WooCommerce Order to Invoice & WhatsApp Notification
Automatically process new WooCommerce orders — update inventory, generate an invoice, and notify the customer on WhatsApp.
The automation chain
Business problem
Store staff manually check new orders, update stock sheets, create invoices, and message customers — a process that slows down as order volume grows.
Before automation
Someone checks the WooCommerce dashboard periodically, manually updates an inventory sheet, creates an invoice document, and messages the customer separately.
The automated workflow
As soon as an order is placed, n8n updates inventory records, generates an invoice, and sends the customer an order confirmation on WhatsApp automatically.
How it works
- 1A new order in WooCommerce triggers the workflow.
- 2n8n updates your inventory record for the ordered items.
- 3n8n generates an invoice and stores or emails it as needed.
- 4n8n sends an order confirmation to the customer via WhatsApp.
