Tip #8: Cómo integrar Whatsapp con Zoho Desk

Este artículo es una adaptación de la versión en inglés

Hace unas semanas presentamos las novedades de Zoho Desk para 2023. Ahora queríamos entrar más en detalle de una de las actualizaciones más esperadas por todos los usuarios de Zoho Desk. Se trata de la integración con Whatsapp business.  
WhatsApp es la aplicación de mensajería instantánea más utilizada del mundo, con aproximadamente 2.000 millones de usuarios. La presencia de esta aplicación es razón suficiente para que empresas de todos los tamaños la consideren un canal de atención al cliente. Si tus clientes contactan con frecuencia con tu empresa a través de WhatsApp, te resultará muy beneficioso integrar tu cuenta de WhatsApp Business con tu portal de Zoho Desk.

Algunos requisitos previos  
Los siguientes son los requisitos previos para integrar WhatsApp con tu cuenta de Zoho Desk:
  • Una cuenta de Facebook Business Manager
  • Un negocio verificado
  • Una cuenta de WhatsApp Business
  • Una línea de crédito de prepago para tu cuenta de WhatsApp Business
  • Un número de teléfono registrado para acceder a la API de WhatsApp Business
Notas:
  • Después de verificar tu negocio, se revisará para comprobar que cumple las Condiciones de servicio de WhatsApp y la Política de comercio de WhatsApp.
  • Si has cambiado la marca de tu dominio, debes habilitar las cookies de terceros en tu navegador antes de iniciar la integración.
  • No puedes utilizar números de teléfono de WhatsApp que se estén utilizando actualmente en otros productos. Sólo se pueden utilizar para la integración números de teléfono no utilizados y registrados.
  • Aún no es posible migrar los números de teléfono existentes.
 
El proceso de incorporación
El flujo de incorporación e integración de WhatsApp consta de cuatro pasos. Consistirá en vincular tus cuentas de Facebook y WhatsApp Business, crear tu perfil de WhatsApp Business, verificar tu número de WhatsApp Business y configurar WhatsApp como canal. Asegúrate de haber iniciado sesión en tu cuenta de Facebook en el mismo navegador.

Verificación empresarial
Durante la experiencia de prueba no verificada, solo podrás enviar mensajes iniciados por la empresa a dos números de teléfono y mantener hasta diez conversaciones iniciadas por clientes durante los primeros 30 días. Transcurridos 30 días, ya no podrás enviar mensajes hasta que completes la verificación de empresa y superes todas las comprobaciones de Whatsapp.
 
Para establecer una plataforma de conversación en directo de mensajería instantánea de pleno derecho, debes verificar tu cuenta de Facebook Business Manager proporcionando todos los documentos necesarios, incluida la prueba de entidad jurídica y la prueba de acceso a la empresa. Sólo entonces se habilitará tu versión de prueba ampliada, que permite una conversación bidireccional entre tú y un cliente con 1500 mensajes iniciados por el cliente. Recuerda que una conversación es una sesión de 24 horas de mensajería ilimitada con un número de teléfono determinado.

Aparecerán los canales creados en su cuenta.
 
      4. Desactiva el botón correspondiente al canal que deseas desactivar.
      5. Haz clic en Desactivar en el cuadro de diálogo de confirmación.
El canal quedará desactivado.

                                    Hello Zoho CRM, How do I update "Lead Status" to more than 100 records at once? To give you a background, these leads were uploaded or Imported at once but the lead status record was incorrectly chosen. So since there was a way to quickly add records in the system no matter how many they are, we are also wondering if there is a quicker way to update these records to the correct "Lead Status". I hope our concern makes sense and that there will be a fix for it. All the best, Jonathan
