Send and Receive SMS within Salesforce SMS is a great way for companies to connect to their customers or leads and should be included in all communication strategies be it Sales, Service or Marketing. SMS has a 100% chance of reaching the customers compared to an email which often has to go through a lot of spam filters before reaching the customers. Salesforce’s sales cloud or service cloud doesn’t have an inbuilt feature of SMS to connect with their contacts and this is where third-party tools or apps come into the picture for you to be able to use SMS as a communication medium in Salesforce.

In this article, I will be sharing my findings with pros and cons for each method and also the best solution out there in the market. Basically, there are 2 ways to integrate WhatsApp (in fact any app) with Salesforce: The traditional way of doing it – “API Integration” Find an App from AppExchange WhatsApp API Integration Using  WhatsApp Business API  providers, you can directly integrate with SOAP or REST APIs.
