What is SMS Fallback?
SMS fallback is a feature that automatically sends messages via SMS if your primary WhatsApp channel doesn't correctly deliver the message. SMS fallback ensures that users always receive messages by providing a fallback channel when a user does not have access to WhatsApp, loses or does not have data, or when a message is blocked altogether. Most omnichannel API providers typically implement SMS fallbacks when a fallback channel (like SMS) and the user's phone number have been configured.
