Sending individual chats to Slack
To send all chats arriving on the WhatsApp number named RDM, to the Slack channel named #whatsapp-chats, you can do the following:
Select your WhatsApp number
Select the target Slack channel. If you haven't created the channel yet, check out the next step.
If you need to connect to a private Slack channel, check out this tutorial.
If you need to create the channel on Slack first, do that, and then return to this screen and click on Refresh Slack channels. Return to the previous step to select it.
Finalize the configuration by clicking on Save Changes.
If everything went fine, you should see a message 2Chat sends confirming the link.
Testing the integration
You will now start receiving your WhatsApp chats on Slack. You can try it by sending a message to your connected number.
To reply to messages, you can use the Reply button or start a thread. Everything you reply inside the thread will be forwarded to WhatsApp. Anything outside the thread will be ignored.
Replies in the conversation thread will be forwarded to WhatsApp.
And from WhatsApp's point of view, this is what your customer will see on their WhatsApp application after initially sending "This is a test".
