One reason why a business might work with a WhatsApp BSP is to enable software features like the use of WhatsApp for multiple agents on several devices. Customers can also receive quicker responses, supported by automated messages by virtual assistants on a WhatsApp chatbot app.

What are the benefits of WhatsApp API?

  • Serve customers 24 hours, non-stop
  • Let AI chatbots automate repetitive conversations and problem resolutions
  • Obtain comprehensive reporting dashboards to monitor sales and customer service on WhatsApp

  • Improve customer service performance to be quicker and more efficient
  • Build customer loyalty with the green checkmark credibility feature
  • Send unlimited broadcast messages at once to thousands of contacts with WhatsApp blast

Notes: Access to the WhatsApp API is controlled and requires approval from WhatsApp and its authorized partners.

WhatsApp Business Account is a regular WhatsApp account for businesses. It allows you to interact with customers using the WhatsApp app. It’s suitable for small-scale customer communication and doesn’t involve programming.

WhatsApp API is a more advanced option for larger businesses. It enables automated messaging and integration with business systems. Developers use the API to build custom solutions for handling large volumes of messages and managing customer interactions programmatically. With WhatsApp Business API, you can easily use the official WhatsApp bulk sender and other advanced features to support your business needs.
