Technical specifications
Supported operating systems and devices
The Business Messages app supports Android 6.0 or higher. The app supports all Android devices except Huawei devices.
Messaging process
Register chat entry points to enable end users to communicate with your business. When end users search for your company through Google Search or Google Maps, they will be able to respond to a chat call-to-action within the search results.
Messages from the end user are routed through a webhook to Infobip for processing. The webhook is registered as a JSON payload.
Depending on the status of the conversation, messages from the end user are routed either to the Conversations module for a live agent or to the Answers module if you have a chatbot enabled.
The messages that you send to the end user are routed over the Business Messages API.
Chats can take place over either Android or iOS (with Google Maps installed).
