WhatsApp remains one of the most popular communication channels for businesses — especially in sales, customer support, and local retail. It’s familiar and convenient for most clients, and users actively engage through it, giving companies the chance to stay connected and respond quickly. Umnico, an omnichannel messaging platform, brings together messengers and social media in one interface, making it easy to manage all customer conversations from a single place.
WhatsApp is one of the most popular messengers worldwide and is actively used by businesses to communicate with their clients.
Integrating WhatsApp with Umnico allows you to:
✅ Respond to incoming WhatsApp messages directly in Umnico.
✅ Reach out to clients first through the omnichannel platform.
✅ Forward messages, attach files, and use message templates.

WhatsApp is a messenger designed for live, personalized conversations — not for automated mass messaging. Meta (WhatsApp's parent company) strictly monitors spam-like activity, and accounts can be banned for violations.
To avoid account blocks and ensure stable operation, follow these recommendations:
Meta uses automated algorithms to detect and restrict spam. These systems analyze:
If you receive the following message:
"You’re blocked for using unauthorized software or unofficial services",
this means your account has been flagged for suspicious or spam-like behavior.
Unfortunately, it’s very unlikely to recover a banned account in such cases.
Umnico is not a bulk messaging service and is not responsible for account blocks resulting from WhatsApp policy violations.
Our integration is based on WhatsApp's official web version, and as long as the above recommendations are followed, usage remains safe and compliant.
