Add a WhatsApp Messaging Provider Account

You need to add and activate a messaging provider account that can be used for WhatsApp communications. It's also required to have a WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) set up on the messaging service provider platform. This business account could be procured through the messaging service provider or directly from Meta.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
    • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
    • Functional Area: Recruiting and Candidate Experience Management
    • Task: Recruiting Messaging Configuration
  2. In the WhatsApp Messaging Providers section, click Add.
  3. Enter a name and description.
  4. In the Provider list, the name of the messaging provider is preselected, as Syniverse is the only provider supported for now.
  5. Enter info related to the messaging provider account in the remaining sections. For more information, see the document Adding a WhatsApp Messaging Provider on My Oracle Support (Document ID 3101136.1).
    Note: For processing outbound messages, the messaging provider's API is expected to return the response in JSON format. To ensure smooth processing of these messages, we recommend that you include the Accept header in the Headers section and specify its value as application/json.
  6. Click Save and Close.
