FAQ

What is a Business Messaging platform?

A Business Messaging Platform is a comprehensive communication solution – commonly known as an omnichannel messaging platform or a CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) – that allows companies to communicate with customers across a wide range of messaging channels through one unified interface.

These platforms support channels such as SMS, WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, RCS, Apple Messages for Business, Email, Web Push, Line, KakaoTalk, WeChat, Signal etc. By bringing together these channels, businesses can deliver messages to customers on their preferred platforms while maintaining consistency and context.

Built for high-volume communication, these platforms enable organizations – including enterprises, telecom providers, messaging aggregators, and marketing agencies – to run campaigns, send alerts, enable two-way interactions, and automate customer engagement workflows at scale. Most solutions also support rich media, segmentation, AI-driven personalization, and real-time analytics.

For the best results, Business Messaging Platforms should be vendor-agnostic and integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, CRMs, marketing automation tools, and ERP systems via open APIs. They also should be available as cloud-based SaaS or on-premise solutions, giving companies full control over data, compliance, and performance.

Who is HORISEN Business Messenger built for?

This platform is ideal for any organization with complex messaging needs – including large enterprises, telecom operators (MNOs/MVNOs and voice carriers), messaging aggregators (A2P SMS providers), CPaaS providers, marketing agencies, and system integrators. Whether you are running campaigns for a single brand or offering messaging services to multiple business clients, HORISEN Business Messenger provides vendor-neutral flexibility and a scalable architecture to support all these use cases.

What key use cases does Business Messenger support?

HORISEN Business Messenger supports a wide range of messaging use cases, from one-way bulk campaign broadcasts to interactive two-way conversations. You can run mass marketing campaigns or send critical transactional notifications (such as one-time PIN codes, appointment reminders, or emergency alerts), as well as engage in personalized two-way chats for customer support or sales inquiries using the Easy Dialog feature. The platform handles rich media content (images, videos, documents), granular audience segmentation, and automated workflows – ensuring high-precision communication that enhances the customer experience (CX) across multiple touchpoints.

How does Business Messenger enable omnichannel messaging?

HORISEN Business Messenger integrates all major channels – SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, Web Push, Telegram, Viber, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Email, and more – into a single dashboard. This unified interface acts as a central hub where campaigns and conversations can be launched, monitored, and managed with full cross-channel context. Messages are delivered and tracked consistently across channels, giving end users the freedom to switch platforms while your team maintains a complete, seamless view of each conversation.

What campaign management features are available?

HORISEN Business Messenger empowers marketing and communication teams with an end-to-end campaign execution toolkit that goes far beyond basic message distribution. From the moment a campaign is conceived, the platform’s intuitive five-step campaign wizard guides users through planning, targeting, composing, previewing, and scheduling — significantly reducing time-to-launch, even for complex multi-channel campaigns.

Marketers can design rich, dynamic messages using advanced media tools that support images, videos, carousels, and more — ensuring campaigns stand out and drive higher engagement. Thanks to pre-built templates and personalization controls, teams can scale operations without compromising relevance or quality.

The platform includes an integrated subscription manager to handle opt-ins and opt-outs in full compliance with privacy regulations, and a landing page builder to link customers directly to action from any message. Campaigns can be segmented in real time using behavioral, demographic, or engagement-based criteria, allowing hyper-targeted messaging that improves conversion.

What makes HORISEN Business Messenger superior is not only the feature set, but the automation, scale, and omnichannel control it brings to campaign orchestration. Whether you’re launching a one-time promotion or running recurring, event-triggered workflows — everything happens in one place, with vendor-neutral routing, API integration, and real-time campaign intelligence to guide every decision.

What is Easy Dialog and how does two-way communication work?

Easy Dialog is HORISEN Business Messenger’s built-in chat app module that transforms traditional one-way messaging into real-time, two-way communication. It allows businesses to have meaningful, personalized conversations with customers across all major channels – from SMS, WhatsApp, and Viber to Telegram, Email, and more – all from a single, unified interface.

Unlike static bulk campaigns that end once the message is sent, Easy Dialog turns every message into the start of a conversation. For example, a customer receiving a promotional message can reply instantly, triggering a chatbot interaction or a direct response from a live agent – all within the same platform.

This shift from broadcast to interaction is essential for businesses aiming to improve customer engagement and satisfaction. It enables companies to manage complex dialogue flows, resolve inquiries, collect feedback, and guide customers through journeys in real time.

Conversations are enriched with images, files, and videos, and can be automated using HORISEN’s Conversation API. Easy Dialog also allows seamless handover from bot to human and keeps the conversation context grouped and easy to follow.

With Easy Dialog, HORISEN doesn’t just offer a campaign platform – it delivers a full-featured enterprise chat app that bridges automation and human interaction to turn messaging into relationships.

Can I resell Business Messenger to clients under my own branding?

Yes. Business Messenger includes a Reseller Module that enables you to provide the platform to your clients under your own branding (white-label). You can create separate account instances for each client with custom branding and controlled access permissions. This multi-tenant setup essentially lets you resell the messaging platform as a service – each client manages their campaigns in their own workspace, while you maintain central oversight and administration.

Does Business Messenger support integration with my existing systems?

Absolutely. HORISEN Business Messenger is fully API-enabled, offering a robust set of REST APIs (Contact API, Campaign API, Conversation API, Inbound API, ChatGPT Bot API, UI API, etc.) for seamless integration. This means you can easily connect the platform with your existing CRM, ERP, marketing automation tools, customer support software, or other in-house systems. Using these APIs, you can sync contacts and messaging data between systems, trigger campaigns based on external events, incorporate chatbots, and embed messaging functionality into your own applications – enabling smooth end-to-end workflows

Do I need additional administration or financial apps to run my messaging business?

No – HORISEN Business Messenger includes a built-in suite of administration and finance management tools, so there is no need for external apps to run your messaging business. From the same interface, you can manage users, assign roles, set access levels, onboard clients, define limits, and monitor usage.

On the finance side, the platform enables you to handle billing, pricing models, and subscription plans with ease. You can create and send invoices, manage pre-paid and post-paid clients, and track campaign usage for accurate cost control.

This fully integrated setup makes Business Messenger ideal for both enterprise teams and telecom providers offering it as a white-label solution. As your operations grow, the platform scales with you – allowing you to expand campaigns, onboard new clients, and manage higher message volumes without switching tools or adding complexity. This all-in-one approach saves time, reduces operational friction, and keeps your business agile and compliant.

Which industries benefit most from Business Messenger?

Virtually any industry that relies on real-time customer communication can benefit from HORISEN Business Messenger. Key sectors include banking and finance (for secure OTP delivery, fraud alerts, and account notifications), retail and e-commerce (for promotions, order confirmations, and delivery tracking), logistics (for shipping updates and scheduling), marketing and advertising agencies (for orchestrating campaigns across channels), healthcare (for appointment reminders, patient notifications, and health alerts), and tourism and hospitality (for booking confirmations, guest services, and location-based offers).

Telecommunications providers use Business Messenger differently – not only to communicate with their subscribers, but also to monetize the platform by offering it as a CPaaS solution to business clients. Thanks to its white-label capabilities, carrier-grade reliability, and multi-tenant support, telcos and messaging aggregators can resell Business Messenger as a complete business communication hub.

Large enterprises and public sector organizations also benefit from the platform’s ability to handle high-volume outreach, deep segmentation, and compliance-ready communication – delivering personalized, transactional, and service-related messages on the channels their customers prefer.

Is the platform customizable?

Yes. HORISEN Business Messenger is highly customizable to fit your technical and business requirements. The platform’s functionality, user roles/permissions, interface layout, and branding can all be adapted. For example, you can run the software in full white-label mode (with your own branding), enable or disable specific features per your needs, and even implement custom modules or dashboards. This flexibility ensures the solution aligns perfectly with your workflows – whether you are using it internally or providing it as a service to clients.

Does HORISEN support automated messaging campaigns and what automation capabilities are included?

Yes. HORISEN Business Messenger enables fully automated, real-time messaging across all supported channels – including SMS, WhatsApp, Email, RCS, Viber, and more. You can launch campaigns triggered by customer actions (like sign-ups or purchases), schedule recurring outreach, or use predefined workflows to react instantly to user behavior.

Automation covers the entire campaign lifecycle: from dynamic audience segmentation (based on profile updates or message engagement) to opt-in/opt-out handling and delivery tracking. Chatbot flows can be built using the Conversation API, enabling bots to manage common queries with the ability to escalate to a human agent when needed.

This reduces manual work, improves accuracy, and ensures your customers receive the right message at the right moment – all while increasing engagement, scalability, and campaign performance.

What is the pricing for HORISEN Business Messenger?

HORISEN Business Messenger uses a flexible pricing model that is tailored to each customer’s needs. Whether you are managing messaging for one brand or operating a multi-client platform, the cost will depend on factors like the feature modules you require, your message volume or throughput, number of user accounts, and the deployment type (standard cloud service or on-premises). Both out-of-the-box packages and fully customized configurations are available. Because every client’s scale and objectives are different, pricing is not one-size-fits-all – it is determined case by case to ensure cost-efficiency.
