Connecting a channel lets Sahut receive messages from that platform and route them to your inbox. You can connect multiple channels of the same type — for example, two WhatsApp numbers for different business units. Only Admin users can add or remove channels.

​
WhatsApp Business

Sahut connects to WhatsApp through the WhatsApp Business API. You need a WhatsApp Business API account — either through an official Business Solution Provider (BSP) or Meta directly.
1

Open channel settings

Go to Settings → Channels and click Tambah Channel (Add Channel), then select WhatsApp Business.
2

Enter your API credentials

Enter your WhatsApp Phone Number ID, WhatsApp Business Account ID, and Permanent Access Token from your Meta Business account.
3

Set the webhook

Copy the Webhook URL shown in Sahut and paste it into your Meta App settings under WhatsApp → Configuration → Webhook. Set the Verify Token to the value shown in Sahut.
4

Subscribe to message events

In your Meta App webhook settings, subscribe to the messages field to start receiving incoming messages.
5

Save and test

Click Simpan (Save) in Sahut. Send a test message to your WhatsApp number — it should appear in your inbox within seconds.
If you’re not familiar with the WhatsApp Business API, contact your BSP for your API credentials. Common BSPs in Indonesia include Qontak, Wati, and Zixflow.
