Common questions

Is WhatsApp automation allowed?
Yes, when it follows WhatsApp's business policies. We use the WhatsApp Business app features or the official WhatsApp Business Platform.
Will customers know it's automated?
Automated messages are written to be helpful and clear, and customers can always reach a person.
Does it work with ads?
Yes. Click-to-WhatsApp ads plus automation is one of the strongest combinations for Pakistani businesses.
How much does a WhatsApp chatbot cost in Pakistan?
It depends on the setup. Basic automation in the free WhatsApp Business app costs nothing; a full chatbot on the WhatsApp Business Platform adds Meta's message charges plus setup and any tool subscription. We recommend the simplest option that meets your needs.
Is a WhatsApp chatbot free?
Simple automation in the WhatsApp Business app, such as greeting and away messages, is free. Advanced chatbots on the WhatsApp Business Platform involve Meta's message charges and setup costs.
Can WhatsApp Business send automated messages?
Yes. The WhatsApp Business app can send automatic greeting and away messages and quick replies, and the WhatsApp Business Platform supports full automated conversations.
