WhatsApp integration with Unifonic Platform - Dynamics 365 CE

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CU25061201-0 4
Hi,
 
I am working in the sandbox environment as a Technical Consultant for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (CRM online) for my company
 
I am looking to integrate Whatsapp via Unifonic platform.
 
What  I am looking for is :
  • What are the pre-requisites or licenses required to setup the integration for WhatsApp using Unifonic platform? (Like Power Platform / Dynamics 365 for OmniChannel etc)
  • I want to setup an integration where we can send to customer Files in the Whatsapp chat. Example: Customer asks for more details and we provide them a brochure which is a file type of column stored in an existing table
  • The WhatsApp chat will also show available appointments. Example: Customer wants an appointment and we can get from Dataverse, the list of available appointments based on the Sales Users schedule (Here, I am a little doubt maybe we can do so with Unifonic or if we can take a new license for Power Virtual Agents)
 
If any senior can help me to guide step by step how to integrate it would be really helpful as I am searching online but unable to find any guide

    Integration Capabilities
    1. Send Files (e.g. brochures) via WhatsApp
    • Use Unifonic API to send media messages.
    • Files must be publicly accessible via URL or passed as base64 (depends on Unifonic API version).
    • Retrieve file from Dataverse File column using Power Automate or plugin, then pass to Unifonic endpoint.
    2. Show Available Appointments
    • Pull appointment slots from Sales User calendar (Dataverse).
    • Format response (JSON/text) and send via Unifonic WhatsApp API.
    • You can use Power Automate or Azure Function to fetch & respond.
    Note: Unifonic is not natively integrated with Dynamics. You’ll need custom integration via Power Automate, Azure, or a middleware (e.g. Azure Logic Apps).

    Steps to Integrate Unifonic WhatsApp with Dynamics 365
    1. Obtain Unifonic WhatsApp Business API credentials.
    2. Set up Unifonic webhook endpoint to receive messages (build in Azure or Power Automate).
    3. Configure Unifonic to forward incoming messages to your endpoint.
    4. Use Power Automate or Plugin to:
      • Fetch data from Dataverse (e.g., appointments, files).
      • Call Unifonic API to send response.
    5. Store chat logs in a custom entity in D365 if needed.
