Integrate Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Telegram and more

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback — we truly appreciate it.

While we can’t provide a specific timeline or ETA at this stage, please know that this feature is one of our top priorities. We’re actively working towards it, and we’re confident it will be implemented in the near future.

We’ll be sure to notify you as soon as it becomes available.

Thanks again for your support and patience.

any updates on this?

This is a great idea! Managing messages from live chat, Facebook, email, and Telegram in one place will save a lot of time and keep things organized.

It’s been over two years since the Messenger integration was introduced, and it remains half-baked. As of May 2025, Facebook Messenger has completely stopped working in tawk.to — we haven’t seen a single new message ingested into the portal since then.

Other promised integrations have quietly been ignored, while instead we continue to see updates nobody asked for. Even simple requests like dark mode — a staple of web design for over a decade — have been deferred under the excuse of a “platform overhaul,” while instead we get half-translated UI elements, questionable design changes, and borderline useless API endpoints shipped with fervor and great frequency.

We pay $130/month for tawk.to, and it’s hard to understand how paying customers can be treated this way. The platform’s value is being eroded by neglected integrations and misplaced priorities.

And please — I’m not looking for the usual canned forum reply we’ve all seen from moderators here (the “Hi, thanks for your feedback, no ETA but it’s a top priority” script). That line has been recycled for years, and it’s no longer an acceptable substitute for a real answer.

What’s needed now is a clear, concrete update on:

  1. Whether Messenger support is officially being maintained,
  2. If/when other promised platform integrations will actually be delivered, and
  3. What the real roadmap is for reliable channel support — beyond cosmetic UI churn.

At this point, it’s difficult to justify continuing to invest in tawk.to without real answers and accountability.

Hi @jr96,

We’re not aware of any platform-wide issues with Messenger. If your property stopped receiving messages back in May, did you submit a support ticket? If so, please send me the support ticket number privately, and I’ll assist you further with this case.

To directly address your points:

  1. Messenger is maintained. Plenty of accounts actively use it.
  2. Channel integrations are progressing. We quietly shipped SMS last week. WhatsApp is next, with many other channels coming soon after.
  3. Roadmap: Messenger :white_check_mark: done. → SMS :white_check_mark: done. → WhatsApp :hammer_and_wrench: In progress
 → additional channels next, based on popularity among our users.

I’m not sure what you mean by “cosmetic UI churn” in this context, but your broader feedback on priorities is noted and will be passed on. To reiterate, channel integrations remain a top priority for us.

We appreciate your patience while the team is diligently working behind the scenes.

If you’d like to discuss your Messenger support case further, feel free to DM me or email kristaps@tawk.to.

Very good! Congratulations!

However, I noticed that in this new update the part about adding or editing new articles in the knowledge base is bugged. If you could take a look at it.

And once again, congratulations on the integration we’ve been waiting for.

my integration is not working I cannot add my whatsapp business number. i t gives me an error


Hi @LEOHDZ, thanks for your feedback, please contact our support team at support@tawk.to to help you troubleshoot this issue. If you could provide a recording using jam.dev with the exact steps to reproduce this, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks @Clerison, glad you like it! Could you please provide a jam.dev recording of the KB issues you’d like to report so we can troubleshoot?

We have already fixed quite a few, so please make sure that you are on the latest version by clearing your browser cache and doing a hard refresh.

For example, I can’t add more images, code, videos, etc. It’s only letting me add paragraphs of text.

Hi @Clerison, try /image and /video and hit enter? You can then add links to media or upload.


Let’s keep this thread on topic – omni-channel integrations in the tawk.to Inbox.

Which channels would you like us to add next? :eyes:

Comment below!

The current implementation of WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger is extremely poor. I cannot add a phone number because the system claims it is already being used on another property, which is not the case. Visual alerts and notifications are virtually nonexistent, so there is no way to know when an incoming message arrives unless someone is monitoring the dashboard 24/7. Additionally, there is no way to view WhatsApp messages in the mobile app. As it stands, the integration is essentially useless. Visitors who send messages via WhatsApp expect an immediate response, which we cannot provide because we are not notified when new messages are received.

Hi @LEOHDZ, thanks for sharing feedback.

Could you please DM me the phone number you’re trying to add so our team can investigate and release the number in case it’s stuck in a deleted property?

Both WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are fully functional for receiving and replying to messages through the tawk.to inbox. That said, I agree that the notification experience isn’t where it needs to be.

What we’re actively working on:

  • Sound and desktop notifications for incoming messages on all third-party channels
  • WhatsApp Inbox included in the mobile apps

We appreciate your patience while we get them rolled out.

Telegram is now live! :tada:
