Facebook Messenger is a FREE mobile messaging app used for instant messaging, sharing photos, videos, audio recordings and for group chats.
Every Facebook page has a Messenger account tied to it. You can use Ongair to send and receive messages from this account. We also offer the ability to manage comments that your customers make on your Facebook posts.
In order to connect your page, you need to be administrator on the Facebook page. Otherwise, find someone who has those privileges to complete the integration.
WeChat is a Chinese multi-purpose messaging, social media and mobile payment app developed by Tencent.
Ongair allows you to send and receive WeChat messages from your customers through your WeChat Official Account.
No. It has to be an official Wechat account. Sign up for the Wechat Service Account because it is more visible and can send upto four messages per month as opposed to the Subscription Account that is less visible and can send one message per day.
Service accounts
Service accounts are more appropriate for companies aiming at providing a wider set of services through WeChat: customer service, e-commerce, games, or other interactive feature. Content can be provided but it is not the core service.
Subscription accounts
Subscription accounts are a good choice for companies or individuals for which content is the core service provided to customers: ability to publish daily is a key feature and other features provided by the account are more limited.
Viber is a free instant messaging and calling app for personal and group chats.
Your customers can reach you on Viber via a Viber bot. A Viber bot is a special account through which a business can send and receive one-to-one messages with their customers.
Viber bots are free and easy to create. You can create one by logging into their developer portal. Once your bot is created, you just need to copy your authentication token into Ongair to complete the process.
No. Ongair only works with Viber bots created through their developer portal.
WhatsApp is a free instant messaging and calling app. It is the largest Instant Messaging app in the world with over 1 billion people worldwide using the app.
Ongair allows you to send and receive WhatsApp messages from your customers through the WhatsApp for Business API.
