Whitelist testers

Out of the various mechanisms provided by Gupshup, choose any to whitelist your testers (end users) depending on your usecase. To test session messaging, get active users (they may be opted/non opted in) and to test template messages, get opted-in users (they may be active/inactive).

Whitelist testers
Test the tool

Use any of the mechanisms to reach the tool for testing, if required. You can switch on/off live chat mode as required and send messages to active users. You can also set automated responses and FAQ bot from 'Settings' and test the behaviour.

Note: If you wish to test after you have consumed your free credits, recharge your wallet first.

Once you are done with testing and want to go live, make sure you have a verified Facebook Business Manager ID in place. Once you do, hit the 'Go live' button on the respective app from dashboard and follow the required steps.

These details will be submitted to WhatsApp for their approval. Once all approvals are received your phone number will be verified and your app will be live.
