No free APIs. You can use third party vendor APIs like zoko, gupshup etc. but they're all paid. Apart from this there's a twilio where you can set up some demo accounts and use them for free for some time, but again it'll be one of their testing numbers.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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.

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.

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.

I created a firebase app that uses phone authentication.
It works fine for the dummy registered phone number.
For other numbers, the service is unreliable with a 10% otp send success rate.

Has anyone faced this before, and solved it?

Please do share any other third party otp service you're aware of that's cheaper than twilio.

Thanks!

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.

How is WhatsApp's Monetization strategy aligned with Company's overall vision?

Pretty cool. Would make it accessible to people of all ages/background. Not sure what the business use case is though? Any PM here who can predict?

Have you guys used Meta AI on whatsapp? Thoughts?? Is it better than chatgpt??

META AI on Whatsapp

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.

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
