Introduction

BiteSpeed is a WhatsApp-first marketing platform focused on cart-recovery and lifecycle campaigns for Shopify stores. Once connected, the WhatsApp Workflow node can send BiteSpeed templates — with or without a click-through CTA URL — on any loyalty event. For the provider-agnostic overview, see WhatsApp.

​
When to use BiteSpeed

  • You already use BiteSpeed for WhatsApp cart recovery / marketing.
  • You want CTA URL buttons that deep-link customers to a specific page (redemption page, account page, product).
  • You want to use named template parameters (Name + Value pairs) rather than positional.

​
Before you start

You have an active BiteSpeed account with WhatsApp Business API.
You have at least one approved BiteSpeed template.
You have your BiteSpeed API key.
You know your Channel ID — BiteSpeed’s identifier for your WhatsApp Business number.

​
Connect BiteSpeed to Yuko

1

Get your BiteSpeed API key

Log in to your BiteSpeed dashboard, copy your API key, and note the Channel ID for the WhatsApp number you’ll send from.
2

Open BiteSpeed in Yuko

In Shopify admin, go to Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Integrations, pick the WhatsApp category from the left sidebar, and click BiteSpeed.
3

Paste the API key and Connect

Paste the key into the API Key field and click Connect Integration. The page shows Connected.
4

Add a BiteSpeed step to a workflow

Open any workflow, click +, pick WhatsApp, and choose the BiteSpeed card from the provider list.

​
Configure the BiteSpeed step in a workflow

BiteSpeed template parameters are named (Name + Value). The names must match the variable names in the approved template. If your template body says Hi {{customer_name}}, the param name is customer_name.

​
CTA URL supports shortcodes

CTA URLs are prime real estate for personalisation. Instead of a static link, use shortcodes to deep-link to something specific to the customer:
  • https://shop.example.com/account?email={{email}} — passes the customer’s email to your page.
  • https://shop.example.com/redeem?code={{reward_code}} — opens the redemption page with the coupon pre-filled.

​
Example use case

Reward earned — redeem now button
  1. In BiteSpeed, approve a template with two body variables and a CTA URL button. Note the Template ID and Channel ID.
  2. In Yuko Workflows, build: Trigger: Redeem Points → WhatsApp (BiteSpeed).
  3. Configure: Channel ID, Template ID, Params Count = 2, Params: customer_name = {{first_name}}, coupon_code = {{reward_code}}.
  4. Toggle Add CTA Button, CTA URL = https://shop.example.com/redeem?code={{reward_code}}.
  5. Activate.

​
Limitations

  • Approved templates only. BiteSpeed enforces Meta template approval.
  • Named parameters, not positional. Names in Yuko must match the template’s variable names exactly.
  • No template authoring inside Yuko. Edit templates in the BiteSpeed dashboard.
  • CTA button URL only. Reply / phone / other button types aren’t authored from Yuko.
  • No per-message delivery status surfaced in Yuko. Check the BiteSpeed dashboard for delivered / read events.

​
