How this automation works
Send a WhatsApp message instantly when you press a Flic button. This Applet runs as soon as your selected Flic is clicked, double-clicked, or held, sending your prewritten WhatsApp message automatically. It’s perfect for quick alerts, help requests, or notifying someone with just a tap — no phone handling needed. Customize the message to fit your tone.
