Answers.Body: <p>iXiam has self-funded and developed the <a href="https://www.civi-go.net/en/civigo-whatsapp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WhatsApp extension</a> and it is near ready to be deployed to a few organizations. However, it requires a fair deal of setup and integrating with a provider to be able to send messages; it’s not just plug and play. With that said, we are open to publicly releasing the extension if there are parties that want to put funding behind it to cover the development cost and steps to making it public.</p>
