Everything you need to run Viber

One journey

Every channel, on a single customer profile.

New: the template rule is already in effect. Since July 1, 2026, Rakuten Viber requires an approved template for every transactional and OTP message. Freeform sent for a transactional use case is billed at the higher promotional rate. Move recurring OTP and order traffic to approved templates to send it at the lower rate.

One channel, 2 rates

Rakuten approves and hosts Viber templates. Pick the mode per step.

Approved template

  • Transactional and OTP — the lower rate.
  • Recurring order updates and login codes.

Freeform text

  • Promo and unplanned content — the higher rate.
  • No approval required before sending.
  • Set message type, frequency capping, and vouchers per step.
  • Migrate recurring traffic to templates for the lower rate.

Combine all channels in one journey

Viber is one step in a journey that also runs push, in-app, email, SMS, WhatsApp, LINE, and Kakao against a single profile. Reach a user on Viber where Viber is what they open, and fall back to SMS or push where it is not.

The most common ways to use Viber

Booking & travel confirmations

Confirm or reschedule for clinics, classes, and trips.

Banking & fintech alerts

Build the audience, then reach it on Viber

Contacts register the first time they message your Viber Business account, or import your existing list by CSV with phone, User ID, and tags.

Match each contact to their Pushwoosh profile, build a segment, and personalize templates with variable substitution.

EU data residency for phone and transaction data

Viber traffic carries phone numbers and transaction details. Pushwoosh runs on its own hardware in the US and Germany, under GDPR and BDSG (ISO 27001:2022, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 1, EU-U.S. DPF). A global brand can serve its Viber markets and Europe from one platform, without stitching a separate vendor to a US cloud.
