FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about Vonage on Wendesk.
What does the Vonage integration add to Wendesk?
Vonage provides a programmable voice and omnichannel messaging layer for Wendesk. The Vonage Messages API covers SMS, WhatsApp, and RCS from a single integration point, with a separate Voice API for inbound/outbound calls.
How is Vonage different from Twilio in Wendesk?
Vonage and Twilio serve similar telephony purposes. Vonage's Messages API unifies multiple channels (SMS, WhatsApp, RCS) in one endpoint, while Twilio has stronger HIPAA support and wider India-specific presence. Wendesk supports both — use whichever your team has accounts on.
What credentials does the Vonage integration need?
For SMS and Messages API: API Key and API Secret. For Voice API: Application ID and Private Key (JWT authentication). These are stored encrypted with AES-256 in Wendesk.
Does Vonage support WhatsApp Business API?
Yes. Vonage's Messages API includes WhatsApp as a channel alongside SMS and RCS. However, for Wendesk's WhatsApp Growth Hub, the Meta Cloud API (WABA) integration is the primary recommended transport.
Is Vonage rate-limited?
Vonage applies a default rate limit of 30 requests per second on most API endpoints. Wendesk's circuit breaker wrapper handles retry and backoff automatically.
Which Wendesk plan supports Vonage integration?
Vonage integration is available on Growth plan and above, as it primarily serves the upcoming AI Voice Agent which is a Growth+ feature.
