Connect your WhatsApp Business account (BYO Meta Cloud API). Inbound messages route to any AI Bot for auto-reply in your knowledge base. Outbound from the dashboard. Multilingual support.
If your customers are in Latin America, the Middle East, India, Spain, or Italy — they expect WhatsApp, not email. But your CRM probably doesn't have an inbox for it, your team replies from personal phones, and replies go missing the moment that team member leaves.
Twilio Flex is $500-$2,000/mo and requires a 2-week setup. Manychat starts cheap but pivots aggressively to upsell. Either path is overkill for an SMB that just needs a real WhatsApp inbox with AI auto-reply.
WhatsApp Business plugs your dedicated WhatsApp Cloud API number into a shared team inbox. Same AI Bot answering on your website also answers on WhatsApp — one trained brain, two channels. $59/mo flat.
Concrete numbers, not marketing-speak. Each row is one outcome — what it cost you before, what it looks like with the add-on running.
If you have AI Bots configured, WhatsApp Business plugs in — incoming messages auto-route to your bot, voice + persona match the web embed. One brain, multiple channels.
Bring your Meta Business credentials. We connect, you start answering. No SI consultants, no MSA negotiation.
WhatsApp Business pricing tiers can quickly become 4-figure bills. Our cap protects you — hit 50k → bot pauses, no Meta overage.
Concrete outcomes, not feature checklists.
Every WhatsApp conversation appears alongside web chats. Unified inbox, no app-switching.
Same bot persona, same knowledge base. Customer asks "do you ship to UK?" → bot answers from your help-center docs.
Switch bots mid-conversation. Sales bot for prospects, support bot post-purchase.
Send a manual message or trigger a template-based notification (order shipped, booking confirmed).
With AI Voice Bots add-on, bot replies can play as voice notes — sounds like a real WhatsApp voice msg.
Bot detects the customer's language and replies in it. Useful for international SMBs.
Plain-language walk-through. No buzzwords.
BYO Cloud API token + WhatsApp Business phone number ID
Paste your Meta Business credentials. Webhook auto-configured. Live in 30 min.
Meta webhook → message_handler → bot retrieval → reply via Cloud API
Customer messages your business on WhatsApp. Your bot answers in seconds, in their language, from your trained knowledge.
Threads persisted to whatsapp_threads + whatsapp_messages tables; auto-CRM on email capture
You see every conversation in /admin/messages. Emails captured during chat auto-create leads.
Guests message your WhatsApp number in Arabic, French, or English. Bot answers instantly with rates, restaurant hours, spa availability. Hands off to front desk for bookings.
Reservations on WhatsApp bypass the call-and-leave-voicemail problem. Bot collects name + party size + time, syncs to your booking system, confirms via WhatsApp.
Order status, shipping ETA, return policy — bot answers from your knowledge base. Customer emails drop 60% because everyone prefers WhatsApp.
What WhatsApp Business is, why it's smart, how it makes you profitable, and the upside vs. doing nothing — all in the time it takes to brew a coffee.
Hey, Sophia. Listen — if any of your customers are in Latin America, the Middle East, Spain, Italy, India, or really half the world outside the US, they expect WhatsApp not email. And most small businesses have no real way to handle that. Replies come through a team member's personal phone, get lost when that person leaves, and there's no record in your CRM. WhatsApp Business gives you a real shared inbox tied to your own Cloud API number. Fifty-nine dollars a month, flat. The killer feature is the AI tie-in. If you already run AI Bots, the same bot trained on your website also answers WhatsApp DMs — twenty-four seven, the same tone, the same RAG answers. Multilingual detection means a Spanish-speaking customer gets a Spanish reply automatically. Voice messages get transcribed and answered too. If you're losing WhatsApp leads right now — and you are if you don't have this — this add-on plugs a hole that's bigger than most founders realize.
Voiced by Sophia — the same voice that runs on the AI Phone Agent.
Every call sends data into the tools you already use. No copy-paste, no manual entry, no "we'll get back to you on Monday."
Enter your real numbers. The math is shown step-by-step — no marketing magic, no cherry-picked "average customer" numbers. Just your own data, calculated live.
Math is an estimate, not a guarantee. Your conversion rate depends on call quality, follow-up speed, and offering. Sophia improves the first two; you control the third.
No cherry-picking. If a competitor wins a row, we say so.

Honest note: Twilio Flex wins at enterprise scale (10k+ msgs/day, omni-channel). For an SMB doing WhatsApp DMs as a side channel, $59 is unbeatable.
Anyone marked "beta" is a real early-access customer who agreed to be quoted by name. We never fabricate testimonials.
“Sixty percent of our buyer messages come through WhatsApp because we sell into Mexico. Before this, we'd lose half on weekends. Now the bot answers in Spanish overnight and we wake up to qualified leads.”
Multi-tenant by design. Every customer's data is isolated by Postgres row-level security. We minimize what we collect and store — see the list on the right.
Mint a bearer in your dashboard. Hit the same endpoint from code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor — no extra add-on, no metered surprises.
Yes — you create one (free) at developers.facebook.com, add the WhatsApp product, get a phone number. Setup is ~30 min, our checklist walks you through it.
Within Meta's 24-hour-reply window: yes, free-form. Outside it: only via approved message templates (Meta requires this).
One number per org currently. Multi-number coming when Meta verifies your business at scale.
Our integration uses Cloud API. The free WhatsApp Business app does not support bots/automation — Meta blocks it.
$59/month flat. 50,000 messages / month. Cancel anytime, full CSV export available on day 1. No annual contract, no hidden tier-ups.
