WhatsApp Business API

Enterprise messaging the free Business App cannot do.

The WhatsApp Business API (WhatsApp Business Platform) is Meta’s enterprise messaging infrastructure. It has no built-in inbox — you access it through a Business Solution Provider (BSP) like LasMind, which provides the dashboard, chatbot builder, and integrations.

  • Unlimited opted-in broadcasts

    Reach thousands of customers with Meta-approved templates — far beyond the WhatsApp Business App’s 256-contact broadcast lists.

  • Multiple agents, one number

    A shared inbox lets your whole team reply on one WhatsApp Business number without sharing a phone.

  • Automation and CRM hooks

    Chatbots, workflows, and integrations turn WhatsApp into a revenue channel, not just a chat app.

  • Marketing, utility, and authentication templates

    Send campaigns, order updates, OTPs, and reminders with templates that meet Meta’s guidelines.

Why LasMind

From missed chats to a revenue automation system.

Most businesses using manual WhatsApp face missed messages, no follow-ups, and lost leads. LasMind turns WhatsApp into a revenue automation system — not just a chat tool.

  • Verified and compliant setup

    Meta Business Partner status and end-to-end help with Business Verification and Green Tick (Official Business Account) applications. Support for DPDP Act 2023 and TRAI TCCCPR compliance, including consent capture and DLT registration guidance.

  • No-code and fully managed

    We handle WABA creation, phone number registration, template approval, and API setup — no developer required for standard onboarding.

  • Revenue-focused automation

    AI-powered chatbots, abandoned-cart recovery, and lead-qualification workflows designed to increase conversions by up to 2–3x.

Platform features

Everything you need to run WhatsApp at scale.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about LasChat and the WhatsApp Business API. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.

Is the WhatsApp Business API official and approved by Meta?

Yes. LasMind provides the official Meta Cloud API through a verified Business Solution Provider (BSP) setup. Your business gets a verified WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) with Meta.

Do I need a BSP, or can I use the API directly?

While Meta’s Cloud API is self-serve, most Indian businesses prefer a BSP like LasMind for faster onboarding, green-tick assistance, template approval support, chatbot builders, and compliance guidance — without hiring developers.

What is the 24-hour session window?

When a customer messages you, a 24-hour service window opens. Within this window, you can reply with any type of message (including free-form) without a template. Outside the window, you must use Meta-approved templates (marketing, utility, or authentication).

Can I use my existing WhatsApp number?

Yes, in most cases. However, if the number is currently active on the WhatsApp Business App or personal WhatsApp, it must be migrated to the API. LasMind handles the migration process for you.

How do I get the Green Tick (Official Business Account)?

The green tick is granted by Meta based on brand notability and verification. LasMind assists with the application, ensuring your Business Manager profile, display name, and documents meet Meta’s requirements.

What are the messaging limits?

The WhatsApp Business App limits broadcasts to 256 contacts per list. The API has no such cap — you can send to thousands or millions of opted-in users, subject to Meta’s quality rating and tier-based limits (which scale automatically with healthy usage).

Is WhatsApp marketing compliant with Indian laws?

Yes, when done correctly. You must obtain verifiable opt-in consent from recipients and comply with the DPDP Act 2023 and TRAI TCCCPR amendments. LasMind builds consent capture and DLT registration into your onboarding workflow.

How much does it cost to get started?

There is no setup fee for standard onboarding. You pay Meta’s per-message rates (see the pricing section) plus LasMind’s platform fee. Contact us for a quote based on your expected monthly volume. LasChat is currently in Beta.

Can I integrate WhatsApp with my CRM or e-commerce platform?

Absolutely. LasMind supports integrations with Zoho, Freshworks, Shopify, WooCommerce, WebEngage, MoEngage, CleverTap, Google Sheets, and custom APIs.

What happens if my message quality rating drops?

Meta assigns a quality rating (Green, Yellow, Red) based on user feedback (blocks, reports). A low rating can reduce your messaging limits. LasMind’s analytics dashboard helps you monitor quality and optimise templates to maintain a healthy rating.
