I have build this whole saas app for a company. There is no way you can send promotional message without using WhatsApp api.

That i am aware of but using api is costly, and many businesses cant afford that 
 Trying to find out if there a way to send bulk 1:1 messages ?

Product Manager

You can send marketing messages at around 72 p per conversation and utility at 32 p per 24 hour conversation. I think it's not that costly.

Software Developer

Why don't you use the official APIs provided by meta it's so easy to use

Any tool that you may recommend for sending such messages?

You can try gupshup. I tried this small company called nextel in my previous organisation. They were really good and adequately priced. Check both options.

Performance Marketer

You always make such useless comments or have anything real to say 😭

Has anyone found a way or knows a tool that can send promotional messages over WhatsApp without using the WhatsApp API?  Any leads / workaround would be helpful.

Can someone from marketing and demand generation teams answer this? Do you get every message verified through meta before sending to customers or you have another work around? As getting messages verified is a time taking process and you can't campaign quick ideas immediately.

I wanted to to know if there’s any product or company that provides APIs without having to use my Whatsapp business account?

Is there any product to send WhatsApp message without have a business account?

Any marketer who works in retention marketing and/or has tried whatsapp apart from usual email + sms? Just need some advice. A plus if you've worked with both Indian and international brands.

Anyone here who does whatsapp marketing?

We are working on a small app where Indians prefer to login via mobile number and OTP.
Firebase/Supabase/Appwrite only support a few OTP providers like twilio and all who seems to be expensive for the India Market.
But, there are few local players which are really cheap like 0.2Rs/SMS .
What will be your strategy on integrating these cheap providers into Supabase/firebase.

What’s a startup idea you had but you never built it

I’ll go first. Mine was a high quality alcohol delivery service. But I later realised how difficult it is to pull it off due to regulation.  
  
 BevMo is a huge company in the US doing the same

Business Development Manager

I have created a service in node and wanted to invoke the WA API to send messages to the user. Since the volume is really low (2 messages/month) I was wondering if there is a way to accomplish this task from any free APIs available. I researched using Meta’s WA api directly but when I am trying to take the App Live it is asking for business use case and stuff where the registered business should have a website and all hence hit a blocker.

Wanted to know if their is any free API alternative available. 

Do let me know if you have come across a use case and/or applied something. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello people!! I wanted to understand what Shopify applications are you using to handle/recover abandoned carts(not abandoned checkout) through WhatsApp when it is a returning/existing user.

I understand it is not possible to send alerts on WhatsApp when it is a new user because contact information isn't collected. 

We have been trying out various options like superlemon and interakt and none of them are suiting our purpose. 

So, i request Shopify app recommendations which can address the abandoned cart recovery. TIA.
