Frequently Asked Questions about WhatsApp & SMS Marketing
What is WhatsApp Business API and how do I get started?
WhatsApp Business API is the official platform for sending bulk messages. Apply through Meta Business, get approval, then integrate through a messaging provider. Costs are per-conversation (typically ₹0.50-₹2 per conversation).
Can I send promotional messages on WhatsApp?
Yes, but you need customer opt-in and must use approved message templates. Unsolicited promotional messages can result in account suspension. Always respect customer preferences.
How can I integrate WhatsApp with my CRM system?
Use WhatsApp Business API with CRM integrations (Zapier, Make, native connectors). This enables automated messages based on customer actions like purchases, sign-ups, or support tickets.
What's the best way to use SMS vs WhatsApp for marketing?
WhatsApp for engaged audiences (higher open rates), SMS for critical alerts and universal reach. Many businesses use both in an omnichannel strategy for maximum coverage.
Are there any compliance requirements for bulk messaging?
Yes. TCPA (US), GDPR (EU), and TRAI (India) regulations require opt-in consent, easy opt-out options, and clear sender identification. Always maintain compliance to avoid penalties.
