📲 openHR is Ready for WhatsApp Usernames

11 Jul 2026
WhatsApp Business usernames are finally opening for registration - and openHR is ready.

For employees, usernames mean no more random numbers: finding HR self-service is as simple as searching for openHR. It’s clean, official, and instantly recognisable.

We’ve also structured usernames to reflect our services:

  • openHRza → for user support
  • openHR → for employee self‑service

This ensures clarity: employees know exactly where to go, and businesses get streamlined support channels.

But usernames also introduce a new dynamic: phone numbers may be hidden. That’s where openHR’s foresight comes in. Our platform still relies on verified mobile numbers linked to employee profiles, combined with identity and passport numbers, ensuring every interaction is secure and traceable.

And when a number is needed, openHR integrates Meta’s WhatsApp number request feature - so even if usernames mask digits, our system can still confirm the right contact behind the scenes.

This isn’t just about adopting a new feature. It’s about showing that openHR anticipates change, builds for resilience, and keeps employee trust at the center.

openHR: ready for the next generation of HR self‑service.
