Connect WhatsApp with Microsoft 365 and Outlook

Integrating WhatsApp with Microsoft 365 and Outlook can be a real game-changer for businesses.  

‍

WhatsApp is the world’s most popular messaging app, with over 2 billion users, and it’s not just for personal chats, many businesses rely on it to stay connected with clients. At the same time, Microsoft 365 is used by over 2 million companies worldwide, making it a core tool for business communication. With both platforms playing such a big role in how businesses and clients interact, bringing them together makes perfect sense.

‍

Businesses across all sectors are increasingly relying on WhatsApp to communicate with clients. In fact, for many it is becoming their preferred method of communication as clients love the convenience and speed of WhatsApp. But when messages are handled on standalone devices or personal phones, challenges arise - conversations get lost, team members don’t have full visibility, and important client interactions aren’t always stored properly. This can lead to compliance issues, security risks, and slower response times.

‍

Integrating WhatsApp with Microsoft 365 and Outlook solves these problems by keeping all client messages in one place, making them accessible to the right people, and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks – all whilst offering clients a great service they will love.

‍

Plus, the ClientWindow Outlook Add-In makes starting WhatsApp conversations even easier by allowing users to send new messages directly from within Outlook. With the Add-In, you can quickly find the right WhatsApp contact and start a new chat—no need to switch platforms or leave your inbox. It’s a streamlined experience that keeps everything in one place, even when messaging via WhatsApp.

The ClientWindow Outlook Add-In: Find WhatsApp Contacts and Send Messages from Outlook

The ClientWindow Outlook Add-In makes starting a new WhatsApp conversation as easy as sending an email.

Now, with the Outlook Add-In, users can select a WhatsApp contact directly within Outlook and send a new message without leaving their inbox. It’s a small feature with a big impact, bringing the full WhatsApp conversation flow into Outlook for seamless, efficient, and compliant client communication.
