WhatsApp button for job advertisements created by an agency
If an external agency retrieves job publication data via an interface and handles the display of your job postings (e.g., on your homepage), the agency can also easily integrate a WhatsApp button into their job postings.
The agency must be familiar with the application portal interface (XML or JSON) used to retrieve your publications.
Please inform the agency that the element applicationApplyWhatsAppURL may be found in the interface. If so, they should copy the URL and link it to a WhatsApp button in their job posting.
