Code
JavaScript used in the Code step — already included in the template below.
// Mode: Run Once for Each Item
// Salla order webhook → clean fields.
// Run one test order first and check the field names in the webhook data.
const body = $json.body || {};
const o = body.data || {};
const c = o.customer || {};
return {
json: {
event: body.event,
order_id: o.reference_id || o.id,
customer_name: [c.first_name, c.last_name].filter(Boolean).join(" "),
phone: `${c.mobile_code || ""}${c.mobile || ""}`.replace(/[^0-9]/g, ""),
email: c.email || "",
total: o.amounts?.total?.amount ?? o.total?.amount ?? "",
currency: o.amounts?.total?.currency ?? o.currency ?? "",
payment_method: o.payment_method || "",
city: o.shipping?.address?.city || c.city || "",
items: (o.items || []).map((i) => `${i.quantity}× ${i.name}`).join("، "),
date: o.date?.date || body.created_at || "",
},

}In Make, create a new scenario and add these modules in order:
- Webhooks › Custom webhook
- Tools › Set variable / Iterator + Array aggregator (same logic as the Code step)
- Filter on the next route: “Has phone?”
- If yesWhatsApp Business Cloud › Send a Template Message
- Every module run uses Make operations — the free plan includes a monthly quota.
- Make's built-in functions (map, sum, formatDate…) can replace most Code steps; for complex logic use a code module.
- Module and step names can differ slightly as Make and Zapier update their apps.
In Zapier, create a new Zap and add these steps in order:
- Webhooks by Zapier — Catch Hook
- Code by Zapier — Run JavaScript (paste the code from the Code section)
- Filter by Zapier: “Has phone?”
- If yesWhatsApp — Send Template Message
- Zaps with more than two steps need a paid Zapier plan.
- Webhooks, Filters/Paths and Code by Zapier are premium features on some Zapier plans.
- Code by Zapier runs JavaScript: reuse the code shown above, reading inputs from inputData instead of $json.
- Module and step names can differ slightly as Make and Zapier update their apps.
Tips
- Add the webhook in Salla Partners (your app) or the store's webhook settings.
- Use Salla's token or signature option and check it with the Webhook node's authentication.
