Integrations · Approval channels
A WhatsApp message starts the approval with a reference code and a single-use link. The details and the passkey open after sign-in.

Only Aspian holds the credentials.

Step 1 of 4
The request arrives on WhatsApp
WhatsApp only starts the approval. The message carries only a reference code and a single-use link; the details open after sign-in. Opening a link preview never uses it up.
Alerts that reach someone.
If WhatsApp is down, the alert moves to SMS, then voice where a provider is enabled, then email, and you can see which channel delivered it. Delivery and acknowledgement are reported separately.

What the on-call engineer receives on WhatsApp and email
Alert KP-2291. Open: cloud.aspianalliance.com/a/…
WhatsApp and email providers process messages outside Nigeria, so the message carries only the alert code and a secure link. The details open behind sign-in.
Timings are compressed. Delivery (a provider receipt) is reported separately from acknowledgement (a person confirmed it). Delivery is at least once, so an engineer may get the same alert on two channels; it is acknowledged once.
