We hold no reseller commission on Meta. That is what makes the trade-off line above worth reading. It costs us nothing to tell you when this is the wrong choice.

Building with WhatsApp Business API

WhatsApp Business API is strongest at the reach and open rates no other channel in India matches. We reach for it when that is the property a workload actually depends on, and we say so when it is not.

The platform economics shape the design more than most teams expect. Conversations are priced by category, and a flow structured so that customers initiate, rather than one that relies on outbound template messages, costs materially less at the same volume.

Template approval is the other practical constraint. Rejections cost days, and the rules change, so we write templates against the current policy and structure flows to minimise how many separate templates a journey needs.

Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions

What is WhatsApp Business API best at?

The reach and open rates no other channel in India matches.

When would you not use WhatsApp Business API?

Strict template approval and conversation-based pricing that shapes how you design flows. We would look at n8n or Zapier in that situation.

Do you have a commercial relationship with Meta?

No. We hold no reseller commission on any technology we recommend, which is what lets the trade-off above be stated plainly.

Can you work with our existing WhatsApp Business API setup?

Yes. We would rather extend and stabilise something that already works than introduce a parallel system your team has to learn.

Working with WhatsApp Business API?

Tell us the workload and we will tell you whether this is the right tool for it.
