Integrating WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams can be transformative for both internal and external communications. More businesses than ever are using Microsoft Teams as their central hub for communication. With over 320 million monthly active users, it has become a key tool for both internal collaboration and external client interactions. At the same time, WhatsApp remains the world’s most popular messaging app, with over 2 billion users globally.

Many businesses rely on WhatsApp to communicate with clients because it’s fast, direct, and convenient. However, managing WhatsApp messages on standalone devices creates operational challenges, as conversations get lost, team members don’t have full visibility of conversations, and important client messages may not be properly stored. This can lead to missed opportunities, compliance risks, and delays in response times.

By integrating WhatsApp with Microsoft Teams, businesses can centralise all client communication, making it easier to track messages without switching between apps or inboxes.
