How do you connect WhatsApp to Autodesk?

Connect your WhatsApp and your Autodesk account in 1SiteLog, then map each WhatsApp group to a project. New messages and supported files are saved to the project's Files, or a group can create Autodesk Issues, with replies added as comments.

WhatsApp: Your WhatsApp, linked from Linked devices on your phone, like WhatsApp Web.
Lands in Autodesk: Project Files as dated PDF logs, or Autodesk Issues with comments
You need: An Autodesk account with access to the projects. A WhatsApp account that is in the site groups. For Issues: an issue type set up in the project.
Price: Ask us about your project for current pricing.

What it does in Autodesk

A daily log in project Files

Each group's messages are saved as a PDF in the project's Files, once a day by default or every hour or six hours if you prefer, with photos and supported files next to it.

Site messages become Issues

Map a group to Issues and a message becomes an Autodesk Issue with its photo. Replies to that message are added as comments.

One group, several projects

A group can feed more than one project. Admins decide which group goes where.

Voice notes as text

Turn on transcription to save a written version of each voice note. It uses credits you buy separately.

Set up WhatsApp for Autodesk

Questions

Something else? Ask us.

Does my site crew need a new app?

No. They keep using their WhatsApp groups. One person connects the accounts and maps the groups.

What is the difference between Files and Issues?

Files keeps the full conversation record and media with the project. Issues is for site problems that need an owner and follow-up. You choose per group.

Which Autodesk product is it for?

Autodesk Forma projects, using Autodesk's own sign-in. Files and Issues are where the WhatsApp updates land.

Is this part of my WhatSync account?

No. 1SiteLog is its own app with its own sign-in and billing, made by Appstronauts, the team behind WhatSync. Want your AI agent to read and answer your WhatsApp too? That is WhatSync.
