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

When integrated with WhatsApp, 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 agents to quickly initiate personalized conversations with customers by selecting a pre-approved WhatsApp message template aiding in timely and consistent resolution of tickets.
