About this changelog
Which WhatFlow apps does this changelog cover?
It covers WhatFlow Business API, the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API app for Shopify that includes the WhatsApp Team Inbox, and WhatFlow Chat Automation, our unofficial API app, which links a store's regular WhatsApp account. Updates that apply to both are labeled "Both apps".
How far back does this changelog go?
WhatFlow Chat Automation, our unofficial API app, launched on the Shopify App Store in October 2024. Its preserved release history starts in December 2024, and WhatFlow Business API, our official API app, is covered from its first features in March 2026.
Do I need to do anything to get these updates?
No. WhatFlow updates automatically for every store. If a new feature needs an extra Shopify permission, the app asks you to approve it the next time you open it.
How can I follow new WhatFlow releases?
Check this page, or subscribe to the changelog RSS feed at whatflow.io/changelog/rss.xml to see new releases in your feed reader.
What is the difference between the official and unofficial API apps?
WhatFlow Business API, the official API app, connects through Meta's official WhatsApp Cloud API and adds Shopify Flow triggers, catalog sharing and a team inbox. WhatFlow Chat Automation, the unofficial API app, links a regular WhatsApp account as a linked device, for stores that want to start without a Meta Business account.
