Integrating **WhatsApp** into a BPM process means every incoming message becomes a structured card in the same workflow as any other request — support, sales, recruiting — rather than a conversation living only on someone's phone. In **Jestor**, this connection is native, through the official **Meta** API.

Most companies already run part of their process through WhatsApp informally. Integration doesn't add a new channel — it structures the one that's already carrying real operational volume.

## What stays broken without structured integration

- WhatsApp conversations disconnected from the process they actually relate to
- No shared history when a conversation moves between team members
- No SLA visibility into how long a WhatsApp-based request takes to resolve
- Manual copy-paste from WhatsApp into whatever system tracks the process

## How WhatsApp fits into a structured BPM process

- Every new incoming message creates a card in the linked process automatically
- The card inherits the same stages, automations, and SLA tracking as any other card
- Attachments shared in the conversation populate the record's fields automatically
- Multiple numbers can feed different processes — support, sales, recruiting — separately

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- WhatsApp is native, connected via the official Meta API — no separate inbox tool
- Once a message becomes a card, it behaves exactly like any other process record
- AI Agents can respond within the same structure, with human-in-the-loop available
- Reporting includes WhatsApp-originated requests alongside every other channel

| Without structured integration | With WhatsApp inside BPM              |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| Conversation lives on a phone  | Becomes a structured, trackable card  |
| No SLA visibility              | Tracked the same as any other process |
