How WhatsApp Business API Integration Works

Learn how your business can connect directly with customers through WhatsApp, securely, instantly, and at scale with WapsChat.

1️⃣ Understanding the WhatsApp Business API

The WhatsApp Business API is designed for medium and large businesses to communicate efficiently with their customers. It allows automated, secure, and scalable interactions — all through your verified WhatsApp number.
