WhatsApp for customer support

You connect a WhatsApp number with a QR code, just like WhatsApp Web. Customer messages land in a shared queue, and several operators answer them from the same number.

Customer

Hi, can I switch to a different plan starting today?

Operator

Of course. I've switched it, and the difference will be adjusted on your next invoice.

One number for the whole team

No more handing the phone over at shift change or keeping a shared account open on someone else's computer. Each operator replies from SupportHub, and customers write to the same number as before.

Photos and files

Screenshots and documents from customers arrive in the ticket, including ones sent as disappearing messages. Operators can send an image or a file in reply.

One customer history

If a customer writes on WhatsApp and also on Telegram or by email, you can merge their contacts, and the conversations from every channel end up on one card.

How to connect

  1. 1

    Open the channel settings

    Settings → Channels → WhatsApp. Details

  2. 2

    Scan the QR code

    From the phone that uses the number: WhatsApp → Linked devices.

  3. 3

    Reply from SupportHub

    New messages show up in the inbox.

FAQ

Is this the official WhatsApp Business API?

No. The number connects as a linked device, the same way WhatsApp Web does. You don't need to register with Meta.

Does the phone have to stay on all the time?

No. But if the phone stays offline for about two weeks, WhatsApp unlinks the device. SupportHub will warn the owner, and scanning the QR code again is all it takes.
