WhatsApp Accounts
What are the WhatsApp Accounts?
With XCALLY Motion you can share a single WhatsApp account among several Agents and use it in a way similar to a voice queue.
XCALLY Motion offers a web client WhatsApp Account specific for Customer Care needs, where the Agents share all information. What you need to do is just to configure:
- the Solution Provider account (e.g. Twilio)
- the Motion WhatsApp Connector account
- the WhatsApp Connector Queue
and manage WhatsApp messages exchange using XCALLY Motion, as well as for the other channels.
Remember to add the Agents to the WhatsApp Account in order to let them manage the interactions through this channel.
