Link WhatsApp to Desk
Last updated: 2025-12-09 11:36:16
Desk supports WhatsApp access. After access, it will host the messages sent by managed users to WhatsApp.
Note:
When your business has multiple consultation entry points, it is recommended that you choose this method to unify the user inquiries from multiple channels (for example: in-APP customer service, WhatsApp, etc.) of your business to our workbench. The final achieved effect is that employees can reply to inquiries from multiple channels simultaneously in one workbench, enhancing the reply efficiency.
