WhatsApp Chat Channel
Overview
Product overview
Talk to your customers on the messaging app they use every day. WhatsApp Chat Channel connects your WhatsApp Business number to Creatio through the official Meta Cloud API, so conversations flow straight into the platform — received, answered, and managed by your team in Creatio, without switching to a separate app.
Because it connects directly to WhatsApp through Meta, there's no third-party provider or extra subscription in the middle — you connect your own number and start messaging. From there, WhatsApp works like every other chat channel in Creatio: your team handles conversations from one inbox, AI can answer routine questions first, and each chat is routed to the right people.
WhatsApp Chat Channel works together with two Creatio applications to give you the full experience: install the Contact Center application to process WhatsApp chats in the Agent Inbox with queues and automatic routing, and add the Customer Communication Hub application to automate responses with AI and hand off to a human agent whenever a personal touch is needed.
