WhatsApp: how the channel is activated

oxpea manages your WhatsApp Business number and its technical keys: you do not need to create anything on Meta. Your part is requesting the activation and deciding, once it is active, whether the AI concierge replies on its own.

Who does what

oxpea registers your hotel’s WhatsApp number, verifies it with Meta, and maintains the technical connection. You do not enter any keys: in Configuración → Tu web y los canales → Conexiones you only see the connection status and two switches.

  1. 1

    Request activation

    Write to oxpea support to activate your hotel’s WhatsApp channel.

  2. 2

    Prepare your knowledge base

    The AI concierge needs your details (opening hours, rules, services) before replying on its own; it is filled in at Configuración → Comunicación con el huésped → WhatsApp.

  3. 3

    Turn on the channel

    In Configuración → Tu web y los canales → Conexiones, the "Channel active" switch turns your hotel’s incoming messages on or off.

  4. 4

    Decide on automatic replies

    The "AI automatic reply" switch lets the concierge answer on its own; only turn it on once your knowledge base is complete.

Important

While automatic replies are off, messages arrive in your inbox and your team answers them by hand.

Tips

  • Test the concierge with a real question before turning on automatic replies: that way you spot gaps in your knowledge base.
