I just came back from the Netherlands, and it's amazing to see most stores already offer whatsapp support and not only that, people are using it like crazy (some stores do 10 to 20% of their support over whatsapp now, in 1-2 months time).


I hear it's already very big in latin America and Asia as well.


Here in Germany, I also see it's coming up. 


Therefore I think it would be great to get this into native Freshdesk asap. Thanks!

Very interested in this too. 


+1 we started using whatsapp support ,and since then email support and helpdesk reduced drastically. 


its been very efficient with whatsapp support. 


so integrating whatsapp with freshdesk i believe its future bulletproof . if at all possible in anyway.

Hello Folks,


We have been seeing a lot of requests coming in for an integration with Whatsapp . Just wanted to provide a status on this request.


We'll continue to actively evaluate these requests and see what we can offer. At this moment, we're tied down as Whatsapp doesn't offer public APIs. 


Cheers!

I personally like your idea

Personally, I think this will be big in emerging markets, where we operate as most of our clients use whatapp for communication, therefore as a business, it will add more value.  Your competitor has already implemented it and might switch to them if this is not implemented soon.

This is going to be a make-or-break feature soon.  Most others are coming onboard - at the very least, please let us know your intentions and timeline for implementation of this feature so that we can all plan accordingly.

What about whatsapp integration in India ??


Hi all, is it still early access phase after 7 months? did you complete any integration of whatsapp for 1to1 customer service? Nothing is advertised on freshdesk site. Can you please confirm?


Hi All,

Apologies for the delay in response.

For WhatsApp Integration, integrate your business number with your Freshdesk account and support customers over WhatsApp. This app for Freshdesk enables you to convert your one-on-one conversations including images or GIFs on WhatsApp into tickets and handle them from your Freshdesk helpdesk with ease.


Note: Access to WhatsApp Business API is necessary for this integration. Please fill in this form if you wish to try this integration out. Feel free to write to support@freshdesk.com if you require assistance in the approval process.


Once the approval is provided, you can install the app from the Freshdesk marketplace to integrate and convert your messages into tickets.

Cheers.
