Messaging Providers & Integration

Three channels, three gateways — integrated into the Alpine Portal admin panel.

Each channel connects to its designated provider. API credentials are stored securely on the backend; webhooks are validated where supported.

SMS
mTalkz gateway
RCS
Karix APIs
WhatsApp
Meta Cloud API
1 Wallet
Cross-channel billing

SMS — mTalkz (msgn.mtalkz.com)

SMS sending, Unicode SMS, personalized campaigns, DLR handling, and reports. DLT template selection, Sender ID/route selection, and delivery receipt tracking.

RCS — Karix

RCS template management, campaign broadcasting, delivery tracking, and reports. Bot ID selection, rich card templates, and approval status sync.

WhatsApp — Meta Cloud API

Meta Embedded Signup, WABA/number onboarding, template management, campaign sending, webhook handling, and delivery/read receipts.

Unified Wallet & Billing

Single wallet balance per customer account. Channel-wise debit on send, configurable pricing, transaction ledger, low-balance alerts, and reconciliation.

What We Deliver

The engagement covers SMS, RCS, and WhatsApp modules, a unified wallet and billing system, cross-channel reporting, admin panel integration, a dedicated staging environment, and production deployment support after UAT sign-off.

Terms & Conditions

Scope & Deliverables

Scope covers SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, wallet & billing, reporting, admin panel integration, staging environment, and production deployment support as specified in this proposal.
Fixed investment: ₹16,00,000 for the complete scope over 3 months.
Out-of-scope items (CRM modules, mobile apps, provider account procurement, regulatory filings, major portal redesign) require separate agreement.
Any scope changes require written approval and may impact timeline or cost.
Legacy Omni Portal references, if any, are reference material only — not the target system for enhancement.

Payment Terms

Total project fee: ₹16,00,000 (+ 18% GST).
Milestone 1 (30%): ₹4,80,000 on signing — development begins upon receipt.
Milestone 2 (35%): ₹5,60,000 at end of Month 2 — RCS and WhatsApp on staging, wallet foundation complete.
Milestone 3 (35%): ₹5,60,000 on production go-live and handover.
Invoices payable within 7 days of issue.

Timeline & Dependencies

Fixed delivery timeline: 3 months from project kickoff.
Timeline assumes timely access to Alpine Portal codebase, staging/production environments, API credentials, provider accounts, DLT templates, RCS Bot IDs, Meta Business Manager access, wallet pricing rules, and client UAT feedback within agreed windows.
Delays in third-party approvals, provider configuration, API access, business rule confirmation, or UAT feedback may impact the final delivery schedule.
Production deployment happens only after successful staging UAT and written sign-off.

Team & Resources

Team structure and role allocation are defined in the Phased Plan section.
Team allocation may be adjusted internally by 1000xdev without impacting deliverables or fixed price.
Client to provide a single point of contact for decisions and UAT coordination to maintain the 3-month schedule.

Assumptions

The existing Alpine Portal codebase is accessible and maintainable.
Required APIs are available and functional; provider credentials will be shared on time.
The client will provide business rules for wallet pricing and refund logic by end of Month 1.
Provider-side approvals (DLT, RCS Bot, WhatsApp template) are handled by the client.
Any delays in third-party approvals may impact the final delivery timeline.

Intellectual Property

Upon final payment, all custom code and integrations created for this project become the property of MTalkz.
1000xdev retains rights to generic frameworks and reusable components.
MTalkz may use the project as a portfolio case study with prior approval.

Support & Warranty

30 days post-launch bug-fix support included for delivered functionality.
Response times: Critical (system down) — 4 hours; High (functional issues) — 24 hours; Low — 48 hours.
Post-deployment monitoring support during the agreed handover period.
Ongoing maintenance and feature development available via separate agreement.

Operational controls and client responsibilities for a safe production rollout.

The solution is developed with security and operational controls. Regulatory and provider-side approvals remain the client's responsibility.

01Security measures

API credentials are never exposed on the frontend. Provider credentials are stored securely in backend environment configuration.

  • Role-based access control and customer-level data isolation
  • Audit logging for key admin actions, campaigns, and wallet transactions
  • Webhook validation where supported by providers
  • Production deployment only after staging UAT sign-off

02Compliance dependencies (client responsibility)

The following regulatory and provider-side approvals are handled by the MTalkz team:

  • DLT registration and DLT-approved SMS templates; Sender ID approval
  • RCS Bot approval and Karix account access
  • WhatsApp Business verification, template approval, and Meta Business Manager access
  • Pricing rules for all channels (wallet configuration)

03Staging environment purpose

A dedicated staging deployment enables safe validation before production.

  • Internal development validation and API integration testing
  • Webhook testing and delivery status validation
  • Wallet debit and reconciliation testing
  • Client UAT and final sign-off before production rollout

04Acceptance criteria

The project is accepted once all criteria below are met on staging, with written UAT sign-off:

  • SMS, RCS, and WhatsApp modules accessible from Alpine Portal admin panel
  • Campaign creation and sending functional; delivery reports captured for all channels
  • Wallet debit on send; campaigns blocked when balance is insufficient
  • Transaction ledger captures debits, credits, and refunds per agreed rules
  • Only approved templates available for campaigns; RBAC and data isolation enforced
  • Campaign and recipient-level reports with CSV/XLSX export available
Engineering depth is here so it isn't hidden — but it isn't the headline. The page above has the shape of the solution; this section has the arguments behind it.

Ready to unify Alpine Portal messaging

We're excited to partner with MTalkz on this omni-channel messaging integration — turning the Alpine Portal into a unified platform for SMS, RCS, and WhatsApp communication.

What you get:

Three channels — SMS (mTalkz), RCS (Karix), WhatsApp (Meta Cloud API) • Unified operations — campaigns, templates, wallet billing, and cross-channel reporting • 3-month delivery — parallelized plan aligned to your 3–4 month window • Fixed investment — ₹16,00,000 with milestone-based payments

Let's build a scalable messaging foundation for Alpine Portal.
