Sending IM Whatsapp Message from Desk Ticket and Contacts Page in Android

WhatsApp is the world's most widely used instant messaging (IM) service app, with nearly three billion users. Integrating it with the help desk significantly enhances support agents' ability to manage customer requests in real-time through the most preferred mode of communication.  Learn more about integrating WhatsApp with Zoho Desk
When integrated with WhatsApp, the agents can message or reply to the customers directly from the Ticket Detail Page and Contact Page using the WhatsApp icon instead of navigating to  the Instant Messaging (IM) module. This helps the agents to quickly initiate personalized conversations with customers by selecting a pre-approved WhatsApp message template aiding in timely and consistent resolution of tickets.
Notes
  1. Only the fields Mobile and Phone in the ticket layout will be accepted for sending WhatsApp messages. Any other custom fields carrying phone numbers will not be recognized.
  2. Only the phone numbers with the country code are valid to send WhatsApp messages; numbers without the country code will be considered invalid.
