Enabling the WhatsApp channel

Connect a WhatsApp number to the channel through the AgileHub hub: convenient for reporters, «identity-protected» not anonymous.

Besides the web channel you can offer reporters a WhatsApp number. The integration goes through the AgileHub messaging hub, which acts as a relay between WhatsApp and your Vocea channel; content stays encrypted towards the supervisory body.

How to enable it

  1. From the handler console (/gestore) open the channel and go to the integrations/messaging section.
  2. Request the WhatsApp channel connection to the AgileHub hub and associate the published number.
  3. Publish the number at your contact points (privacy notice, intranet, signage) next to the web channel link.

What the organisation sees and does not see

  • The organisation does NOT see the reporter’s phone number: it stays on the messaging hub, not on Vocea systems.
  • The supervisory body reads the content only after decryption in its own browser, with the private key: Vocea stays zero-knowledge.
  • The WhatsApp/hub hop is not «blind» end-to-end like the web form: that is why the channel is «identity-protected», not anonymous.
In your privacy notice state clearly that the WhatsApp channel is «identity-protected» and does not guarantee technical anonymity: the reporter’s number transits the messaging provider’s systems and the delivery hub, while the content is encrypted towards the supervisory body. For full anonymity always point to the web channel /segnala. Informational note, not legal advice: for binding wording involve the RPCT/supervisory body or a lawyer.
