For many participants and in situations where you need a fast reply from them, WhatsApp is more effective. With this plugin, you can create messages with placeholders, such as name, groups, etc., and send them to the participants.
This plugin is not intended for sending bulk messages for non-educational or commercial purposes.
For trainers, it's easy to navigate to the course members, select the participants, craft one message, and generate this message for all the selected participants.
 
It's easy to use
 
  1. Select the course and open the participants list.
  2. Check the boxes next to the students for whom you want to generate a WhatsApp message.
  3. A symbol with the WhatsApp logo will then appear. A click / tab will redirect you to the message generator
  4. Type your WhatsApp message in the textarea. Below the textarea, you will see the standard placeholders. For example, use %%firstname%% to insert each participant's first name. You'll also find special formats for WhatsApp, allowing you to format text in bold, italics, etc. Also you see a list for which participants the message will generated. On the right side of the page, you can see which participants, marked in green font, you can create the message for.
  5. Once you've finished typing the message, click the "Generate" button. A new tab will open for each participant with the generated message. You can then choose to send the message via WebWhatsApp or the WhatsApp Application. It's highly recommended to install the application and configure your browser to allow pop-ups for seamless redirection to the WhatsApp application.
  6. It's automatically recirect to your course participants.

    Hello Alex Barajas,

    Thank you for your comment. Please follow the instructions in the readme-file carefully. If this does not work, please create a ticket in GitHub with a detailed and productive description.
    Please also note that if you encounter problems with JavaScript when opening the participant list, the trigger won't load. I am currently working on this, but at the moment I do not have a good idea or the resources to render it without JavaScript.

    Best regards
