3 years ago I have looked into the API documentation of gupshup and added it in the following comparison sheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Vghs5KQWQ8In4jL3Ya9hCKtAnNgcmwctZn3MiwUENG4/edit#gid=0 One thing that is different here from flocksend and twilio is that the subscribers/customers will have to opt-in to receive whatsapp messages (both template and session messages) from a business.
As for pricing, gupshup does not have any signing up fee. We can sign up free of cost and they give us 1 USD complementary credit at sign up. They do charge while sending messages. Below screenshot shows their pricing structure. For more info on pricing, https://www.gupshup.io/developer/whatsapp-api.
Following tasks would need to be opened if we want to integrate gupshup with KiboPush:
- Mapper function to save gushup integration
- Mapper function to normalize received message events
- Mapper function to normalize received message status events
- Mapper function to send chat
- Mapper function to send broadcast message
- Mapper function to fetch and send template messages
- Mapper function to respond using chatbot
- Update user guide
- Update test cases
- Team testing of this feature
@jekram @sojharo @ImranBinShoukat FYI
This task is to investigate gupshup.io in terms of pricing and features.
