Messaging starts
with the foundations.

Account setup, useful message design and the right integration. The scope follows your business and your tools.

SMS Messaging Platform
Official platform setup

Plan the account, business number and integration route around your existing setup. We support onboarding and the required configuration; eligibility and reviews remain with Meta.

Templates & customer replies

Prepare useful templates, organise their categories and support the review process. Build reply flows around the customer service window and your business requirements.

Shared team inbox

Give your team a place to handle conversations, assign ownership and carry context into the next response. Inbox features depend on the solution selected.

CRM & webhook integration

Connect supported CRM and operational tools. Map relevant events, contact context and follow-up tasks, with clear access and ownership.

Interactive customer journeys

Use supported reply buttons, lists and media to make the next step easier. Plan the conversation and when it should hand over to a person.

Privacy & operational controls

Agree consent handling, access, retention and escalation. Build around WhatsApp policies, the selected tools and your organisation’s requirements.

What is 2-Way SMS?

Two-way SMS is a bidirectional messaging service where businesses can both send and receive text messages using a dedicated number — either a long code (a standard 10-digit number) or a short code (a 5–6 digit number for high-volume use). Unlike one-way bulk SMS, two-way SMS enables real conversations: customers can reply, opt in, ask questions, or confirm appointments directly via text.

What you get

Dedicated Long Codes

Personalised 10-digit numbers for 1-to-1 customer conversations and local presence.

High-Volume Short Codes

5-6 digit numbers for mass campaigns, voting, competitions and opt-in collection.

Inbound Message Webhooks

Receive inbound replies via webhook and process them in your CRM or workflow.

Keyword Auto-Responses

Set automated replies triggered by specific keywords (STOP, HELP, YES, INFO).

Conversation Threading

All messages per number are threaded for a clean conversation view.

Opt-In/Out Management

Automatic STOP handling and opt-out list management for compliance.

How businesses use it

Appointment BookingPatients or clients confirm, cancel or reschedule appointments by replying to a text.
Surveys & FeedbackPost-service surveys that customers complete via text reply — higher completion rates than email.
Lead QualificationProspects reply to an initial message and are routed based on their response.
Delivery ConfirmationCustomers confirm receipt, report issues or request re-delivery by text.

How is the API different from the WhatsApp Business app?

The Business Platform provides APIs for integrations and scaled messaging workflows. A shared inbox, automation and CRM connections are built or provided through the selected solution.

Do we need templates for every reply?

Replies to a user message can be sent without a template within the 24-hour customer service window. Outside that window, the Platform requires approved message templates. Recipient permission and other policy requirements still apply.

Is a verification badge included?

No. Business verification and verification badges are separate processes. Any badge or account eligibility is controlled by Meta and is not guaranteed by this service.

Can you connect our CRM or existing inbox?

We review supported APIs, account features and available access. The integration scope is agreed around the tools your team uses.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on the implementation, selected provider or software, usage and applicable Meta charges. We scope these for your setup; no fixed platform price is claimed in this preview.

Will this demonstration send a WhatsApp message?

No. The message workspace, inbox and enquiry form are local previews. Live sending requires a configured account, the appropriate permissions and an agreed implementation.
