Reliable operations
Monitor your WhatsApp connection in South Africa
Monitor WhatsApp connection status in South Africa and create disconnection alerts with webhooks, n8n and Wafly.
Direct answer
Monitoring combines disconnection events with a scheduled status endpoint check. The workflow waits to reduce false positives, confirms the state and alerts with the instance, client and reconnection procedure.
A useful automation does not end after sending a message. It observes instance status, records failures and alerts the right person before a disconnection affects operations.
What you can automate
- Receive connection and disconnection events
- Alert through email, Slack, Telegram or another channel
- Separate temporary incidents from issues that require a new QR scan
Before you start
- A configured disconnection webhook
- An authenticated status request
- A team alert channel
- An owner for each instance
A production-ready approach
Combine events and polling
The webhook is fast while polling catches missed events. A scheduled run can check every instance without alerting while status remains healthy.
Confirm before alerting
After an event, wait and query status again. Alert only when the disconnection remains, so an automatic recovery does not wake the team.
Make the alert actionable
Include client, instance, first failure, last check and a dashboard link. Separate a temporary warning from an incident that requires another QR scan.

- Webhook plus scheduled polling
- A delay before escalation
- One open alert per incident
- Automatic resolution after recovery
- A reconnection runbook
How to build the workflow
- Configure the instance status webhook.
- Add waiting and retry rules to prevent unnecessary alerts.
- Escalate with the instance identifier and a link to the dashboard.
QR connection, not the official Meta API. Use opt-in contacts and increase volume gradually.
Frequently asked questions
Does every disconnection require a new QR scan?
Not necessarily. Some sessions recover; use the API status and a waiting period before escalating.
Can I monitor multiple instances?
Yes. Include the instance identifier and client in every alert so it reaches the right owner.
Does Wafly guarantee absolute availability?
No connection of this kind should be treated as infallible. Design retries, alerts and contingency procedures.
