1. Introduction

Using WhatsApp Business APIs, it is possible to send notifications on WhatsApp. Just like you send SMS. This can greatly help businesses to get their voice heard, as WhatsApp notifications get mind-blogging open rates. Customers also prefer to use WhatsApp instead of SMS.


Use-cases

WhatsApp notifications can be used for many different requirements like

  • Account Update: Notify the user about updates or changes to their accounts.
  • Shipping Update: Notify the user of a change in shipping status for a purchased product.
  • Issue Resolution: Notify the user of an update to an issue that was initially reported on the chat.

and many more. To know more about the different ways to use notification, please click here.
