WhatsApp Integration with Zoho FSM - An Overview

Integrating Zoho FSM with WhatsApp creates a seamless communication channel between your field service team and customers, improving the quality of your service offering, and streamlining your service operations. Field service professionals can quickly respond to customer inquiries, resolve issues, and provide better service. This leads to improved customer satisfaction and loyalty, ultimately impacting the company's bottom line.
 
Prerequisites:
  1. A Meta Business Suite/Manager Account
  2. A WhatsApp Business Account and a phone number registered with it. The phone number you want to use to set up this integration must be valid and owned by you. If it is linked to any other Business Service Providers (BSP), WhatsApp Personal, or WhatsApp Business accounts, you risk losing your current chats. After setting up this integration, Zoho will become your Business Service Provider (BSP). Ensure that your WhatsApp Business account is not associated with other BSPs.
  3. Professional edition of Zoho FSM
    You can also use this integration in the Professional trial but you will only be able to respond to messages from the Whatsapp tab.
Available in DCs: US, EU, AU, IN, CA, SA
