Overview

What is WhatsApp Business API (Application Programming Interface)?

The WhatsApp Business API (Application Programming Interface), also called the WhatsApp Business Platform, lets medium and large businesses communicate with customers on WhatsApp at scale — far beyond what the WhatsApp Business app allows.

Send approved template messages such as order updates, OTPs, reminders and offers, run two-way conversations through a shared team inbox, and automate common queries with chatbots.

It integrates with your CRM, e-commerce or support systems so every conversation is tracked and actionable.

Ideal for

D2C and e-commerce brands
Banks and NBFCs
Education institutes
Service businesses
