FAQs
1. What is the WebEngage–BIK integration?
This integration allows WebEngage users to send WhatsApp messages using BIK as the official WhatsApp Business Service Provider (BSP). Once connected, you can manage and send campaigns directly through WebEngage using your verified WhatsApp Business Account.
2. Who can use this integration?
Any WebEngage user with a verified WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) and an active BIK account can use this integration to reach their customers on WhatsApp.
3. Is it necessary to complete WhatsApp onboarding in BIK before integration?
Yes. The WhatsApp onboarding for your business phone number must be completed in BIK before you can use it as a provider in WebEngage. This ensures the number is approved and ready to send messages.
4. Where do I find my WebEngage credentials (App ID, Partner, Authorization key)?
You can find these details in your WebEngage dashboard under Integrations → WhatsApp. Copy these credentials and paste them into the respective fields in the BIK Integrations page.
5. Why do I need to recreate templates in WebEngage after creating them in BIK?
BIK is the BSP that manages WhatsApp templates and approvals. WebEngage needs a mirror copy of the template (same name and structure) to send messages successfully through BIK. Any mismatch can cause delivery failures.
7. How do I ensure my templates match between BIK and WebEngage?
When creating the template in WebEngage, use the exact same name, text, and variable structure as in BIK. You can copy the template name directly from BIK by clicking View Details → ⋮ → Copy Template Name.
