What is WhatsApp Business API?

WhatsApp Business API (WABA) is a professional communication solution designed for medium-sized and large businesses. Companies handling a high volume of customer inquiries can integrate the official WhatsApp Business API with the Umnico messaging platform, a website chat widget, various CRM systems, and other business tools.

WhatsApp chat records in Umnico Inbox

Chat history in a messaging platform, not on a personal device

WhatsApp Business API allows you to use the world's most popular messenger without a phone. By connecting your WhatsApp account to the Umnico omnichannel platform, you will be able to distribute inquiries among employees, store all chat history in a secure system, quickly find specific information in conversations, filter chats by tags, as well as assign sales reps responsible for deals and move conversations through the digital pipeline.

With Umnico, you minimize the risk of data leakage and can better control your employees by making the work of sales and support departments transparent. And with the notification system, your specialists will never miss a single message from important clients.

Reach out first and track delivery status

With the WhatsApp Business API (WABA) integration, brands can be the first to start a conversation with customers. Umnico will show if the client's phone number is connected to WhatsApp, so you can be sure that the message will reach the recipient. All new conversations will have two blue check marks if the message has been read and two gray check marks if the message has not been read.

The ability to reach the client first will help to minimize the number of missed calls and increase the conversion from visitors to payments. For example, abandoned carts or unfilled forms can be recovered in a couple of minutes using automatic notifications.

Quick action buttons to boost your conversion

WhatsApp buttons are interactive elements that can be added to message templates in WhatsApp Business API. They allow a company to engage with customers more effectively by providing them options to choose from or actions to take. For example, a button can direct customers to a website, a file, or a customer support phone number with a single touch.

WhatsApp buttons can improve engagement and conversion rates by proactively involving customers in conversations and providing options to take an action that is meaningful to the user journey. Consequently, they work towards increasing sales, generating leads, and boosting customer satisfaction.
