Messaging Channels

Overview

The Messaging Channels module allows you to view the available asynchronous messaging channels and manage their configuration and deployment. Currently IPscape supports WhatsApp with plans of adding Facebook Messenger, WeChat and native SMS in the near future.

To add a new WhatsApp Account into your call centre, you will have to contact your Account Manager or the Support Desk.

Once configured you should see several fields including the Channel Name, Status, Default Campaign and Type.
