X2 - Whatsapp integration

[bizessence 1]

Hi Team,

 

Could you please advise if we can integrate X2 CRM to Whatsapp. The idea is to sync contacts.

Our current version: 5.4.3 X2CRM Platinum Edition.

 

Regards

I know that WA did not release API to developer, anyone know more ?

Yes, cobaltor is correct, WhatsApp has not released an API and does not intend to. There are some unofficial APIs, but they may be against the WA ToS and could be terminated at any time. They do however provide a URL scheme to use on mobile devices, so it may be possible to add some mobile integrations in the future. Please see the following pages for more details:

I haven't use this gb whatsapp yet but I think it would helpful to you to integrate WhatsApp API with x2 CRM easily or may be I am totally wrong.

That appears to be a rogue whatsapp 'replacement' that is sideloaded on a phone. From that site you linked to it states you should only run their app if security isn't a concern. 

AFAIK the only way to automate / connect whatsapp is to either get approved for their developer program for api access or run whatsapp web in something like Selenium.
