Introduction to Sozuri OmniChannel API
Welcome to Sozuri RESTful OmniChannel API which allows you to send and receive messages on multiple communication channels, at scale, using a single integration. The Sozuri’s RESTful OmniChannel API currently supports SMS and WhatsApp for Business with more channels to be added soon. Easily scale your messaging and add more channels without the need to update your integration. You integrate once-off with the OmniChannel API, and Sozuri will handle the interpretation of all the different channel requirements. Unified reporting allows for a single view of all your messaging activity regardless of the channel.
