Getting started

WhatsApp is available on all our platform packages. Certain channel capabilities might only be available on the Interact and Transact packages.

What is WhatsApp?

As one of the most-used chat applications in the world, WhatsApp is the ideal chat channel to use for your business to see higher delivery, open and conversion rates.

Clickatell’s Chat Commerce Platform enables advanced messaging functionality through access to the WhatsApp Business API as part of our own cloud-hosted platform, and currently allows up to 500 messages to be sent per second.

 

For detailed information on how to use the WhatsApp channel, see the WhatsApp User Guide.

Once your WhatsApp channel is activated, it will also be available to use with the following Clickatell products:

• Chat Flow (automated messaging)
• Chat Desk (live agent messaging)
