WhatsApp Business API FAQs
Do I need WhatsApp Business API or WhatsApp Business App?
The WhatsApp Business app is designed for businesses managing chats in the app. The WhatsApp Business Platform provides API-based messaging for business workflows. Availability, team setup, and limits depend on your account, provider, and Meta’s current terms. Cuoral helps teams manage WhatsApp engagement workflows.
What setup is required to connect WhatsApp to Cuoral?
Setup needs depend on your WhatsApp account, number, permissions, and the workflow you want to use. Contact us to confirm the current connection steps for your setup.
Can I migrate from Twilio WhatsApp to Cuoral?
Number migration depends on account eligibility and the current provider configuration. Contact our team to review the steps and confirm what can be transferred; do not assume message history or templates move automatically.
What's the difference between WhatsApp OTP and regular messages?
An authentication message is intended to verify a user’s identity. Other business messages use the applicable template category and must follow WhatsApp’s current message rules. Check the latest template requirements before choosing a message type.
Do customers need to opt in before my business messages them?
Yes. WhatsApp requires businesses to have permission to contact people and to respect requests to stop or opt out. Your business is responsible for obtaining and recording appropriate consent and following applicable laws.
When do I need an approved WhatsApp message template?
WhatsApp’s Business Platform generally requires an approved template to start a business-initiated conversation. Replies within the customer service window follow different rules. Review Meta’s current policy and documentation because requirements can change.
How much does WhatsApp messaging cost?
Costs can include your Cuoral plan, channel usage, and charges set by Meta or other providers. Check current pricing and the message types and countries relevant to your use case before estimating your monthly total. See Cuoral pricing.
