeform submission to a Trello card move — can trigger a WhatsApp message.

This is the integration for businesses that need custom workflows that go beyond DMHub's built-in integrations.

How It Works

DMHub is available as a Zapier app. You can use it as a trigger (something happens in DMHub, trigger an action elsewhere) or as an action (something happens elsewhere, send a WhatsApp message via DMHub).

DMHub as Trigger:

• New WhatsApp message received
• New contact created
• Conversation assigned
• Order placed

DMHub as Action:

• Send WhatsApp message
• Create contact
• Update contact
• Add tag to contact

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Connect DMHub to Zapier

1. Log into Zapier and create a new Zap
2. Search for "DMHub" in the app directory
3. Click Connect Account and enter your DMHub API key (found in Settings > API)
4. Test the connection

Step 2: Build Your First Zap

Here are five high-impact Zaps to start with:

Zap 1: Google Sheets New Row to WhatsApp

• Trigger: New row added to Google Sheets
• Action: Send WhatsApp message via DMHub
• Use case: Bulk import contacts with a welcome message

Zap 2: Typeform Submission to WhatsApp

• Action: Create contact + send WhatsApp message
• Use case: Lead capture form triggers instant WhatsApp follow-up

Zap 3: WhatsApp Message to Slack

Zap 5: CRM Deal Won to WhatsApp

• Trigger: Deal stage changes to "Won" in your CRM
• Action: Send WhatsApp onboarding message
• Use case: Sales to customer success handoff

Step 3: Test and Activate

Always test your Zap with real data before activating. Zapier's testing tool sends a single test event through the workflow so you can verify the WhatsApp message looks correct.

Global Use Cases

Event company in Dubai: Eventbrite registration triggers a WhatsApp confirmation with event details, venue map, and parking instructions. Attendees have everything they need in one chat.

Online course creator in India: Teachable enrollment triggers a WhatsApp welcome with course access link, community group invite, and a "reply with your biggest question" prompt.

Real estate team in Mexico: Zillow lead alert triggers a WhatsApp message from the assigned agent within 60 seconds. First-response time went from 4 hours to under a minute.

Fitness coach in Nigeria: Stripe payment triggers a WhatsApp message with the workout plan PDF and a Calendly link for the first coaching call.

Advanced: Multi-Step Zaps

Combine multiple apps in a single workflow:

1. Customer fills out Typeform survey
2. Zapier creates a HubSpot contact
3. Zapier adds them to a Mailchimp list
4. DMHub sends a WhatsApp welcome message
5. Slack notifies the sales team

All of this happens in seconds, automatically, without anyone touching a keyboard.
