      Thanks for the information, Lisa!

      You might want to add a secondary tag for SAP Netweaver, so that Basis folks on SCN could see this too. And maybe include ABAP Development as well to spread the word.

      Hey Lisa,

       

      I don't use whatsapp, is there an alternative way to get those Information, e.g. a Website, a RSS-Feed or some Twitter-Accounts?

      (This would also help to easily judge it the infos are worth getting them to you phone.)

      Could a similar arrangement be made to push these support, KBA messages through WeChat ?

      In mainland China and Chinese speaking world, WeChat is the de facto messaging platform used.

      Pls kindly explore further.

      Hi Lisa,

       

      1. Can we have the near feature release S/4HANA innovations relevant updates under the title "S/4HANA" ?
      2. Are we having any "User Experience" whatsapp number for FIORI/UI5?
      3. Can we have the forthcoming "event" updates irrespective of the geography?
      4. Can we have the Localization specific updates so that we can get country specific localization updates? e.g., GST in India.
      5. Are we having SAP products specific whatsapp number?

      Hello. Why you don't use Telegram that is 100 times better than Whatsapp and supports natively groups, etc ?

      Author's profile photo Lisa Arroyo
      Lisa Arroyo
      Blog Post Author

      Hello Marco! Thank you for your suggestion. There are many reasons why we had to discontinue these channels which include GDPR requirements which apply to all messenger apps. While Telegram may have been a good alternative, regulations are frequently changing and vary from country to country. This makes it difficult to manage and it would not be a good user experience to keep switching platforms as these changes occur.
