We use Sunshine Conversations from Smooch to power our WAB(WhatsApp for Business)Platform. It is being used to redirect the messages from WhatsApp to our application and vice-versa.
Please find below, a high level overview on how it is being used:
- We register the WhatsApp number with sunshine.
- After a verification process, a unique app will be created in sunshine which can be accessed through it’s key.
- With that key, we have created a middle ware which will redirect the messages back and forth from our app to that WhatsApp number.
