+PresEngageReach the Audience SMS Can't — Live AI Q&A on WhatsApp
Outside the US and Canada, your audience lives on WhatsApp -- and SMS simply doesn't reach them. PresEngage® puts a WhatsApp QR code on your slide: one scan opens a chat with your AI Co-Presenter, pre-filled and ready to send. Questions answered in 100+ languages, at the same per-member rate as texting.

Why Add PresEngage to WhatsApp?
Reach Where SMS Cannot
Texting covers US and Canadian phones. WhatsApp covers the rest of the planet -- 2 billion+ users, most of them beyond the reach of a US text message.
AI Answers in the Chat
Your AI Co-Presenter answers each WhatsApp message from your uploaded content, with slide references, in the attendee's own language.
One Scan to Join
The WhatsApp QR code opens a chat with the join message pre-filled. No number to type, no code to remember -- attendees press send.
Names, Not Numbers
WhatsApp passes along each member's profile display name, so your Messaging Center usually shows who asked instead of "Private". Caller-ID lookups only work for US numbers -- on WhatsApp, the name arrives with the message, anywhere in the world.
Same Meter as SMS
WhatsApp is a channel of the SMS add-on, not a second product. Same rate, and a member is billed once per presentation whichever channel they use.
One Command Center
WhatsApp threads sit channel-tagged beside texting and web questions in the Messaging Center and feed the same Audience Intelligence reports.
How It Works with WhatsApp
- 1
Choose Where Your Audience Is
In the wizard, pick "US & Canada" to print a texting code and a WhatsApp code, or "Everywhere else" for a single WhatsApp code -- so nobody in your room scans a dead end.
- 2
Show the Slide
Attendees scan the WhatsApp code; WhatsApp opens with your presentation's join message already written. They send it and get your welcome message back.
- 3
Q&A in the Thread
Questions and AI answers flow in the same WhatsApp conversation -- before, during, and after the talk -- while you watch live in the Messaging Center.
Built for International Rooms
A conference in Berlin, a webinar for São Paulo, a workshop in Manila -- the phones in those rooms have WhatsApp installed and no US texting plan.
- The only messaging path to audiences outside the US and Canada
- Messages are delivered over the internet by Meta, so no carrier plan is involved
- Attendees keep the whole Q&A thread on their phone after the talk
- Opt-in on the first message, and Reply STOP opts out at any time
- Same pay-per-use rate as texting, billed once per member per presentation
- Available with Present In-Person ($0.50/member) and Present Everywhere ($0.35/member)
Inside WhatsApp Q&A
Real production screenshots, from the slide your room scans to your Messaging Center.
A US & Canada presentation prints both codes; international presentations print WhatsApp only.
With the SMS + WhatsApp add-on enabled (Present In-Person or Present Everywhere), every presentation gets a shareable WhatsApp join link -- and a member is billed once, whichever channel they use.
The WhatsApp code opens a chat with your join message already written.
Tell the wizard where your audience is -- it prints the right codes.
WhatsApp Q&A is a channel of the SMS + WhatsApp add-on, available with the in-person plans and billed once per unique audience member per presentation -- never per message, never per channel. Attendees message the same shared PresEngage number they would text, disambiguated by your presentation's code. One honest limit: Smart Follow-Up messages are not sent over WhatsApp, because WhatsApp only permits a free-form message within 24 hours of a member's last one -- those members are skipped rather than messaged late, and follow-up email is unaffected. Q&A itself is identical on both channels.
