WATI

Overview

Sortment lets you send broadcast messages via your existing WATI account. It is required to set up / have a WATI account before configuring the same on Sortment.

Set up your WATI account on Sortment

  1. Navigate to channels

  2. Under WhatsApp channel, select WATI as the provider / integration

  3. Add the following details

    1. Access token

    2. API endpoint

You can find both of these in your WATI dashboard under API docs

  1. Fetch your Admin access token of the Meta account linked with the phone number being used on WATI

Why is this needed ? This allows Sortment to fetch the templates created against your WATI account from Meta directly. Sortment will use these imported templates to send messages in journeys / campaigns as per requirements.

  1. Log in to business.facebook.com

  2. Navigate to Settings -> Users -> System Users

  3. Create an admin system user by clicking on the "Add icon" in the sub-nav bar

    1. Give a user name and assign System user role as admin

If you already have created an admin system user, Meta will not allow you to create another. In this case, you will have to share the created admin system user token with Sortment
