Sending documents, such as invoices and reports, directly from TallyPrime to parties and stakeholders is much easier now using TallyPrime with WhatsApp. To use this feature, you need to sign up for WhatsApp, by registering your contact number with WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) through an Interakt account. This topic explains the sign up process so that you can start using TallyPrime with WhatsApp.

To begin with, contact your Tally Partner to discuss about this feature in details. Raise a request from your Customer Portal to initiate the sign-up process. Your Tally Partner will receive the request and get your Interakt account created. With the help of your Partner, you can then add your contact number to register with WhatsApp Business Account (WABA). Up on successful registration, your Partner will activate your WhatsApp subscription.

The following is a pictorial representation of the Sign Up for WhatsApp process.
