Understanding WhatsApp SMS Fallback This presentation explores WhatsApp SMS Fallback, its necessity, and key concepts. Learn how businesses ensure reliable messaging for better customer engagement and communication continuity. WhatsApp SMS Fallback is a feature used in business messaging where, if a WhatsApp message fails to deliver (e.g., the recipient doesn¾t have WhatsApp or has no internet), the system automatically sends the same message via SMS. This ensures that important messages4like OTPs, alerts, confirmations, or reminders 4still reach the user, maintaining communication continuity. Businesses using the WhatsApp Business API often integrate SMS fallback to improve delivery success. For example, if a bank sends a transaction alert through WhatsApp and it¾s not delivered within a specific time (say 15 seconds), an automated system sends the same message through SMS instead. This dual- layer messaging system helps avoid missed communications, especially in countries where not everyone may use WhatsApp or have constant internet access. by Anantya Ai AA
