Onboard a WhatsApp Business App Account
Updated
You can add a WhatsApp Business Account in Sprinklr using the same phone number you use on the WhatsApp Business app. This allows the account to coexist on both platforms, letting you manage messages simultaneously through Sprinklr and the WhatsApp Business app.
Note: After a business customer has been onboarded to Cloud API, messages sent by the business via the WhatsApp Business app will continue to be free, but messages sent via Sprinklr will be subject to Cloud API pricing.
