To add the WhatsApp Business Messaging channel to a bot
NOTE: To complete this procedure, you must already have a Infobip account. This is one of the messaging provider for enabling WhatsApp Business Messaging.

Before proceeding:

  1. Login to Infobip developer portal.
  2. Navigate to Settings section under User Profile from the left navigation.
  3. Click the View Assigned Numbers link and note the assigned number.

From the Bots platform:

  1. In the Bots section of the Bot Builder, click the Bot to which you want to add the WhatsApp Business Messaging channel.

  3. Navigate to the Configurations tab and enter the following fields:
    1. Phone Number – use the Assigned Number from the Infobip account;
    2. Base URL: Get the Base URL here from Infobip to which Kore.ai should be sending the messages when the Whatsapp Business Messaging channel is enabled.
    3. Username and Password: Infobip’s API requires authentication and uses the basic authorization for sending and receiving messages over the API.
      Make note of ‘Username’ and ‘Password’ of Infobip’s account holder and provide them in the configuration tab of this page.
    4. Webhook URL: Copy the webhook URL provided in the configuration tab and update the same on Infobip developer portal for Infobip to send the received messages from the subscriber (Whatsapp Business Messaging)
  4. Enable Channel and complete the channel setup.
