Deis OmniLink is a WhatsApp Business platform for South African lenders, insurers and collections teams: no-code chatbots, a shared live agent inbox, payment reminders and Pay by Link in one consented, audited thread. Deis is a Registered Meta Tech Provider, and OmniLink runs in Deis cloud (Azure South Africa North), on Deis infrastructure or in your own environment.
Customer conversations are split across four systems
Where the time goes
Most businesses stitch the moment together from a marketing tool, a call centre, a payment gateway and a separate collections process.
None of those tools talk to each other, and none keeps a clean, auditable record of what was said, sent, paid or agreed.
Customers already open a chat app before they open email or a portal, so reminders and payment requests sent elsewhere are easy to miss.
How OmniLink solves it
One conversation that does real work
No-code WhatsApp bots built on a visual flow builder, tested in a simulator before go-live.
Bot-to-human hand-off: customers type AGENT and a person sees the whole thread in the shared inbox.
Pay by Link and Scan to Pay inside the chat, with refunds, disputes and automatic reconciliation.
Consent and suppression in one POPIA consent ledger, with a full audit trail.
What it looks like
A message that becomes money received
A payment request moves from delivered to clicked to paid on one timeline, in the same thread as the conversation.
Every send tracked from queued to read
Pay by Link requests tracked from sent to paid, then reconciled
A shared inbox with SLA timers and a full thread for agents
Reminders and promises to pay recorded in the thread
Campaigns, templates and tracked links on WhatsApp, SMS and email

How it works
Live on WhatsApp in four steps
1 · Connect your number
Automated Infobip or Meta provisioning for your WhatsApp number.
2 · Build the conversation
Design a bot on the visual canvas, or start from a ready-made workflow for lending, insurance, collections, estates, HR or KYC.
3 · Add your team
Invite agents and set roles, SLAs and sign-in, so people pick up where the bot leaves off.
4 · Go live and get paid
Publish your first bot, send payment requests with Pay by Link and watch them reconcile.
Integration and hosting
WhatsApp on Infobip or direct Meta
WhatsApp runs on Infobip or the direct Meta Cloud API, alongside SMS, email and AI voice. Connectors call your core systems mid-conversation, with no code for standard JSON APIs.
WhatsApp messages themselves travel via Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform. Runs in Deis cloud (Azure South Africa North), on Deis infrastructure, or in your own environment. Live checks still call the official sources.
