Why Use Eano’s WhatsApp Integration for Daily Logs
External vendors/subcontractors are not your employees, and your field workers, even if they are employees, are often not so tech savvy. Many of them already use WhatsApp, so it is easy to navigate with no training needed.
Vendors and field workers can quickly send photos and notes through WhatsApp, helping you enforce daily updates easily. They can also draw or mark up photos before sending. All updates are automatically organized into Eano’s daily log, making project management seamless.
📋 Prerequisite: Assign Your Team in Eano Pro
Once you’ve added your Team Members to the Eano Pro platform and assigned them to specific projects:
➡️ You are now ready to have your field team message the Eano Construction Bot via WhatsApp, and get their updates automatically synchronized into the Eano Pro system’s Daily Log.

Or read the instructions below:
Step 1: Connect with the Eano Construction Bot
Open WhatsApp.
Scan the QR code below or add the contact number 650-629-2228 and start messaging.
This will connect the worker's WhatsApp with the Eano Construction Bot.
🔔 Reminder: The WhatsApp number your Field Worker/Team Member is using must match the number registered in the Eano app to link it to the correct project and worker/team member.
Step 2: Share Your Location
After connecting, the bot will send a message prompting the worker to "Share Location".
Tap on “Share live location” in WhatsApp.
🗺️ Why this matters:
Ensures the worker is physically on-site.
The system uses the location to match the worker with the correct project.
Step 3: Respond to the Bot’s Prompt
The bot will ask: "What happened on site there today?"
The worker can reply freely.
💬 Acceptable responses:
Text descriptions of the day’s work.
Photos or videos of progress, issues, deliveries, etc.
Step 4: Send Daily Updates
Workers can send:
Text messages (e.g. “Installed drywall on 2nd floor”)
Photos or videos (progress shots, site conditions, etc.)
Step 5: Automatic Sync to Eano Pro App
Once the update is sent, it’s automatically recorded in the project's daily log on the Eano Pro dashboard.
No further action needed by the worker or supervisor unless you prefer to share the updates to your clients (which was mentioned in the Daily Log article)
⚠️ Important Reminders
✅ WhatsApp number must match the number registered in the Eano app.
📍 Workers must share location to ensure correct project association.
🧰 This process does not require workers to log in to the Eano app.
🕓 Updates should be sent during or at the end of each workday.
