Please Note

• This document only covers how you can integrate Gupshup as a WhatsApp Service Provider in WebEngage. Please refer to Gupshup's WhatsApp documentation for further details on their services.
• This integration only works for Gupshup Enterprise accounts, and not for Gupshup self- service accounts. For Gupshup self-service, kindly try out Private WSP integration.

Configuring WhatsApp Service Provider

Following are the steps that will enable you to add the WhatsApp Service Provider to the list of WSPs offered by WebEngage.

Step 1: Add WhatsApp Service Provider (WSP)

Click on the Add WhatsApp Service Provider (WSP) button to add the service provider. In doing so, you will be prompted by a configuration modal. Select Gupshup from the dropdown against the WhatsApp Service Provider (WSP).

Step 2: Configuration Name

Adding a name enables you to identify the appropriate WSP for a campaign while creating it. This comes in handy, especially when you have multiple accounts with the same WSP.

Step 3: Add WhatsApp Business Number

Kindly specify the verified phone number that you'll be using to send all your WhatsApp campaigns in this field.

Step 4: Add Username & Password

Navigate to your Gupshup dashboard to find your credentials. Paste them in the configuration modal and click Add WSP to save details.

Step 5: Add WebEngage Webhook URL in Gupshup Dashboard (Highly Recommended)

Adding the WebEngage Webhook in Gupshup will enable us to receive delivery status notifications for each user. This includes campaign performance indicators like the message delivered, failed, and queued.

Here's how you can go about it:
Step 5.1: As shown below, you will find your Gupshup integration under your WhatsApp Service Provider List section.

Step 5.2: Click the overflow menu placed on the extreme right, click View Webhook URL, and copy it.

Step 5.3: Paste the WebEngage Webhook URL under the relevant field in your Gupshup dashboard and click Save. Please connect with your Gupshup Account Manager for further assistance.
