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.
