Today all your consumers can be reached via different messaging apps. These messaging apps are the most widely used platforms by customers and brands alike. If your brand connects with them via messaging on the channels they are already on; it is easier to acquire them as customers, sell them products and services, and support them post-sale. Integrating with Gupshup’s Single API for messaging is the best way to go about this. Engage your customers on ALL the messaging channel(s) they are on.

Interact and transact with your customers seamlessly across 30+ messaging channels using Gupshup’s Single API for Messaging.

Get started

Start building your messaging API for free with Gupshup. Although several free messaging APIs are available, they offer limited functionality that doesn’t scale well as a company grows.

With this API, you can send and receive messages to and from customers across countries via any messaging app. The API is easy to deploy and complies fully with all data security and privacy regulations. We are trusted by the world’s largest brands like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Google, Citibank, HSBC, Khan Academy, Walmart, OLA, OYO, Unilever, Dishtv, etc. We deliver 6 billion messages per month, and our single API enables 100k + customers and developers.
