What is the WhatsApp Business API?
It is Meta's official way for business software to send and receive WhatsApp messages. Unlike the WhatsApp Business app on one phone, it connects to your system, works for many staff at once, and uses approved message templates for messages your business starts.
How much does WhatsApp charge for messages?
Meta charges for some messages based on their type, and its rates change from time to time. We work out the expected cost for your message volume and show it in the quotation.
Should we use ForwardChat or a custom integration?
If you want AI to answer customers on WhatsApp, ForwardChat is ready to use. If WhatsApp needs to work with your own system, such as your orders, bookings or stock, we build a custom integration.
Can it connect to the system we already have?
Usually, yes, if your system can share its data through an API or a database. We check this in the first meeting.
How long does it take?
It depends on how many messages and flows you need. Meta also verifies your business before messages can go out, and we guide you through that step.
