Omnichannel messaging

One message. Five channels.
Wherever the customer is awake.

WhatsApp, SMS, email, push and in-app — all five run on one infrastructure with delivery, consent and reporting built in. You reach customers on the channel they actually use, at the right moment, with provable delivery — instead of stitching together three vendors and praying.

Single-channel dependency (email-only or SMS-only) saturates fast. Omnichannel routes the right message at the right time over the right channel and lifts delivery up to 38%.

Why single-channel fails

If you rely only on email, you are reaching just 22% of your customers.

Email's average open rate is 22%. Of every 100 messages, 78 go unseen. WhatsApp lifts that to 97%, SMS to 99% — but cost explodes if used alone. 63% of your customers are active on 4+ channels; a single-channel brand is not where the customer is. Worse, your support conversations are split across 3-4 systems; context is lost and customers repeat themselves.

01

Email alone is 22%

Open rates fall yearly; spam filters tightened, inboxes crowded. "We sent it" is not "we reached them".

02

Customer on 4+ channels

A typical customer uses WhatsApp, email, SMS, Instagram DM and app push together. They don't know where to find you.

03

Fragmented context

Complaint on WhatsApp, order via email, confirmation by SMS — three systems. Nobody owns the unified customer profile.

04

Wrong time, wrong channel

Urgent shipping note via email — read 6 hours later. Marketing via SMS — annoying. Channel ↔ message fit is missing.

05

No delivery transparency

A system that says "sent" but doesn't know "delivered" is an operational risk. Bounces, opt-outs, error codes are invisible; you keep sending to the wrong person for weeks.

06

Consent chaos

For GDPR/KVKK: who opted-in to which channel? Without one source of truth, you're exposed. One opt-out must apply across all channels.

Push

Replies from WhatsApp, email, SMS, in-app and push land in one view — your team never tab-hops.

Routing rule

Smart channel choice — by rule, not by gut.

IF user.opened_whatsapp < 7d
THEN send via whatsapp
ELSE IF user.has_push_token
THEN send via push
ELSE smsemail // fallback chain

For each customer, the channel with the highest open probability is chosen automatically. If the primary fails, the fallback chain kicks in — the message never gets lost.

10 capabilities — one stack

From WhatsApp Business to email deliverability — every piece set up.

Messaging infrastructure is more than "API integration". Vendor selection, account approval, template authoring, DNS verification, opt-in flows, fallback chains, reporting — each takes specialist work. Partnerfy unifies them.

01

WhatsApp Business API setup

Meta Business verification, sender ID, template approval, interactive messages (buttons/lists), clickable CTAs, media sends.

02

SMS gateway — TR carriers

NetGSM, Verimor, Iletimerkezi (TR) + Twilio, Vonage (international). Operator-header (sender ID) registration, short vs long number decision.

03

Email deliverability infra

SPF, DKIM, DMARC records; dedicated IP warm-up; Postmark/SendGrid/SES selection; spam score monitoring; bounce handling.

04

Push notifications (iOS + Android)

FCM (Android) + APNs (iOS) one API; segment targeting, scheduled sends, deep-links, rich-media push, silent push.

05

In-app messaging

Banner, modal, tooltip, story; in-session intervention; Firebase In-App Messaging or Iterable integration.

06

Unified inbox

All-channel replies in one view; agent assignment, labels, status (open/resolved), SLA tracking.

07

Routing rules & fallback

User preference + channel availability + cost → rule engine. If primary fails, fallback chain kicks in.

08

Opt-in management

GDPR/KVKK-compliant double opt-in; per-channel consent; single opt-out propagates across all channels; audit trail.

09

Delivery analytics

Sent → delivered → opened → clicked → replied funnel; per-channel ROI; weekly automated reports.

10

Template approval workflow

Multi-language template prep, submission to Meta/carrier, rejection-reason fixes, versioning.

FAQ

The 8 most asked questions about messaging infrastructure

There is no direct access; you go through a BSP (Business Solution Provider). Twilio, MessageBird, Vonage and 360dialog connect your Meta Business Manager. Typical timeline: Meta Business verification 2-5 days (tax ID, incorporation document needed), phone-number registration 1-3 days, first template approvals 1-3 business days. End-to-end 7-14 days is normal. Partnerfy handles everything from preparing verification documents to the registration flow; you only sign.
It depends on context. For marketing, an alphanumeric sender ID (e.g. "MYBRAND") is used; it requires KOSGEB registration and carrier approval (via Turkish iletim merkezleri) and must respect the legal-message frame. Transactional (OTP, shipping) can use the same sender ID or a long number (full international format) — long numbers enable two-way and let users reply "STOP". Short codes (5-6 digits) are reserved for premium-rate billing in Türkiye and not appropriate for marketing. Recommendation: alphanumeric sender ID + long number combo for most cases.
Work happens at three layers. (1) DNS: correctly configured SPF, DKIM, DMARC; DMARC policy tightened gradually (none → quarantine → reject). (2) Infrastructure: with a dedicated IP, a warm-up process — start low volume and ramp over the first 30 days; on shared IPs, the provider's reputation is critical. (3) Content: avoid spam-trigger words, balance image/text, one-click unsubscribe, correct "from". Postmark has the highest transactional deliverability; SendGrid/SES for high volume. Monthly spam-score and blacklist scans are part of the routine.
If misused — yes. Irrelevant push is the #1 reason users uninstall. The keys are segmentation and frequency discipline. General marketing push: max 1-2/week with segment-relevant content. Transactional push (order status, payment confirmation, security alert) is exempt — users expect it. Quiet hours (no sends 22:00-08:00), timezone alignment, deep-links (push opens the relevant screen, not the home), A/B testing are critical. Opt-out rate under 2% means your strategy is healthy; above 5% needs urgent revision.
Double opt-in is mandatory: at sign-up the user clearly sees which channel and message type they'll receive and confirms. Separate consent per channel (email opt-in does not cover WhatsApp). A single opt-out should propagate to all channels — not strictly required but best practice. For KVKK: personal-data inventory (VERBİS) in Türkiye, clarification text, explicit consent. Data retention, cross-border transfer (relevant if you use non-TR providers), right to be forgotten must be operationally implemented. Partnerfy sets up a KVKK-compliant opt-in stack; for legal text we recommend separate counsel.
No. Phased rollout is essential. First, audit current state: which channels are already in use, how do they perform, where are the gaps. Typical priority: (1) transactional email (if infra missing or deliverability low), (2) WhatsApp Business (highest open, channel customers love), (3) push (if you have an app), (4) SMS (for critical transactional), (5) in-app messaging (last, deeper integration). One channel live per quarter is realistic. Teams that launch five at once run each one half-baked — none optimised.
Yes. Messaging infra's heart is CRM integration — without it you're just a "spam sender". Pre-built connectors exist (official for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho; Twilio Segment bridges many CRMs), for custom systems we set up a two-way sync via REST API + webhooks. The customer profile accumulates in one place: which channel they received, replied, clicked. That profile drives the next routing decision. Integration typically takes 2-4 weeks; longer if existing data needs cleaning.
Each channel prices differently. WhatsApp: per-conversation (Meta's conversation pricing — marketing, utility, service have different prices; for TR roughly 0.03-0.10 USD); when customer replies, a 24-hour service window opens. SMS: per-message; TR domestic 0.05-0.15 TL, international 0.05-0.50 USD by country. Email: monthly subscription (Postmark $10/10k, SendGrid free tier to start) — in practice the cheapest channel. Push: completely free (no FCM/APNs service fee), only infra cost. In-app: depends on platform. Typical mix: for an e-commerce with 100k MAU, total messaging bill lands in $300-1,000/month depending on send profile.
