How do you send an outbound message via the Tickets module?
It's simple to send messages to customers through WhatsApp directly from Desk's Tickets module.
To send a WhatsApp message, open the Tickets module and find the ticket. Tap the ticket to open the detail view, then tap the WhatsApp logo beside the phone number under the contact info.
