WhatsApp marketing & Business API · Updated November 2026
WhatsApp Business API setup, opt-in lists, approved templates and broadcasts that customers welcome, plus instant follow-up for click-to-WhatsApp ads. Done officially, so your number stays safe and your messages get read.
Why WhatsApp
In Kantar’s research for Meta, over 70% of Indians said they prefer messaging a business to emailing, calling or visiting its website, and about 75% said they’re more likely to buy from a business they can message. More recently, Kantar found 91% of online adults in India chat with a business every week. WhatsApp is where your customers already are.
The difference between marketing and spam is permission and relevance. I build opt-in lists, write useful messages and send them through the official WhatsApp Business Platform, never unofficial bulk senders. It’s one part of my marketing automation services in Delhi, alongside CRM and lead follow-up.

What's included
From verified number to the first broadcast and every reply after it.
Your number on the WhatsApp Business Platform through an approved provider, with your business verified.
Opt-in collected at forms, checkout, QR codes and chats, and stored with consent.
Marketing and utility templates written and approved, then sent to the right segments.
Meta ads that open a WhatsApp chat, with an instant reply and follow-up.
Shared inbox for your team, auto-replies, and follow-up sequences.
Delivered, read, replied and orders or bookings from each campaign.
Costs
Since 1 July 2025, Meta charges per message on the WhatsApp Business Platform. Marketing templates are always charged. Utility templates, such as order updates, are free inside the 24-hour window after a customer messages you, and normal replies in that window are free. When someone starts a chat from a click-to-WhatsApp ad and you reply within 24 hours, a free 72-hour window opens.
That’s why good WhatsApp marketing mixes broadcasts with conversations customers start, and why I plan campaigns around those windows. Message fees are billed by Meta through your provider, not by me.
Staying safe
Numbers get restricted when people report messages as spam. These rules keep yours healthy.
No unofficial bulk-sender tools or apps, which break WhatsApp's rules and get numbers banned.
Only people who opted in receive marketing messages, with an easy way to opt out.
Segments by interest and history, so each message is useful to the person getting it.
A few good messages a month, not daily blasts; quality rating watched every week.

Yes, usually. The number is moved to the Business Platform; it can’t stay on the WhatsApp app at the same time.
No. WhatsApp requires opt-in for business messages, and messaging people who didn’t agree leads to blocks and reports.
