How conversations land in Creatio
Setting up
Confirm WhatsApp is connected
In your OpenCX dashboard, confirm your WhatsApp number is listed and active. Send a test message and confirm the AI responds.
Confirm Creatio is connected
In Settings → Integrations, open Creatio. The status should show Active.
Trigger a test handoff
Send a WhatsApp message that causes the AI to escalate (e.g. “I need to speak with a person”). Alternatively, manually hand off the session from the Inbox.
What the rep sees
- A Creatio case with the conversation summary and customer’s WhatsApp contact info.
- The full transcript as individual case activities.
- AI-filled fields pre-populated on mapped fields.
- A View session in OpenCX link in the first activity.
- Replies posted in Creatio (via the webhook business process) reach the customer on WhatsApp.
Channel-specific details
24-hour messaging window
24-hour messaging window
WhatsApp enforces a 24-hour window from the customer’s last message. If the rep replies after the window closes, the message may not be delivered. Respond promptly or use a WhatsApp-approved template message to re-open the window.
Media and attachments
Media and attachments
Images, documents, and voice notes sent by the customer on WhatsApp are included in the conversation context. References to these appear in the case activities.
Contact identity
Contact identity
The customer’s WhatsApp phone number is used to match or create a contact in OpenCX. If the same number maps to an existing contact, the case is linked to that contact record.
