Improvement for WhatsApp integration via QR code in GoHighLevel
Dear GoHighLevel team, We are writing to you to request an improvement in the integration of the WhatsApp channel within the platform, in order to facilitate and optimize the use of this means of communication, so vital for the Latin American market. Currently, 99% of users in Latin America use WhatsApp as their main channel for business, and we have identified that many customers do not use the official API due to various limitations affecting their experience, such as: Official API restrictions: Limitations due to 24-hour inactivity rules and the need to use META-approved templates, which generates high costs for customers with a large volume of messages. High number rejection rate for the connection via the coexistence API, a problem that has been proven not to be present in the API without coexistence. Complexity in the current integration: The QR code connection, which many other CRMs in Latin America already offer (for example Whaticket or Kommo), allows for easier and faster integration, without the customer losing access to important functions, such as editing messages sent from the mobile app or direct access to the WhatsApp application on Windows or Mac. High costs of current options: It is very expensive for users in Latin America to pay between 40 and 50 dollars a month just to have WhatsApp functionality via QR code when using providers such as AppleVel, which limits their adoption and loyalty. Need for multi-user use with the same number: The impossibility of using several vendors or applications in the same number limits scalability and teamwork. For these reasons, we request that GoHighLevel consider implementing a QR code connection option for WhatsApp that is simple, fast and functional, and that maintains the essential features for a good user experience and multi-user support. We believe that this functionality would considerably increase customer satisfaction and would help to retain and attract new users who today migrate to other platforms due to these limitations. For example, despite being Meta partners, Kommo also has easy integration with QR. Thank you very much for your attention and we look forward to any questions or developments regarding this request. Other users are also asking for the same thing: https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/whatsapp/p/whatsapp-api-qr https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/ad-reporting-and-attribution/p/integracion-mas-sencilla-de-whatsapp-qr-code https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/ad-reporting-and-attribution/p/whatsapp-por-qr-code https://ideas.gohighlevel.com/whatsapp/p/whatsapp-web-connection-using-qr-code-by-scanning Kind regards,

WhatsApp integration support for links/images on inbound messages when sent by the ACTION button on a facebook page post. (it's currently text only)
HOW IT WORKS WITH STANDARD WHATSAPP: Using a standard whatsapp account you can add the whatsapp button to your facebook business page AND have it as an ACTION button for the viewers to contact about a post (see screenshot 1) When they click ACTION it prefills with the link to the facebook post (as a link) and defaults the WhatsApp message to 'Can I get more info on this?has' (see screenshot 2) When you click 'continue to chat' it opens whatsapp and starts a new message with the default text AND includes the link to the post. (see screenshot 3). When it's sent it's very clear to the recipient which facebook post they are referring to. (see screenshot 4) HOW IT WORKS USING GHL/WHATSAPP INTEGRATION If I have a facebook page using my GHL/LC WhatsApp number as the contact and action buttons, it appears to work in the same way (same as screenshots 1, 2, 3) BUT The message received in GHL does not bring through the facebook post link - it just has the text part of the whatsapp message - Which is not very useful as you don't know which facebook post it was referring to. (see screenshot 5) It's not even mentioned in the message details either (click 3 dots and select details) (see screenshot 6) Given in GHL we can create whatsapp templates with links, images, videos etc to send OUTBOUND - then hopefully it's not too much of a stretch to have the same link/attachment style support for INBOUND messages too (which come from the facebook ACTION button linked to GHL/LC/WA account) (see comparison 'screenshot 7)
