A row on consent record and double opt-in is missing from the table because AiSensy wasn't checked for these. Both points are therefore covered in the next section.
Consent and sign-up.
If you do WhatsApp marketing, you need the consent of every contact. Here are the documented details of the providers for which both points were checked.
proof of consent
SmartChat stores the date, time and channel of consent for each contact and exports it as a PDF, in every plan. Chatarmin writes: "The opt-in is saved with IP address, timestamp and source." The record is visible per contact in the dashboard; the page mentions no export of the record. For Superchat and Chatwerk, the pages we checked show no consent record (x).
Double opt-in
At SmartChat, the double opt-in runs automatically: anyone who signs up via landing page or popup confirms in WhatsApp. Chatarmin writes: "Double opt-in from the very first contact." Confirmation happens via a button in the WhatsApp chat. For Chatwerk, the pages we checked show no double opt-in (x). Superchat describes a WhatsApp link with a keyword that subscribers use to sign up.
