A method for connecting Salesforce to WhatsApp can be done with Apex REST set for no auth mechanism.

Hello again loyal reader! We are bringing you more of what you love, how to integrate WhatsApp with Salesforce (You thought we were going to say chocolate, right? Come on, how would we even do that?). Now assuming you read the first post…you did, right?.. Of course, you did! Now that you have set up the ability to send messages to Salesforce from WhatsApp, let’s dive into generating a permanent access token to simplify the whole process.

As you probably already know, our magnificent developers have shown you how to create a permanent access token when integrating WhatsApp with Salesforce. And to add an extra bit of sprinkles to that already delicious knowledge-sundae is the ability to get an access token from Facebook Login programmatically.

Let the journey begin! Here starts the expedition into integrating WhatsApp with Salesforce for an improved customer and user experience.

Contacting customers promptly is an integral part of any business but time zones can complicate this process. It is also important to respect business hours during solicitation to ensure leads do not end up in DNC lists and diminish the chances of a successful contact. Moreover, a simple and easy-to-fill-out form is critical to improve the user experience and increase the submission rate. In a nutshell, the simpler the intake form, the higher the chances of users taking action!

In addition, this same solution can also auto-populate country, state and city as well (the US and Canada).

Timely business insights hold the key to successfully competing in an increasingly digital world.

"We need to redesign our Service cloud, Salesforce data model which means we must redesign processes, reload data, potentially re-write integrations and re-train our existing users in order to enable Sales cloud or enable Community cloud." Doesn't it sound familiar, am sure for most of you it does. In fact, this is true even if you've started off your Salesforce journey with Sales cloud or Community cloud.
