A One Time Password or OTP is a security code designed to be used for a single login attempt, to minimize the risk of fraudulent login attempts and maintain high security. It’s a string of characters or numbers automatically generated and sent to the user’s phone via SMS, Voice, or Push message.
The OTP has become the standard method worldwide of enabling a login when special circumstances apply, such as validating a new account or confirming a transaction is legitimate.
Providers like CM.com offer OTPs as a service, with a secure platform for receiving or initiating OTP requests, sending the OTP as a text or other channel, and verifying the OTP was entered correctly, so the transaction can go ahead.
The infrastructure for making use of one-time passwords integrates with your website or application using an API. This is how a site “knows” whether an entered OTP is correct or not, with safeguards like checking it’s within the time window.
There are several ways to send an OTP. Some give the option of receiving OTPs by email, although this tends to be less secure. Other providers even enable OTPs as voicemails, stating the PIN aloud when the customer checks the mailbox.
But by far the most common way to send OTPs is by Push or text messaging, typically an SMS or even WhatsApp message to the customer’s mobile phone.
An OTP is generated automatically as a semi-random number or string of characters. There is no way to predict what the OTP will be ahead of time. OTPs are valid for a single login session or transaction, enhancing security by reducing the risk of unauthorized access even if the password is intercepted. Once used, the OTP expires, ensuring it cannot be reused for future logins or transactions.
With the advent of ChatGPT, it feels like we’re venturing into a whole new world. Everyone can ask questions and give commands to what is perceived as an “omniscient” chatbot. Within a single week, it acquired 1 million active users. Big Tech got shaken up with Google introducing their LaMDA-based “Bard” and Bing Search incorporating GPT-4 with Bing Chat. There seems to be no limit to the enthusiasm. But what is ChatGPT? What does it mean for businesses? We discussed this with Arman van Lieshout, Product Manager at CM.com for our Conversational AI Solution.
In a world of crowded marketing messages, via a raft of platforms and channels, wouldn’t it be useful to be able to segment your customers according to their characteristics and target them with relevant messages at exactly the right time? The problem is that collecting the data, successfully categorising it, and then putting it to work is a lengthy and complex task. That’s where a Customer Data Platform, or CDP, comes in and it can make a huge difference to the interactions you have with your customers and potential customers…
WhatsApp Business gives business owners a presence on one of the world's most popular social messaging apps which allows them to communicate more effectively with their customers and help their businesses grow in the online marketplace.

At CM.com, we've noticed that more and more people are showing an interest in employing our chatbot as a virtual communication channel to help them streamline their eCommerce practices and improve the overall experience that they offer to their customers.

Surely, we’ve all heard the terms Multi-channel and Omni-channel. What can these marketing strategies mean for your company? For an answer to that question, we need to know the difference between the two. In this short article, I’ll explain just what all the fuss is about.
Omnichannel marketing is a strategy for reaching customers through various channels, including physical stores, websites, social media, email, and mobile apps.

Conversational Commerce is a type of eCommerce that focuses on two-way conversations with customers via the use of online chat tools. It's a concept that's actually been around for quite some time, with former Developer Experience Lead at Uber, Chris Messina, describing it as "the intersection of messaging apps and shopping" back in 2015.
You might already be using WhatsApp Business as a communications channel for things like customer service, customer feedback, and marketing.

The process of refunding or replacing a product is an inherently sensitive situation that can quickly turn into a source of tension or frustration for customers and businesses alike. Let's face it, when we as consumers are looking for a refund or replacement of a product that we’re unsatisfied with, the idea of having to scroll through lengthy pages of information that may or may not be relevant to what we need to know doesn't exactly fill us with joy; nor does the idea of spending extended lengths of time on hold with customer service.
