- Multiple WhatsApp # for each user
- General Settings
This option will be managed from Other Settings > WhatsApp configuration > Gear Icon > Find General Settings. - In the General Settings we configure the Country code, WhatsApp Window View, Show Unknown Message and Show status to see if it is active or not.
- Country Code
This is an important setting before you start using WhatsApp integration. WhatsApp Store phone number with Country Code It means if your phone number is 6308618263 and Country code is +1 then the WhatsApp store number as “16308618263”. If you’ve got a record of having a phone number without a country code then follow the instructions below.
- WhatsApp phone number without country code in Records : In this scenario enter country code, if you want to apply country code as a prefix to all “Phone numbers” of all modules where you’ve enabled WhatsApp Integration. So whenever a WhatsApp message is sent out from the CRM it will add a Prefix because WhatsApp requires “Country Code” to send a message to a contact.
For example : If the connected phone number is “987654321” and the country code is “+1” then WhatsApp number becomes “1987654321” - Record with country code as a prefix : If you already saved a record/phone number with country code then In this scenario keep the country code field “Blank”.
- WhatsApp Window View
SalesHiker’s WhatsApp integration allows their users to configure the WhatsApp window in Right to Left view which is mostly preferable in the middle east countries. SalesHiker by default supports the Left to Right view. - Show an Unknown Message
If a WhatsApp message has been sent by a customer whose number is not in the CRM as a Record and if you want to allow all non-admin users to see those numbers then enable this feature. So all non-admin users can see those messages by clicking on the Global WhatsApp icon and seeing them under “Message from Unknown numbers. - Active Status
This option allows you to show WhatsApp status. If you select the checkbox then it will show your status as active when you are active on the WhatsApp otherwise it will not show anything. - Notification Tone
As per our requirements we change the WhatsApp notification tone and if we want then we can also mute the WhatsApp notification by selecting the silent option. - WhatsApp Push Notification
If this option is enabled then User will receive Push notification on the user’s device when a message is received from the contact. - Bot Ideal Time
This option will work if the user selects 5 minutes as Bot Ideal Time and Conversation mode is in Manual mode and if the user is not sending any new message within 5 minutes from last sent message then Conversation mode will change to Robotic mode automatically. (It will automatically enable Robotic mode if the difference b/w sending Message from CRM and receiving message is more than Bot Ideal Time).
- Auto Message Responder
- This option will be managed from Other Settings > WhatsApp configuration > Gear Icon > Auto Message ResponderIt is helpful to give answers to messages automatically. It means you have just written a message which will be sent automatically to the sender.
Customers received messages from auto responder message text automatically the first time or after 14 days of no activity.
- Mass Message Configuration
- This option will be managed from Other Settings > WhatsApp configuration > Gear Icon > find Mass Message Configuration
Batch size allows the user to send mass messages in a batch of messages to avoid Spamming. - Example : If you wish to send 500 messages and if you set a batch size of 15 and Time Interval of 15 minutes. Then it will send 15 messages in each batch based on the Time Interval calculated below.
- Time to send 500 messages = (500 messages / 15 Batch size) * 15 minutes = 500 minutes = 8 Hours Approximately.
- Random : Random selection dynamically select any number from 1 to 25 as a batch size when sending message to customer, It means if there are 500 messages to send and Batch Size – Random than it will send 5 messages in the first Batch, 8 messages in the second Batch and so on..

How to use WhatsApp for SalesHiker ?
- WhatsApp Integration with SalesHiker gives you the flexibility to send WhatsApp messages to your customers.
- You can send WhatsApp messages to multiple records in one shot(obviously you’ve to follow WhatsApp guidelines for the same).
- In addition to manually sending out messages, you can also forward automatic notifications triggered by workflows in SalesHiker CRM.
Recommendation on Sending WhatsApp Messages
- Since Watsapp is very skeptical about numbers that do bulk mailing, the following are recommendations:
- Send no more than 5-10 messages per minute, i.e. send messages in batches, not all at once.
- Take into account the reaction of users to the message. Usually, 10 clicks on the “Spam” button
- From the client side it is enough for the number to be blocked.
- The presence of links in messages increases the likelihood of a ban.
- WhatsApp has no physical limit on the number of messages, as per their policy but there is a recommendation not to exceed certain messages per day. Again this will be as per the WhatsApp Policy, if the number of incoming and outgoing messages is about the same, then you can send a little more than 6000.
- Use the device on which there were no earlier bans.
- Receive incoming messages. The more incoming messages, the better. Incoming messages are not counted in the recommendation not to exceed 6000 messages.
