WhatsApp button when creating job postings through an agency

An external agency retrieves job publication data via an interface and displays your job advertisements, for example, on your homepage. The agency can also easily integrate a WhatsApp button into its job advertisement. 


The agency must be familiar with the interface of the application portal (XML or JSON) through which your job publications should be retrieved.
Please inform the agency that the interface may contain the element applicationApplyWhatsAppURL. If so, they should copy the URL and link it to a WhatsApp button in their job advertisement.
