With Custom Templates, you can streamline chatbot development, maintain consistency, and accelerate time-to-value while improving best practices across departments or regions. 

BFSI – Use templates to create secure, compliant chatbots for customer support and transaction inquiries.

Email Inbound Parsing: Streamline Your Email Management 

Managing and categorizing a high volume of inbound emails can be daunting, but Email Inbound Parsing makes it easier than ever. We are automatically parsing your emails and sending the structured data to the specified destination via webhook. With this, you can streamline and automate the processing of incoming email data.

Check out how communication is enhanced for you and your customers:

  • Customer support: Automatically convert customer emails into support tickets.   
  • Sales: Process order confirmations or inquiries and capture leads from email inquiries.   
  • Marketing: Extract data from newsletter replies or survey feedback.   
  • Operations: Parse tracking numbers, courier information, and delivery status updates. 

Voice WebSocket Endpoint: Simplifying AI-Powered Call Handling

Our latest update simplifies AI-powered call handling, making it more flexible. Adding WebSocket endpoints as a destination option in Call Routing allows businesses to connect inbound calls directly to AI agents without a custom API-based application.

If AI agents are unavailable or unable to process the call, Call Routing’s failover capabilities ensure reliability by redirecting calls to alternative destinations, such as a phone number, SIP trunk, or any other supported Call Routing endpoint. 

BFSI can use this for AI-powered fraud prevention and automated customer support, while retail can implement AI-driven order status updates and customer inquiries. 

Zalo URL Shortening and Tracking: Enhancing CTRs 

Although Zalo does not support URL tracking or shortening, we have found a way to bridge this gap, adding significant value by enabling you better performance tracking and engagement insights while using the Zalo Notification Service.

With this new update, you can:   

  • Measure the effectiveness of customer campaigns: You can now  monitor engagement by tracking URL clicks within Zalo ZNS messages.   
  • Optimize messaging strategies: You can understand how recipients interact with messages, helping refine communication strategies.   
  • Better readability: Shortened URLs allow for a cleaner message layout, reducing character usage while maintaining readability.   
  • Increase Click-through rates: By integrating URLs, you can motivate customers to click, thereby improving engagement metrics. 

Retailers can track customer engagement on promotions, while BFSI can monitor interactions with financial advisory or loan offers. 

Payments for WhatsApp Business Platform: Quick Pay Mode

Quick Pay Mode simplifies payments for the WhatsApp Business Platform, making transactions straightforward for you and your customers. With it, you can hide “Review And Pay” button, and only display the “Pay Now” button in the order-details message, and allow end-users to finalize the purchase in seconds.* 
 
*Currently available in India only.
