Magento for B2C Order, Invoice and Shipment Updates Over Chat
Send Magento order, invoice and shipment updates on customers’ preferred messaging apps, and sync customers with respond.io through Zapier
Respond.io Magento capabilities
- Message customers automatically when they place a new Magento order
- Send a message with the invoice attached whenever a new sales invoice is generated in Magento
- Notify customers on their preferred messaging app when a new order shipment is created
- Add new respond.io contacts as Magento customers, so chat leads join your customer list
- Create or update respond.io contacts whenever a new customer is added in Magento
- Start from ready-made Zapier templates instead of building Zaps from scratch
Why use respond.io for Magento
Respond.io is built for mid-market B2C businesses that sell through Magento and want order updates to reach customers where they already chat. Every order message is matched to a respond.io contact by phone number or email. If a Magento order has neither, the Zap can’t send that customer an update.
- Order, invoice and shipment updates arrive on WhatsApp, Messenger or whichever app the customer uses
- Invoices go out as attachments in the chat, so customers don’t have to look for them in email
- Customer records sync in both directions, so new chat leads and new Magento customers stay aligned
- Enterprise-grade reliability with 99.999% uptime, ISO 27001, GDPR compliance and role-based access controls
FAQs about Magento integration
Can respond.io send Magento order updates on WhatsApp?
Yes. The Zapier templates send order, invoice and shipment messages through respond.io on any connected channel, including WhatsApp. Outside WhatsApp’s 24-hour reply window, the message must use an approved WhatsApp template, or it won’t be delivered.
Do Magento order messages open a conversation in respond.io?
No. Messages sent through Zapier don’t open the contact’s conversation, so they won’t crowd your agents’ active queue. You’ll find them by switching the Inbox filter to closed conversations.
Do I need a Zapier account to connect Magento?
Yes. The Magento integration runs through Zapier, so both respond.io and Magento need to be connected to your Zapier account. From there, you turn on the ready-made templates for orders, invoices, shipments and customer sync.
