Guide for software vendors looking to enable their customers to use their own WhatsApp senders
If you are a software vendor whose customers want to send WhatsApp messages under their own brand, they will need to link their WhatsApp account to your Messente account. Once this connection is established, you can route their messaging traffic to the new Sender created through this process.
You can create a button in your product to do this using this link format:
https://wa.messente.com/custom?account_uuid=[YOUR_UUID]&callback_url=[CALLBACK_URL]&title=[TITLE]&description=[DESCRIPTION]
Example page. Customise the title and description in the URL
Guide to paramaters
YOUR_UUID | Long string. Request from support |
CALLBACK_URL | Notifications of sign-ups will be sent to this URL |
TITLE | Main header text, 'My App' on example above |
DESCRIPTION | Longer text below the title |
The 'Login with Facebook' button will bring up the same Meta form that you would see if you clicked Connect
under WhatsApp on the Senders page in the Messente Dashboard.
You can see this experience being demoed here:
Next steps
Before your customer can begin sending WhatsApp messages using their new WhatsApp Business Account Sender, they must set up message templates. There are several methods available for doing this, including:
- Use the new Messente Template Management API to automatically push standardised templates into their account as they sign up
- Create a custom template builder in your product using the new Messente Template Management API
- Direct the customer to the Template builder within the Meta portal
