WHATSAPP COMMUNICATION CENTER

Every conversation.
One connected center.

Bring WhatsApp conversations into the heart of your service operation. Connect self-service, AI assistance and human agents with contact records, cases and conversation history inside Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Arabic & English. Rich media. A clear handoff to people.

A FAMILIAR CHANNEL. A CONNECTED OPERATION.

Meet people on WhatsApp.
Keep the work in context.

1Wap brings the message, the responsible agent and the relevant Dynamics 365 records into one communication center. Support service requests across industries without treating chat as a separate inbox.

01 / CONTINUITY

Carry the conversation forward

Move from a button-driven bot or AI answer to a human queue. Agents can see bot-handled conversations and take over when judgment or follow-up is needed.

02 / CONTEXT

Turn chat into service work

Match the contact by phone, review previous cases, create a new case and link selected chat media without leaving the agent workspace.

03 / COORDINATION

Give teams a shared view

Queue counts, ownership, waiting-time indicators, internal notes and performance reporting keep the service operation connected.

Built around your service model. Configure categories, bilingual responses, welcome messages, agent access and waiting-time thresholds around the teams and services you operate. Screens show representative design data, not a customer deployment or achieved results.

FROM FIRST MESSAGE TO FOLLOW-THROUGH

One conversation.
A clear next step.

Self-service and human service work together. The conversation’s mode determines who replies, while Dynamics 365 retains the service record.

  1. 01 / CONNECT

    The first message arrives

    A person writes to your WhatsApp Business number. The conversation is recorded and a language-appropriate menu can guide categories, FAQs and status enquiries.

  2. 02 / ASSIST

    Self-service handles the first step

    Configured menus and optional AI question answering provide assistance. A request for a person, escalation or an error can move the conversation to the agent queue.

  3. 03 / TAKE OWNERSHIP

    An agent continues

    An agent accepts or takes over before replying. The bot stops responding on the human-handled thread; the configured welcome message can introduce the agent.

  4. 04 / FOLLOW THROUGH

    The work stays connected

    Reply, create a case, attach selected evidence and resolve the conversation with an outcome. History remains available, and the latest resolved conversation can be reopened.

One owner at a time. Other agents can inspect a handled conversation without sending competing replies. Resolving closes that conversation; a later inbound message starts a new bot conversation, preserving the previous history.

THE AGENT TOOLKIT

Less switching.
More service context.

A three-zone workspace combines the queue, the conversation and an action panel. The right information stays close to the reply.

01 / QUEUES & OWNERSHIP

Know what needs attention

New, Bot, Mine and All views expose live counts and searchable conversations. Waiting-time colors help flag conversations that need a first response.

  • Accept or take over before replying
  • Read-only conversations owned by others
  • Configurable warning and breach thresholds
02 / RICH CONVERSATIONS

See more than text

Bring text, photos, video clips, voice notes, PDF documents and shared location pins into the chat stream, with delivery-status updates and system events.

  • Inline media and full-size viewing
  • Optional AI descriptions and transcription
  • Location context for case creation
03 / CONTACTS & CASES

Make the conversation actionable

Match a Dynamics contact by phone, create or link a contact when needed, and open a case from the conversation with editable details.

  • Contact record and previous case context
  • AI-assisted title and description prefill
  • Selected chat media linked to the case
04 / REPLIES & WELCOME

Respond with consistency

Use categorized bilingual quick responses, personal replies and optional attachments. Insert contact or case placeholders into the message draft.

  • Quick-response picker and slash shortcut
  • One welcome message in two languages
  • Optional agent-reviewed text enhancement
05 / HISTORY & NOTES

Keep continuity between conversations

Review previous conversations through summaries and full transcripts. Internal notes keep useful team context separate from messages sent on WhatsApp.

  • Previous conversation and handling context
  • Issue, location, request and context summaries
  • Resolve, outcome and reopen workflow
06 / LANGUAGE & PRESENCE

Support the people on both sides

Switch between Arabic and English with a mirrored right-to-left layout. Customer messages keep their original direction and language.

  • Online, Busy, Away and Unavailable states
  • Language-aware notification routing
  • Live queue updates and optional browser notifications
AI ASSISTANCE. HUMAN ACCOUNTABILITY.

Surface meaning.
Keep people in control.

AI is designed to help with triage, context and drafting, not to bypass agent review or service permissions. Features depend on the approved configuration and available Azure AI services.

Help agents understand faster

Generate media descriptions, voice transcripts, document text and structured conversation summaries. Surface issue, location, request, context and sentiment as assistance that can be checked against the original conversation.

Use a suggested rewrite to polish a reply, or retain the original. Case prefills remain editable; an agent decides what to save and send.

Bound the self-service agent

The AI question-answering design uses read-only CRM tools scoped to the person’s conversation, content filters and turn/token budgets. A human request, tool failure or escalation routes the conversation to people.

AI summaries and sentiment are indicative, not guaranteed judgments. Knowledge content, permissions, evaluation and deployment-region decisions are part of implementation.

THE SERVICE OPERATION, IN VIEW

Equip the team.
Shape the experience.

A dedicated administration workspace gives authorized administrators control over the people and content behind the communication center.

Agents, content and welcome

Add eligible Dynamics users to WhatsApp access; manage active status, agent or admin roles, availability, language coverage and bilingual nicknames.

Maintain Arabic and English quick responses, optional files and the single welcome message. Preview its language versions, choose an agent nickname and turn automatic sending on or off.

Performance with context

View Today, Last week and Last month periods for conversation volume, first response time, handle time, resolved rate and waiting-time breaches.

Explore breakdowns by language, service category, outcome, sentiment and received media, alongside per-agent figures. Dashboard values in the screenshots are illustrative, not measured results.

WHATSAPP OUTSIDE. DYNAMICS INSIDE.

A connected foundation.
Designed around your environment.

1Wap connects a WhatsApp channel to Dynamics 365 Customer Service through an Azure-hosted gateway. Infrastructure and operating decisions are scoped to your requirements.

Dynamics 365 & Dataverse

Agent and admin workspaces sit inside the Customer Service experience. Dataverse is the system of record for conversations, messages, media references, summaries, internal notes and service links.

WhatsApp & the gateway

The WhatsApp channel uses Twilio Programmable Messaging and Studio, with a provider adapter separating channel APIs from business logic. An Azure App Service gateway coordinates inbound messages, ownership, outbound delivery and background work.

Azure services & access

Azure Blob Storage holds media, Azure OpenAI and Document Intelligence support configured AI features, and SignalR supports live updates. Entra ID, managed identities, role checks, short-lived media access and malware scanning form part of the security design.

WhatsApp’s session policy applies: free-form replies follow the 24-hour customer-message window; messages outside it require approved templates. Licensing, sender registration, template approval, security controls, retention, AI-region availability and browser permissions must be confirmed for your implementation. No certification, service-level guarantee or fixed deployment capacity is implied.

BEFORE YOU CONNECT

Practical questions.
Clear boundaries.

Start with the services you want to support, then agree the channel, team responsibilities, data policies and integrations.

Can agents take over from the chatbot?

Yes. Bot conversations are visible in the queue, and an agent can take over before replying. A human-handled thread stops receiving bot replies. Other agents can inspect it without replying as a competing owner.

Can a conversation become a Dynamics 365 case?

Yes. A contact must exist before case creation. The case form can use an editable AI-assisted title/description, the shared location pin and selected chat media; previous cases remain visible beside the conversation.

What does the bilingual experience cover?

1Wap defaults to Arabic and supports an English switch with mirrored layout. Quick responses, welcome messages and AI-generated interface content have language versions; original messages retain their language. Real-time translation is not included in the current release.

Does this include outbound campaigns or voice calling?

No. The current release focuses on service conversations and agent work. Outbound campaigns, WhatsApp template-approval management, live voice/video calls, reporting export and supervisor barge-in are outside that scope. Video clips and voice notes are supported as message attachments, not live calls.

What needs to be ready for implementation?

Confirm your Dynamics 365 Customer Service licensing, WhatsApp Business sender and provider setup, Azure environment and identity access. Agree bilingual content, agent roles, categories, waiting-time thresholds, retention and security requirements, plus any AI features and notification permissions.
