The email notification will only be sent if the agent is not logged into the tool at the time the message is received. Email notifications will only work if the agent has enabled them at https://app.messengerpeople.com/profile/system-settings.

Please make sure to actively log out of the tool and not just close the tab or browser. Only then an email notification can be sent.

Please also check your spam folder. Otherwise, please check with your internal IT department whether [email protected] can be whitelisted.

The push notifications only work if you are logged in to the tool and are currently working in another browser tab. In this case, a “pop-up” appears briefly in the lower right corner when a new message appears. Please check in your browser and Windows settings if you allow browser pushes from https://app.messengerpeople.com/.

How to change these settings in your tool can be found here.

In our promotion tool you have the possibility to create as many different widgets as you need. However, we recommend that you do not use more than 30 widgets at a time, so as not to slow down the system unnecessarily. Also, occasionally check which widgets are no longer in use and delete them from the system.

We offer three different widgets in our platform – Cube, Card and Chip widget.

If you don’t want MessengerPeople’s copyright to be displayed, then use the Cube widget. The other two widgets have our copyright.

Alternatively you have the possibility to create your own, customized widget. However, we can not support you in this, please contact your own IT department.

You can change the payment method yourself within your account under Settings -> Account -> Information.

The email address of an agent cannot be changed. You must delete the existing agent and create a new agent with the desired email address.

In order to better investigate the error with the agent status display: “online/offline” we need your support and information.

Which browser and browser version do you use for the MCP?
Which operating system do you use?

To check if your firewall blocks certain functions of our platform, please open the following link in your browser: https://www.websocket.org/echo.html

Do you see: “This browser supports WebSocket”?
If you click on the Connect button,
does the result window show: “Connected”?

When you click on the Send button,
does the result window show: “send” and “received”?

Please check the following settings with your IT department:
HTTPS port 443 must be allowed for the website (MCP).
The update stream (stream.messengerpeople.dev) must use the WSS (Web Socket Secure) protocol must be allowed for port 443.

Tip:

The problem may also be due to the proxy being miscalculated.
The firewall may also affect the offline/online status.

Please send a screenshot of the websocket result to: [email protected].

In general, it is possible to use a tollfree / 0800 number, but please note the following: normally tollfree / 0800 numbers cannot receive calls from abroad, i.e. the tollfree / 0800 number is then unreachable for the verification code.

As an alternative, some telecommunication companies offer internationally valid tollfree / 0800 numbers. Depending on the telephone service provider, it is also possible to whitelist individual numbers and thus receive the verification call. Alternatively, a forwarding of the call number can be set up. It is imperative that this is clarified prior to the verification process. MessengerPeople unfortunately has no influence on the reception of the verification calls.

You need to make sure that the number remains active, i.e. recharge a prepaid phone occasionally or make sure that the contract continues if it is a contract number.

A Click To Chat consists of a URL + phone number + text.

Just try it out: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=4989416173170&text=More%20Information%20about%20this%20topic%20please.

Just change the phone number and enter your text.

No. WhatsApp Business API does not currently support any of the above options.

It is important that the Apple ID is linked to a company email address.

Yes, for sending news, updates or advertising content via notification.

Yes. Apple insists that rich links and list pickers or time pickers are integrated to ensure a better customer journey.

No, unfortunately this is not possible.

We can move your Telegram bot from one channel to another channel for you. For this we need the Telegram bot name, as well as the Telegram token to store both in our system and thus connect the Telegram bot.

Unfortunately, if your Telegram bot is deleted, you will have to create a new bot and start over.

Therefore, make sure that it doesn’t get deleted in the first place by regularly communicating via Telegram with the phone number on which the bot is created.

Yes, it is possible to set the chatbot to automatically forward the customer’s request to an agent if the customer has already described his request.

You can find a detailed Helpcenter article here.

Yes, this is possible, but the target channel must be completely empty.

Just contact [email protected].

Yes, that is possible. You can find a more detailed description here.

On our status page you can see the current status in case of any disruptions.

Here you can register to be proactively informed by us in case of short-term disruptions and as soon as they are fixed again:

Because a ticket can be solved several times.

If a ticket is processed and solved by an agent on the early shift and the user then contacts the agent again and reopens the same ticket, then the agent on the late shift can solve this ticket again. This means that a ticket has been solved twice.

When you send a content via MIA, this message appears under “published content”. Here you will also see the following statistics:

Reach Teaser: To all users who use WhatsApp in conjunction with Notify.
Reach content: To all users who have reached the content directly via all messengers (Notify, Telegram, ABC, etc.) except WhatsApp.
Clicks: The total number of clicks on the link contained in the MIA content.
Click rate: Percentage of subscribers who clicked on the link.

In most languages, the logout word for MIA content is the same – which is ‘Stop’.
Additionally, we also support the Arabic, Japanese and Cyrillic word for it.

If you need the logout word in another language, please contact your contact person at

[email protected]

Please contact [email protected], because only MessengerPeople can store the anonymization of the phone numbers for your channel in the system.

If the anonymization is active, a user ID will be displayed instead of the phone numbers.
