Extend WhatsApp Group API with Jely's custom Workflows

The Group API unlocks more than just group conversations. With Jely, you can layer on smart workflows that make group chats manageable and actionable.

The what + why

Make Every Message Actionable (with Jely)


What the API delivers is group communication; why Jely matters is that it ensures critical messages get seen, prioritised, and acted on immediately.


For example, when someone tags your business account in a WhatsApp group, Jely automatically marks that message as Important in your dashboard. From there, the message can be forwarded by email with its original context intact, so the person responsible knows exactly what needs to be done without having to trawl through long chat histories.


On top of that, simple AI rules can highlight keywords like urgent or invoice and suggest quick actions. The result is a workflow that makes WhatsApp groups not only possible, but truly productive. Instead of important requests getting buried in busy group chats, they’re surfaced, tracked, and assigned.


This transforms WhatsApp groups from being just another messaging thread into a structured, manageable workflow where nothing critical slips through the cracks. It also means teams can respond faster, act with greater clarity, and trust that the system will catch what matters — turning a simple chat into a powerful coordination tool.

How it works

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the WhatsApp Group API different from a regular WhatsApp group?

A regular group is created manually by a user inside the app. The Group API lets businesses create and join groups programmatically, through an official, secure API. That means groups can be created at scale, linked to business systems, and logged for compliance — things not possible with normal groups.
