Hi Stewart, in our business we have 4 staff members who would want to have access to messages coming into the business app so that the customers enquiries can be dealt with by whom ever is available. Is this possible? TIA Gemma

[@StewartGauld]

Yes this is possible. I believe any more than four and you will need to use the API.

[@jessepadilla5919]

Thakns for the toutorial. Do customers have to subscribe to what's app for marketing in the same way SMS works? If I have a cohort of 800, can I send a message about an sale in progress or new arrivals?

Hey! Unfortunately not.

Really useful. Question - If i have whatsapp business on my phone and a number of my employees also have it on their phone. If the buisness account is called does it ring on all 4 phones or how does that work? Thanks for any guidance
