2. Configuring WhatsApp for a Lease Company

To configure WhatsApp for a lease company in ViSN, follow the steps below:

1. Set Up a WhatsApp Business Account​

Create a new WhatsApp Business Account for the lease company. This will provide the required credentials:

  • Phone number
  • Phone number ID
  • API token

2. Update the WhatsApp Configuration Secret in GitHub​

To securely store the new phone number and token, follow these steps:

  • Update the existing WhatsApp configuration JSON file with the new phone number and its API token:

    {
      "XXXX583223XX": "<API TOKEN>",
      "XXXX583273XX": "<API TOKEN>"
    }

  • Convert the JSON file to Base64 format.

  • Update the corresponding secret in GitHub.

3. Deploy Queue Services​

Ensure that the queue-services are deployed to process WhatsApp messages efficiently.

4. Update Firestore with WhatsApp Configuration​

In Firestore, add a leaseWhatsappDetails object to the lease company document (/leasecompany/<leaseId>/) with the necessary details:

"leaseWhatsappDetails": {
  "phoneNumber": "XXXX583223XX",
  "phoneNumberId": "XXXX7098545XXXX"
}
