Being one of the most popular chat platforms with over a billion active users the
reach of WhatsApp is far and wide. It can send pictures, share files, and generally
help you to stay in touch while being user-friendly. However, can it also be used to
send emails? The short answer is no, but who would settle for short answers? We
will show you how to achieve the functionality you might be missing. Let us dive
deeper.
How to send email to WhatsApp
By default, WhatsApp allows sending any file type and documents, with the only
limitation being the size of the file. However, the files need support from other
applications so they can actually be viewed.
On mobile devices, this can sometimes be tricky, but generally, it can be done by
converting your message to another file format and then sending it as an
attachment. The format that is widely used is pdf.
General rule of the thumb on any android device is to try to print the email and
while doing so, saving the document as pdf. Then the PDF can be easily shared via
WhatsApp without further limitations. Keep in mind that not all email applications
for mobile devices allow you this conversion. Steps are quite similar for users who
prefer the Apple environment. The method always relies on some form of file
conversion and file sharing.
Sending email to WhatsApp via eM Client
You may wonder how can similar functionality be achieved on your desktop? In case
you are using a desktop version of WhatsApp and eM Client, things cannot be
simpler. You just drag your email onto the desktop or any other location and then
just drop it into WhatsApp as an attachment. eM Client also works very well with the
mobile version of WhatsApp. You may right-click on an email, select Forward >
Forward as attachment to convert your email into an attachment and then send
it to your mobile device. Afterward just share it via WhatsApp.
There is also an option to convert your email to pdf. You need to select an email,
right-click on it and then use the ‘Save as’ option. You are either given an option to
save the email as a pdf or an eml file.
For personal use, you might be okay with switching between applications. But what
if you want all your communication in one place, which is definitely a preferred way
for business users? eM Client has got you covered, while offering unraveling
simplification of your daily office tasks. It also allows its users to use eM Client’s own
integrated chat environment. That is all the functionality you could wish for in one
powerful tool.
