# 3rd Party Integration

The WhatsApp Marketplace integration allows sending notifications via WhatsApp using either:

* [**Infraon Configuration**](/infraon-help/infinity-user-guide/marketplace/whatsapp.md) (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**
