Unofficial WhatsApp for Kommo (amoCRM)

Unofficial WhatsApp integration with Kommo (amoCRM) by Radist.Online: chat inside deals, chatbots, mass chats, multiaccounting, group chats and known limitations.

The unofficial integration (also called “grey WhatsApp”) connects a regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business number — the same one you already use on your phone — to Kommo (amoCRM). The conversation lands right inside the deal, and every manager on your team can reply from there.

The name amoCRM has changed to Kommo.com. Both names are used in the guides and screenshots below.
How it differs from WhatsApp Business API. Unofficial WhatsApp is your ordinary number connected through the app on your phone: it takes a couple of minutes to set up and costs less, but the number lives by WhatsApp’s own rules and can be blocked for mass messaging. If you need bulk broadcasts and guaranteed delivery, look at WhatsApp Business API.

How to connect

Connecting takes two steps: first add your WhatsApp number in the RadistWeb personal account, then link it to Kommo. Both steps are in one guide.

What each plan includes is on the subscription tariffs page.

What the integration can do

Chatting inside a deal

  • ✅ Talking to the customer on WhatsApp right in the Kommo deal card.
  • ✅ The customer is addressed by name automatically.
  • ✅ Sending and receiving files, videos, documents, location, audio and contacts.
  • ✅ Listening to voice messages right in the deal, without downloading them.
  • ✅ Notifications about missed WhatsApp calls.
  • ✅ Stickers:

  • Group chats — available on the Standard plan.
  • ✅ Working from the Kommo mobile app.

How to start a conversation first

  • ✅ Starting a chat from the deal — with a check for whether the number is registered in WhatsApp, and the button hidden if it isn’t.
  • Mass chat creation — start chats for a whole list of contacts at once.
  • Multiaccounting — several numbers on one Kommo account, with a choice of which one to write from.
  • WhatsApp business card — message contractors and performers whose contacts are not in the deal card.
  • ✅ An automatic start of the chat through Salesbot, so the bot writes to the customer itself.

Automation and analytics

Kommo mobile app

The integration supports the Kommo mobile app: the WhatsApp conversation is available right in the deal from your phone, and you can start a chat with a new contact from there as well.

Limitations

The unofficial integration has limitations. They are not temporary — this is simply how work through the WhatsApp app is arranged:

  • Buttons in chatbots are not supported. Build a menu with a choice by digits instead.
  • Products are not supported — if a customer sends a product or a cart, the message will not reach the CRM.
  • The maximum size of incoming and outgoing files is 100 MB.
  • Several contact cards in one message will not arrive in the CRM (one card at a time is fine).
  • Audio messages from the RadistWeb personal account do not reach recipients, although they are marked as delivered.
A number can be blocked for mass mailings and for messages to people who don’t have your number saved. Before any bulk sending, read the section about blocks and limits in the FAQ.

Auto-notification about QR code scanning

If your phone disconnects from the service, we notify you automatically that the QR code has to be scanned again to restore the integration. To receive such notifications, set up the “Notifications” section in your personal account.

Company ID

When your employee contacts technical support about the integration, they have to give the company ID from the personal account.

This is a matter of confidentiality — we need to be sure that the request comes from an employee of your company. Otherwise support may be refused until you confirm that this is your employee. Where to find the ID is shown in the screenshot below.
