It is easy for the Facilities Manager to connect FacilityBot to a chosen WhatsApp number. Once connected, the Facilities Manager should provide that WhatsApp number to building users (“Requestors”).
If the Facilities Manager is using a shared WhatsApp number, he should also provide Requestors with the Agent Code to connect to the correct bot instance.
There are 2 primary ways that Requestors can find the correct channel in WhatsApp (A) searching for the correct WhatsApp number and (B) scanning the QR code in the poster.
