WhatsApp Business API — What You Need to Know

WhatsApp is the world's most popular messaging app. Here's how business messaging works on the platform.

Message Categories

WhatsApp messages fall into four categories: Marketing (promotions, abandoned carts), Utility (order confirmations, shipping updates), Authentication (OTPs, verification codes), and Service (free replies within the 24-hour window).

Per-Message Pricing

Meta charges per message based on category and destination country. Marketing messages cost roughly $0.025–$0.14, Utility $0.004–$0.05, and Service messages are free. Rates vary by country.

24-Hour Customer Service Window

When a customer messages you, a 24-hour timer starts. All your replies during that window — including utility templates — are free. Each new customer message resets the timer.

Click-to-WhatsApp Ads

When a customer clicks your Facebook or Instagram ad that opens WhatsApp, a 72-hour free entry point window starts. All messages (marketing, utility, authentication) are free during this period.

Volume Discounts

Meta offers automatic tiered discounts for utility and authentication messages at higher volumes — up to 25% off at 10M+ messages per month.

Requirements to Get Started

You need a Meta Business Suite account, a verified business (legal documentation), and a BSP (Business Solution Provider) like AssistantLabs for API access, UI, and agent management.

Number Ownership

Each business owns its own WhatsApp Business Account (WABA). You cannot share a phone number between the regular WhatsApp app and the Business API at the same time.

Unified Inbox

All conversations from all channels in one place. Never miss a message, never switch between apps.

  • Single view for WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger & website chats
  • Team assignment and internal notes
  • Contact management with labels and custom fields
  • Conversation history across channels

Channels FAQ

Do I need separate agents for each channel?

No. One agent works across all channels. Train it once and deploy everywhere.

Is WhatsApp integration official?

Yes. We use the official Meta WhatsApp Business API — the same API used by large enterprises. Your messages are end-to-end secure and fully compliant.

Can I use my existing WhatsApp number?

Yes. You can connect your existing business number. Note that a number can only be active on either the regular WhatsApp app or the Business API at any given time — not both simultaneously.

How much do WhatsApp messages cost?

Meta charges per message based on category and destination country. Marketing messages range from ~$0.025 to $0.14, Utility from ~$0.004 to $0.05, and Service messages (replies within 24 hours) are free.

What's the 24-hour customer service window?

When a customer messages you, a 24-hour timer starts. All your replies during that window are free. Each new incoming message resets the timer, so active conversations stay free.

What's the difference between marketing and utility messages?

Marketing messages are promotional — offers, announcements, abandoned-cart reminders. Utility messages are transactional — order confirmations, shipping updates, appointment reminders. Marketing costs more.

Are Click-to-WhatsApp ad conversations free?

Yes. When a customer clicks your Facebook or Instagram ad that opens WhatsApp, a 72-hour free entry point window starts. All messages during this period are free regardless of category.

What do I need to get started with WhatsApp Business API?

You need a Meta Business Suite account, a verified business (legal documentation for Meta's verification process), and a BSP (Business Solution Provider) like AssistantLabs for API access and management.

Does AssistantLabs charge extra on top of Meta's messaging fees?

No. WhatsApp messaging costs are included in your plan. You only pay Meta's per-message fees, which are passed through at cost with no markup.

How do I add the website chat widget?

Copy a single code snippet and paste it into your website. Works with any platform — WordPress, Wix, Shopify, custom HTML, and more.

Can customers switch between channels?

Yes. The unified inbox ties all conversations to the same contact, regardless of which channel they use. Your agent sees the full history.

What are volume discounts for WhatsApp messages?

Meta offers automatic tiered discounts for utility and authentication messages at higher volumes. Discounts scale up to 25% off at 10M+ messages per month.
