Compliance built-in

YakChat + WhatsApp: Compliance by Design

WhatsApp messaging on personal phones puts your business at risk of shadow IT. Messages are scattered across individual devices with no central oversight, records, or control.If a message is deleted, it’s gone. Lose an employee, and you lose the entire conversation. CCPA and FCC obligations around data access, retention, consent, and auditability can be breached in an instant.YakChat provides a controlled, auditable way to use WhatsApp in Salesforce. Messages are centrally managed, archived and retained in line with organizational policies - ensuring data protection and compliance.Built-in opt-out handling ensures customer preferences are respected, reinforcing compliant messaging.
One platform. Every channel.

Add More Messaging Channels to Salesforce

Effective customer engagement spans multiple channels. While SMS and MMS deliver universal reach across the US and Canada, WhatsApp supports business-critical international messaging, and RCS adds trusted, branded customer engagement.YakChat unifies all these channels in a single workspace, allowing teams to shift conversations across channels and devices without losing context or control.
