3rd Party Integration
The WhatsApp Marketplace integration allows sending notifications via WhatsApp using either:
Infraon Configuration (default built-in setup)
3rd Party Integration (external WhatsApp provider)
The 3rd Party Integration enables organizations to connect their own WhatsApp Business API provider instead of relying on Infraon’s internal configuration.
What is 3rd Party Integration?
3rd Party Integration allows Infraon to communicate with an external WhatsApp API provider using configured credentials. Instead of Infraon managing the messaging layer, the system:
Sends API requests to the external provider
Uses provider-managed templates
Handles delivery via the provider’s infrastructure
Difference | Infraon vs 3rd Party Integration
Infraon Configuration
Uses Infraon-managed WhatsApp setup. No external API configuration required. Limited customization.
3rd Party Integration
Uses external WhatsApp provider APIs. Requires API credentials. Provides flexibility, control, and custom templates.
Add Configurations
The WhatsApp configuration screen allows you to set up integration with a third-party WhatsApp provider by entering API details and authentication credentials.
