Customers will message wherever they already are. The operational risk is a sales or support conversation that never leaves a personal device.
Put identity and consent first
Know who the number belongs to and whether they asked to be contacted on that channel. Templates and opt-out are part of the design, not a later policy document.
Route inbound messages into the same queues as chat and email so coverage is a team problem, not a hero problem.
Log the thread where the rest of the work lives
If the CRM cannot show that a WhatsApp conversation happened, the next agent will ask the customer to repeat themselves.
UHM Tech treats messaging as another CX channel with CRM integration, not as a side app.
