What you can do with the WhatsApp Business Platform integration
Connect your WhatsApp Business number once and unlock the deepest channel in the platform - appointment and class booking bots, full WhatsApp Commerce, broadcasts, automations, AI chatbots and the omnichannel team inbox. The setup is no-code via Meta's Embedded Signup, or you can use WhatsApp Co-Existence to keep the number active on your phone, or bring your own API keys if you already manage Meta Business directly.
Whether you are a clinic booking appointments, a fitness studio running paid classes, an e-commerce store recovering carts, or a SaaS sending OTPs - this is the foundation that powers every Whautomate workflow. Full step-by-step instructions are in the WhatsApp Cloud API help guide.
Key features
Appointment booking bots
Patients and clients self-book on WhatsApp 24/7 - sync to Google Meet / Zoom, collect deposits via Stripe or Razorpay, and send WhatsApp reminders to slash no-shows.
Class booking bots
Sell single classes, multi-class packs and recurring memberships on WhatsApp - perfect for yoga studios, gyms, tuition centres and online courses.
WhatsApp Commerce
Run a full storefront inside WhatsApp - publish a product catalogue, take orders in chat and collect payments without a website. Pair with Shopify or WooCommerce if you already have a store.
Broadcasts at scale
Send template messages to thousands of contacts with delivery and read receipts, audience segments and click-tracking.
Automations
Trigger journeys on every event - new contact, booking, payment, cart, status change. Each Send Message action has its own wait time so you can build full lifecycle sequences.
AI chatbots
No-code AI chatbots for customer service, lead qualification, appointment booking and class bookings - powered by OpenAI, trained on your content.
WhatsApp Flows support
Build multi-screen Flows for bookings, lead capture, onboarding and surveys - all without leaving WhatsApp.
Meta Embedded Signup
Connect your WhatsApp Business number through Meta's official Embedded Signup flow - the same one used by every Meta Business Partner. Takes minutes, fully Meta-compliant, no manual app review.
WhatsApp Co-Existence
Keep using the WhatsApp Business app on your phone alongside the Cloud API - your team replies from Whautomate while you can still pick up the phone for personal touches. No number migration required.
Bring your own API keys
Already manage your own Meta Business and Cloud API setup? Plug your own access tokens into Whautomate and use everything else - bots, broadcasts, automations, inbox - on top of your existing WABA.
Meta Tech Partner - 0% fees
Whautomate is a Meta Tech Partner. We charge 0% commission on WhatsApp conversation fees - you pay Meta directly for usage and pay us only for the platform.

Can I bring my own Cloud API keys?
Yes. If you already manage your own Meta Business Manager and WhatsApp Business Account (WABA), you can plug your own access tokens into Whautomate and use the platform layer - bots, broadcasts, automations, omnichannel inbox - on top of your existing setup.
Can I keep my existing WhatsApp number?
Yes. If the number is on the WhatsApp Business app you can either migrate it to the Cloud API or use Co-Existence to keep both active in parallel.
How much does WhatsApp Business Platform cost?
Meta charges per conversation based on country and category (marketing, utility, authentication, service). See our pricing calculator for an estimate or the pricing guide for a full breakdown.
Do I need a Facebook Business Manager?
Yes - Meta requires a Business Manager (free) to enable the Cloud API. We guide you through this during Embedded Signup.
Can I use the same chatbot on Instagram, Messenger, Telegram and live chat?
Yes. The bots you build for WhatsApp can be enabled on every other channel - so AI customer service, lead qualification and booking flows run consistently across the omnichannel inbox.
