WhatsApp Coexistence

What it is
WhatsApp coexistence lets customers use the WhatsApp Business app and the HubSpot inbox and Help Desk at the same time, on the same WhatsApp Business number, without conflicts. Messages sync between HubSpot and the WhatsApp Business app in real time, works across mobile, web, and desktop with no primary device logout required, and HubSpot backfills the last 180 days of conversations. Available live for Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise.
Why it matters
The previous WhatsApp integration forced teams to choose, work in HubSpot, or work in the WhatsApp Business app. For teams in regions where WhatsApp is the primary customer communication channel, that choice was friction every day. Coexistence removes the choice. Teams who live in WhatsApp can keep working there, and HubSpot stays the source of record for the conversation history. The 180-day backfill is the part that makes this a real migration option, not a forward-only sync.
