Before you connect
Questions about Gupshup.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use Gupshup Messaging to send images to customers?
Yes, you can. The Connector lets your agent send images, videos, and documents as rich media messages. Just provide a public URL, and the agent handles the rest.
Does this work for standard text messages too?
It works for free-form text messages within the 24-hour window of an active conversation. For messages outside that window, you'll need to use a pre-approved template.
Can my AI agent send buttons in WhatsApp?
Yes. You can use the interactive message capability to send up to three buttons. This is great for giving customers clear choices like Yes or No.
Do I need to host my files online for this to work?
Yes, for media messages like images or PDFs, you need to provide a public URL. The Connector sends the link to WhatsApp so the user can view it.
How do I know which template parameters to use?
You can ask your agent to check the template info first. It will pull the specific requirements for a template so you don't have to guess.
Can I use this for marketing alerts?
Absolutely. It's a common way to send out notifications, alerts, and marketing messages using pre-approved WhatsApp templates.
How do I get my Gupshup API Key?
Log in to your Gupshup Console, navigate to Apps > Your App > Settings, and copy your API Key.
Can I send free text messages?
Yes, but only within the 24-hour session window after the user messages you first.
Do I need to pre-approve templates?
Yes, template messages must be approved by Meta before they can be sent via the send_template_message capability.
