IVR and WhatsApp Bridge Setup Guide | MyOperator

How do I use MyOperator IVR with WhatsApp Business API?

Quick Answer

You can host IVR calls and the official WhatsApp Business API on one MyOperator dashboard, giving agents a single timeline for calls, chats, campaigns and recordings while Meta template fees apply per message.


Key Benefits of the Unified Solution

  • Single-Dashboard Visibility: View incoming calls, IVR logs, call recordings, live chats and bulk WhatsApp broadcasts together.
  • Auto-Saved Contacts & Smart Tagging: Every caller or chatter is auto-saved and can be tagged—for example, VIP, Hot Lead or Payment Pending—for instant filtering.
  • Smart Audience Retargeting: Filter by tags, call dispositions or chat history to launch WhatsApp broadcast campaigns from the same contacts list.
  • End-to-End Ad-to-Call Tracking: Leads that start from Click-to-WhatsApp ads move through Chat → Phone Call → Deal Closure, with each touchpoint stored in one timeline.
  • Message Trail: See complete WhatsApp histories that include automated triggers, campaigns and agent replies inside the panel timeline.
  • After-Call WhatsApp Automation: Automatically fire Meta-approved templates the moment a call ends, based on Missed, Answered or Voicemail status.
  • Shopify Integration: On supported plans you can auto-send abandoned-cart nudges, COD confirmations and shipping alerts on WhatsApp.

Activation & Plan Rules

  1. Option A — Single Number (Recommended): Run IVR and WhatsApp API on the same MyOperator Virtual/DID number. Background OTP verification skips the IVR during onboarding.
  2. Option B — Separate Dedicated Number: Use a different 10-digit number only for WhatsApp Business API.
  3. Plan Availability: New onboardings choose between the Sedan and SUV CPaaS plans. WhatsApp API is bundled; Meta charges per template message still apply.
  4. Fresh-Number Prerequisite: A number already active on the consumer or Business WhatsApp app must first have that account deleted before API setup begins.

Handling OTPs & Mobile App Logouts on IVR Numbers

Running the regular WhatsApp Business mobile app on a virtual IVR service number causes repeated session crashes and logouts. Switching to the official WABA channel removes these crashes permanently.


Support-Handled OTP Window (DoT / DLT Compliance)

Telecom rules restrict raw OTP voice on service numbers. If you must fetch an OTP on such a line, MyOperator Support assists during a dedicated window: 3:00 PM – 3:30 PM (Mon–Sat) once your business identity is verified. In urgent cases Support can temporarily reroute the IVR to a direct-transfer flow to capture the verification call.


Escalation Rules & Boundaries

  • Escalate to Account Manager when you are upgrading plans, adding agent seats or ordering custom enterprise add-ons.
  • Internal Team → Tech Support escalations cover complex webhook triggers, Shopify integration errors and technical WABA channel provisioning.
