Intro

It's a section available only for Professional PRO and Business plans!

Are you wondering what is WhatsApp Business?

You can find it in Channels, by clicking in your Dashboard's left bar, on the Antenna logo.

If you don't have a WhatsApp Business, you'll see a request Early Access button, from which you can request the official WhatsApp integration directly to us! πŸ€—

By clicking on Request Early Access, you will speak briefly with a bot, then our team will revise your request and get in touch with you!

If after speaking with us your request has been approved and your official phone number activated, this is what you're going to see:

Each one of your Business number pages will be divided in 3 sections: My account, Get Opt-ins and Campaigns.

My account / General

If you click on the business number box, you will open the section of My Account / General:

Here you will see:

  • The Name of your channel, which can be your phone number or the name under which your company is registered to use the Official WhatsApp API.
  • Then you have the Linked Bot: you're able to choose which bot you want to connect to your official WhatsApp channel and change it any time you want.
  • Finally you'll have the list of My Message Templates.

Message templates or HSM Templates are messages that you can pro-actively send to your subscribed users after 24 hours from their last contact.

Remember that these message templates need to be requested and approved. Click on request a new HSM to request them!

On the right side you have your channel's info:
