FAQPage Schema
Why do my WhatsApp mentions fail to send push notifications?▼

WhatsApp mentions fail to trigger notifications when they lack the correct phone-number-based JID syntax. Properly formatting user tags with the specific JID ensures push notifications are successfully delivered to the recipient.

How do I format text for WhatsApp using markdown?▼

To format text for WhatsApp, standard markdown must be converted into WhatsApp-native single-character delimiters for bold, italic, and monospace text to render correctly.

What is the correct way to mention a user in a WhatsApp group chat via an agent?▼

The correct way to mention a user in a WhatsApp group chat is by tagging them with their phone-number-based JID. This ensures the mention triggers a notification rather than sending a plain-text message that fails to alert them.

Does WhatsApp formatting apply to both 1-on-1 and group chat automated responses?▼

Yes, WhatsApp formatting applies to automated agent responses in both 1-on-1 and group chat contexts. This ensures correct message styling and notification delivery where critical alerts are needed.

What are the limitations of WhatsApp single-character text styling?▼

The limitation of WhatsApp text styling is that it requires native single-character delimiters instead of standard markdown. Failing to convert markdown syntax will cause messages to render incorrectly for recipients.
