WhatsApp Voice Calling
WhatsApp Voice Calling lets your team place and receive voice calls right inside WhatsApp conversations. You don't need to move the customer to a phone call.
WhatsApp Voice Calling is in closed beta and works on the web app only for now.
Before you start
- Connect a WhatsApp Business number to your account.
- Turn on calling for the number in your WhatsApp settings.
- Use a browser with microphone access.
Receive a call
- When a customer calls on WhatsApp, a call alert appears in your account.
- Click Answer.
- The call is logged in the conversation when it ends.
Place a call
- Open the contact's WhatsApp conversation in Conversations.
- Click the call icon.
- WhatsApp may ask the customer for permission to receive calls first.
- Start the call once permission is given.
Tips
- Ask customers before calling them on WhatsApp.
- Use WhatsApp calls for quick help when the customer is already chatting with you.
