XCALLY Instant is the XCALLY solution which includes only WhatsApp Connector Channel

Choosing it, you can define the WhatsApp Accounts that the Agents, belonging to specific WhatsApp Queues, will use to receive and reply to WhatsApp messages from XCALLY Motion Omni Desktop Interface. 

The Customer and the Agent can exchange WhatsApp messages, reaping the following benefits:

  • the Customer can use one of the most popular messaging systems

  • the Agent interaction happens inside the XCALLY Motion common environment

  • the Agent can manage several types of interactions at the same time

  • the interaction content is shared, easily retrieved and managed

  • all the Customers information is stored in the Contacts Manager 

This channel is architecturally structured as a Connector and uses a third-party Solution Provider to manage communication with the WhatsApp application according to your license plan:

  • to receive messages from the customer's number

  • to send messages to the customer's number and notify confirmation of receipt and reading

  • to send outbound campaigns with the use of templates approved by Meta (only with Inbound & Outbound plan)

You can use WhatsApp Channel to manage inbound interactions and you can connect Whatsapp WhatsApp with Motion in three different ways: Twilio, SINCH V2 via Conversation API or Meta Connector.
Instead for outbound campaigns you can configure only Meta Connector

☑️ The standard channel working mechanism needs a Motion API to notify a new incoming WhatsApp message that must be saved in the provider configuration.

☑️ The Motion instance must have a public address accessible via HTTPS. For security reasons we strongly recommend to use a Reverse Proxy find out more


When the XCALLY Motion WhatsApp Connector Channel receives a request from that provider, it allows the management of it providing a standard interface (for all types of providers), through which the Agent can manage the WhatsApp interaction on Omnidesktop Interface.

Info

A message exchange session with the customer can last up to 24 hours: after this time the session will be automatically closed. 
Until the interaction remains open (for 24 hrs. maximum), any WhatsApp coming from the same telephone number will be received and managed as belonging to the same interaction. When the Agent closes it, any other WhatsApp coming from the same number will open a new interaction.
For outbound campaigns, interactions have a Customer Service Window of 24 hours that starts when the first Whatsapp WhatsApp template is delivered to the customer. For inbound interactions, when customer sends the first message agents can answer for 24h, after that it’s necessary to send a recontact template.
