Connection of WhatsApp
WhatsApp is a popular channel for customer support and sales, the benefits of which are already being used by a huge number of companies around the world. The main features of this communication channel are reaching users first, having access to all previous correspondence that was before the integration was connected.
Integration with WhatsApp allows you to record all calls in Umnico application, receive messages from customers and users who write to WhatsApp in the same way as you receive messages in the program of the messenger or social media. You will no longer lose a single message from a client, and all communication with them will be available on request. Moreover, the data of the dialogues can be systematized and analyzed.
Integration with WhatsApp is useful for any business. However, the most active users of this business messenger are medium and small businesses, clothing stores, beauty salons, online stores and others.
Umnico uses a robust integration mechanism to aggregate all messages from WhatsApp, so that not only text messages but also documents and multimedia files can be exchanged without delay.
Before setting up the integration, we strongly recommend you close all other WhatsApp Web sessions by opening WhatsApp application, click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner, select “Linked devices”, select a device from the list and click on “Log out” button.
Connecting WhatsApp to Umnico:
