⬆ Import from Excel / CSV
Upload an .xlsx, .xls, or .csv file. We'll map columns (name, size, color, price, stock, notes) automatically, show you all rows, flag duplicates, then import only what you approve. Choose AUTO to round-trip an exported inventory CSV — each row's id + category_name drive an update / insert with full diff preview.
📦 Track stock and cost of packing materials (boxes, tape, bubble wrap...).

Admin area locked
Enter your admin PIN. Default is 1990 — change it in Settings.
💰 Salary Deposits
Enter this month's staff and owner deposits per employee. Both add to the staff member's cumulative savings shown on every slip. Staff deposit is subtracted from net pay; owner deposit is held in savings only (does not affect monthly take-home). Re-saving the same month overwrites the previous entry.
📋 Salary History
Every salary slip ever generated is logged here with a unique SLIP-… ID. Click View to open the original — slips always render from their stored snapshot, so amendments to attendance or deposits never retro-mutate old slips.

📲 WhatsApp forward (product share) ▾
The green 📲 button on every product row sends name + price + main-image link to this WhatsApp number via the existing Chatwoot inbox. Use your OWN phone number here — then forward manually to clients so it goes out as a personal message instead of from the business number.
Forward target (WhatsApp number)
Needs to have messaged the Chatwoot inbox in the last 24h for free-form replies. (Outside that window WhatsApp requires a pre-approved template — configurable later.)
Daily summary time (IST)
Each Daily-Work box with a phone number receives an AI-summarised pending-task list once daily at this time.
Product-share template name
The exact name Meta approved (e.g.
product_share). Leave blank to fall back to free-form text.Language code
Category
Whatever Meta finally classified it as.
⚠ Outside the 24h window: for marketing-category templates, the recipient must have either messaged this Chatwoot inbox at least once OR explicitly opted in via Meta. If the toast says "Recipient has not opted in", send a "hi" from your phone to the staff WhatsApp number — that opens the window.
Template variables (comma-separated, in order)
Which product fields fill
{{1}}, {{2}}, … in your approved template body. Order matters. Available: name, price, specs (size · color), size, color, stock. Example: a 2-variable template body "Order: {{1}} — {{2}}" should use name,price. Edit this field if Meta returns (#132000) Number of parameters does not match — change the comma-list until the count matches the {{n}} placeholders in your template.
📋 Daily-summary template name
For sending the morning task push outside the 24h window. Body example: "Hi {{1}}, here are your pending tasks today:\n\n{{2}}" — we send [name, bullet list]. Leave blank to use free-form only (24h window required).
Language
Category
Daily summaries are usually utility (no marketing opt-in needed).
Click to fetch every approved WhatsApp template from your Chatwoot inbox and count its
{{n}} placeholders. Use the count to set "Template variables" above (e.g. name,price for a 2-var template, name,price,specs for 3-var).
📒 WhatsApp Templates (registry) ▾
Templates the panel knows how to send (defined in lib/templates.js). The status badge reflects the most recent whatsapp_log outcome — green = sent, red = last attempt failed. Click Test send to fire a sample send to the first admin's WhatsApp number; this proves the template is approved AND wired correctly without leaving the Settings page.

🤖 TaskFlow WhatsApp Bot (JIA) ▾
Bidirectional bot for the Daily Work module. Distinct from the legacy #STAFF webhook below — both can run side-by-side. Inbound URL for Chatwoot: POST /api/webhook/chatwoot.
Other bots can GET /api/internal/numbers (currently public per spec §9.11) to skip messages from registered staff. The token below is for future bearer-auth use.
Admins must start their message with this word for the bot to act on it. Staff numbers are captive — every message processed.
📜 WhatsApp activity log ▾
Every hit to the #STAFF webhook — including rejected and skipped ones. Use this to debug Chatwoot wiring.
