Twilio - Sending SMS, WhatsApp, and Facebook messages from Marketo

Hey All,

I have a webhook that can send SMS messages from Marketo using Twilio but am now looking for a similar method for sending Facebook and WhatsApp messages. Has anyone successfully used Twilio Notify ​to send WhatsApp or Facebook messages? How does it work?

Are there any plug-ins/tools outside of Twilio that make it possible to send multiple message types (other than SMS)?

Thanks!

Trevor

You could probably use Zapier to do this more effectively or more cheaply.

I just went to see if Zapier had an action for either WhatsApp or Twilio - the former, nothing, the latter didn't feature a WhatsApp integration.

I wouldn't be surprised if both WhatsApp and Messenger require some hefty integrations using Facebooks app platform.. I can't imagine they'd allow you to lookup up a lead via an email address.. instead they'd need you to connect your page and search for a fan/like within*.

*just guessing.

    Thanks, Josh and Nicholas!

    So it sounds like there isn't a clear way to do WhatsApp or Facebook message sends from Marketo without some major customization. If anyone has experience using Zapier (or another tool) to send Whatapp/Facebook messages please let me know.

    Thanks!

    Hi Trevor,

    have you figured out how to send Whatsapp or FB messages via Marketo? I am interested in using the same now.

    Thanks for letting me know.

      @Trevor_Parsell @Nicholas_Manojl @Marek_Hozák my company Telnyx has just launched a Whatsapp API: https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/api/v2/whatsapp 

       

      You can integrate this into Marketo webhooks as you would do normally when integrating with Twilio. If you want a Telnyx specific example of how to call the Telnyx API from a Marketo webhook then you can see this post: https://theworkflowpro.com/marketo-text-messaging/ 

       

      Here is the product page to give you more info about it: telnyx.com/products/WhatsApp-api 

       

      There are also plans to integrate with Facebook Messenger in the near future.
