How to Manage Multiple WhatsApp Numbers per Department

To manage multiple WhatsApp numbers, each number is linked to its own table, so every department runs its own process on its own line while the whole thing sits on one account.

Why a single shared number breaks down

One number works until two different kinds of conversation arrive on it.

  • Support requests and sales enquiries in the same queue
  • The wrong team seeing conversations they should not
  • No way to report on one area separately from another
  • Routing done by whoever happens to read the message first

How to configure it in Jestor

  1. Add each WhatsApp number to Jestor through the Meta connection flow.
  2. Link each number to the specific table for that process.
  3. Set permissions so each team sees only its own conversations.
  4. Choose which templates are available on each number's process.
  5. Set a distinct chat background colour per process to tell them apart at a glance.

Why choose Jestor for multi-number WhatsApp?

Jestor supports multiple numbers on the same account, each tied to its own process — so a growing company adds a line rather than reorganizing a shared inbox.

The number in use is displayed at the top of the conversation, which removes the common mistake of replying to a customer from the wrong department's line.
