​
Introduction

Interakt is an India-headquartered WhatsApp Business API platform, popular with mid-market Shopify stores. Once connected, the WhatsApp Workflow node can send Interakt templates whenever a loyalty event fires. For the provider-agnostic overview, see WhatsApp.

​
When to use Interakt

  • You already run Interakt for WhatsApp support and marketing on the same account.
  • You want URL buttons in your messages with a personalised link suffix.
  • You want to attach callback metadata so incoming webhooks tell your other tools which loyalty event triggered the message.
  • You need broad language support (Interakt uses Facebook language codes).

​
Before you start

You have an active Interakt account with WhatsApp Business API.
You have at least one approved Interakt template.
You have your Interakt API key from Settings → Developer Settings in the Interakt dashboard.

​
Connect Interakt to Yuko

1

Get your Interakt API key

Log in to Interakt → Settings → Developer Settings. Copy the API key.
2

Open Interakt in Yuko

In Shopify admin, go to Apps → Yuko Loyalty → Integrations, pick the WhatsApp category from the left sidebar, and click Interakt.
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 an Interakt step to a workflow

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

​
Configure the Interakt step in a workflow

You must fill in exactly as many parameters and button suffixes as the counts you set. If a button suffix resolves to an empty value at send time, Yuko sends ?from=yuko instead so the button still opens a valid link.
Callback Data is Interakt-specific: use it if you’re subscribing to Interakt’s delivery webhooks in another tool and want to tag each message with which Yuko workflow sent it.

​
Example use case

Loyalty tier upgrade celebration
  1. In Interakt, approve a template called loyalty_tier_upgrade_v1 with two variables (customer name, tier name).
  2. In Yuko Workflows, build: Trigger: VIP Tier Upgrade → WhatsApp (Interakt).
  3. Set Template Name = loyalty_tier_upgrade_v1, Language = en, Parameter Count = 2, Parameters = {{first_name}}, {{current_tier_name}}.
  4. (Optional) Callback Data = yuko_tier_upgrade — lets your Interakt inbox filter these apart from other messages.
  5. Activate.

​
Limitations

  • Approved templates only. Interakt enforces Meta template approval.
  • No template authoring inside Yuko. Edit templates in the Interakt dashboard.
  • Up to 10 body parameters and 2 URL buttons per step.
  • Callback Data capped at 512 characters.
  • No per-message delivery status surfaced in Yuko. Check the Interakt dashboard for delivered / read events.

​
FAQs

Interakt dashboard → Settings → Developer Settings. If you don’t see it, ask your Interakt account owner to enable API access on your plan.
Interakt returns whatever you put here on their delivery webhooks. If you subscribe to Interakt webhooks in another tool (analytics, CRM), it’s a good place to stash a tag like yuko_reward_earned so you can route those events downstream.
  1. Template name exact match. 2. Template approved. 3. Parameter count and CTA button count match the template. 4. Language code matches the approved template’s language. 5. Customer has a phone number in Shopify.
Generate a new key in Interakt, then open Integrations → Interakt in Yuko, switch off the Connection toggle and confirm Disconnect, and connect again with the new key. Existing workflow steps keep their settings.
