Advanced APIs provide access to multi-step conversational messaging journeys that can make your workflow building more efficient. What’s the difference between simple APIs and advanced APIs? Simple API calls give you access to execute single steps. So, if you need to craft a multi-step messaging journey, you need to program those API calls individually within the workflow framework you are building. With Advanced APIs, you can get pre-built, customizable sequences that you can plugin and use to accelerate the automation of key business workflows.

Gupshup’s advanced API helps build compelling messaging experiences quickly. You can put into place a smooth workflow that lets you access multi-step conversational messaging capabilities.

Gupshup’s Advanced API capabilities

Gupshup’s REST APIs for omni-channel messaging

You can quickly build interactive services and messaging bots for any messaging channel using our REST APIs. Some of these APIs are common across multiple channels, while there are a few which are channel-specific. We have APIs that support both plain-text messaging as well as smart messaging formats. Smart messages are ideal for developers who want to build more advanced workflows.

Gupshup’s REST APIs for in-app messaging

With our REST APIs, you can also build interactive services and messaging bots to be used along with in-app messaging. However, these are primarily server-side in-app APIs that can be used only in conjunction with our client-side mobile and in-app web SDKs or with our Teamchat app. Teamchat includes native support for smart messages that help developers who wish to build advanced bots and workflows. You can even customize smart messages to build advanced bots.
