Your number

Your own number. Keep the WhatsApp Business app.

Meta walks you through connecting in a popup: pick your business, pick a number and come back. Already using the WhatsApp Business app on your phone? Keep it. Your contacts and up to 180 days of chats come across once, and replies arrive in both places.

  • Connect WhatsApp in Meta's own signup window
  • Keep your WhatsApp Business app on your phone
  • A Setup checklist, quality rating and messaging limit in plain words
Broadcasts

Send one message to everyone who said yes.

Pick who it's for, pick an approved template, fill in the blanks and send now or schedule it for later. Then see where every message got to: sent, delivered, read, replied or failed, and why.

  • Five steps: Audience, Template, Personalise, Schedule, Review
  • Templates in English, French, Arabic, Swahili, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and more
  • Marketing messages only reach contacts who opted in
Chatbot

Let Chip answer your WhatsApp while you work.

Answer a few questions about your business, what people ask and how to greet them, and Chip turns it into a chatbot in about three minutes. It hands over to your team when it should, and steps back the moment someone replies in the inbox.

  • Answers from your FAQs, prices and opening hours
  • Never invents prices, dates or discounts you didn't give it
  • Can create a lead or a deal, book a slot or make a task
Forms in the chat

Forms that open right inside WhatsApp.

No website needed. Send a form to book a slot, get a quote or leave feedback, and it opens inside the chat. The answers land in the thread and on the contact.

  • Start from Book a slot, Get a quote or How did we do?
  • Send it from the inbox or from a step-by-step reply
  • Step-by-step replies that ask, wait, branch and hand over
Click-to-WhatsApp ads

See which ad started every chat.

When a Facebook or Instagram ad opens a WhatsApp chat, Meta tells us which ad. Each one is followed from the first message to the deal, so you know what your ad money really brings in.

  • Conversations, contacts, deals opened and won, per ad
  • Ad welcome messages with a greeting and quick replies
  • Spend and cost per conversation once your ad account is connected
What comes next

From a WhatsApp message to a paying customer.

A chat is often where a sale starts. Everything after it stays on the same contact.

Questions about WhatsApp

Is this the WhatsApp Business API?
Yes. startbuddi connects your number to Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API through Meta's own signup window, so you get broadcasts, approved templates and a shared inbox on your own business number and name.
Can I keep using the WhatsApp Business app on my phone?
Yes. Choose "connect your existing account" in Meta's window and your number keeps working in the app. Contacts and up to 180 days of chats are imported once, and replies show up in both places.
How do I send WhatsApp bulk messages without getting banned?
Message people who opted in, use templates Meta approved and give them an easy way to opt out. Marketing templates only go to opted-in contacts, your quality rating is always on show, and numbers without a country code can be fixed in one place.
How do I get WhatsApp templates approved by Meta?
Write one in the template editor and click Send to Meta for review. Approval usually takes a few minutes, and templates picked from Meta's library are approved straight away. Statuses sync back on their own.
Which plan do I need for a WhatsApp chatbot?
You can build a chatbot with Chip on Starter. Switching it on to answer customers by itself needs Growth. Connect your real business number: a Meta test number can't create templates or run campaigns.

Turn WhatsApp chats into paying customers.

Your own number, your whole team and Chip on call, in one place. Try it free for 30 days.
