Email, SMS, WhatsApp and Telegram is able to be connected in the dashboard and used in the omnichannel inbox. Telephony is available as a separate channel, but its activation control is restricted to Master Admin.

SMS relies on Twilio. Email relies on IMAP and SMTP, not Gmail or Outlook OAuth. Each channel is best advised to be tested individually with controlled data prior to normal use.

An active connection does not guarantee every delivery. Provider errors, recipient data and rules may still block a message. Record channel, direction, time and status when diagnosing a failure.

WhatsApp costs EUR 39 per month and requires manual activation. SIP telephony costs EUR 49 per month and is also manually activated. Tokens and credentials is required to remain secret.
