6. Click on Login button on Module Dashboard - It will show a QR Code, Scan it with your Whatsapp mobile app
   
7. It will login your whatsapp to send notifications from that whatsapp.

Done

Your WHMCS is now connected with WhatsApp and will automatically send notifications to clients and admins.

[!IMPORTANT] It is not guaranteed you will not be blocked by using this method. WhatsApp does not allow bots or unofficial clients on their platform, so this shouldn't be considered totally safe.
