WhatsApp Business API in India

wChatFlowAI walks you through Meta’s Embedded Signup, which creates your WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) and registers your number. Meta’s own reviews of your business, display name and templates decide how long it takes. Follow the steps below to connect your number and send your first approved template.

WhatsApp Business API

What is the WhatsApp Business API?

The WhatsApp Business API (also called the WhatsApp Business Platform or Cloud API) is Meta’s messaging infrastructure for medium and large businesses — distinct from the free WhatsApp Business App, which is limited to one device and one user.

You can connect to Meta directly, but most businesses use a provider like wChatFlowAI that handles the technical integration (webhooks, template approval, number registration) and adds the tools businesses actually need: bulk messaging, automation, AI replies and a shared team inbox.

Meta charges per delivered message. The rate depends on the category: marketing, utility or authentication. Replies you send inside an open 24-hour customer service window are free for the first 1,000 per phone number each month, then charged. Meta needs a payment method on your WhatsApp account before it delivers charged messages.

  • Sign up for wChatFlowAI and choose a plan.
  • Connect your Meta Business account through Embedded Signup.
  • Register your phone number and verify it with a one-time code.
  • Submit your first message template for Meta approval.
  • Start messaging customers once the template is approved.
