Integrating WhatsApp Business makes interacting with customers easy by providing tools to automate, sort, and quickly respond to messages. It's also intended to feel and work just like WhatsApp Messenger. You can use it to do everything that you're used to doing, from messaging to sending photos.

...

with Chat for JSM empowers your clients to submit their queries directly via WhatsApp, while enabling your support teams to manage those requests seamlessly within Jira.

This integration requires configuration on both ends: you will need to create an app on the Meta side and incorporate the required parameters from that app into the Chat for JSM settings in your Jira.
