We have released this feature that enables Loyalty notification in WhatsApp.
WhatsApp for Loyalty Notifications
In several countries, WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app with high levels of engagement and penetration. Now brand's customers can receive Loyalty Notifications as WhatsApp message.
Prerequisites
The following are the prerequisites for a brand to start with loyalty notification.
- The brand needs to have a verified Facebook Business Manager Account. This procedure takes between 5 to 20 working days for Facebook to verify the paperwork submitted by the brand.Most brands already have a verified Facebook Business Manager Account.
- Once the brand has a verified account, they have to fill out an onboarding form to create an enterprise WhatsApp account and whitelist templates.
- A complete guide to set up an enterprise WhatsApp account and configure Loyalty notifications is available below as an attachment.
Basic Capabilities
The following are the basic capabilities that Capillary supports.
- Consent Capture
- Loyalty Notifications
Consent Capture
WhatsApp mandates that only customers who have provided the Opt-ins will be targeted on the app.
The V2 Subscription APIs are used to capture Opt-ins on POS, Website/Ecommerce sites, IVR Flows, Missed Calls, and more. Opt-ins can also capture through Outbound Campaigns by redirecting the user to the brand's WhatsApp account as well.
The different options and the effort required to capture WhatsApp is available below as an attachment.
Loyalty Notifications
WhatsApp messages will be triggered for Registration, Transaction, Points, and Tier related events as loyalty notification.
The list of events and the supported tags are available below as an attachment.
