Create a Request Contact Info Template for WhatsApp Business

Updated 

You can create a Request Contact Info template for the WhatsApp Business channel to prompt users to share their phone numbers directly. This is especially useful when users are identified only by their BSUID/username and their phone number is not yet available in Sprinklr.

When a customer taps the Share Contact Info button, WhatsApp automatically shares their number. The number is then ingested into Sprinklr, and the associated profile is updated.
