RapidPro is an open source tool that has the capability to support conversational messaging flows via SMS, IVR, Telegram, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. With the CHT-RapidPro integration it is possible to design and configure SMS workflows in the two systems; data is shared between CHT and Rapidpro via the APIs. The information from the interactive texting is used to update clients details on CHT CouchDB which can trigger tasks on CHT. CHT-RapidPro SMS workflows allows for scheduling, replying and routing to an SMS based gateway based on preconfigured SMS logic, thus eliminating the need for an individual to send, monitor and reply to each text. To use SMS workflow with CHT, you will need a texting channel (a service that enables you to send or receive messages or a phone call). CHT can be integrated with a texting channel like an SMS aggregator which provides a reliable cloud based platform to send and receive an unlimited number of SMSs to and from patients or household members. +The SMS workflows in CHT can integrate with RapidPro flows to support two way interactive messaging between healthcare providers and household members.
