Two Options for Sending Messages through WhatsApp
When using WhatsApp Business through Altegio, businesses have two messaging channel options:
Default Channel – Sending Messages from Altegio’s Number
In this option, your messages will be sent through a shared WhatsApp Business number managed by Altegio.
Benefit: Quick and hassle-free—no need to manage your own WhatsApp Business account.
Note: The interface will display that messages are coming from the “Altegio WhatsApp Business” number.
This is the default setup to get started quickly, especially for small businesses.
Client-Managed WhatsApp Business Account (Using a Dedicated Number)
Alternatively, you can connect your own WhatsApp Business account through a Meta Business Partner (MBP) plugin.
Benefit: Messages will be sent from your dedicated WhatsApp number, providing a personalized touch.
This option is ideal for businesses that want more control over their WhatsApp communications and branding.
Choosing the Right Channel for Your Business
Default Altegio Number: Best for businesses that want a quick start without managing their own WhatsApp setup.
Client-Managed Account: Ideal for businesses seeking full control and branding consistency in their communication with customers.
