All messages and channel preferences are loaded into your own software with one single API. Programmable Conversations helps sync a customer’s conversation history so that no matter the channel, all the context appears in one, seamless thread, that is, you can create a single customer profile that stores every channel a customer have contacted you on. This puts the entire conversation history at your teams’ fingertips, cutting response times and streamlining workflows.\ \ **Save developer resources** Building and maintaining connections to separate communication channels like WhatsApp, WeChat, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger is complex, time-consuming and costly.
