Before we jump into Wablas integration with Vtiger, let us shed some light on the basics of WhatsApp API and its common features.

WhatsApp API: A business messaging application

With over two billion users across the globe, WhatsApp is dominating our lives with text-based communication with full vigor and strength. Also, it has entered a professional environment to bridge the gap between business and prospects by facilitating seamless communication.

So, why should you use WhatsApp Business API and not the WhatsApp Business application?

WhatsApp API is designed for large businesses to send and receive unlimited messages and aim for enhanced customer engagement. Besides sending messages to unlimited users, you can:

Schedule messages.
Get verified profiles with a green tick.
Install WhatsApp bots to provide 24×7 customer service.
Access WhatsApp from multiple devices.

On the contrary, WhatsApp Business is tailored for small enterprises. It restricts messaging capability to endless users and only provides basic features -to chat individually or in groups.

Hence, it is an ideal solution to use WhatsApp Business API for related marketing activities.

Since WhatsApp API is only an interface, it needs a CRM like Vtiger to streamline messaging effectively. There are many external sources that provide WhatsApp API services to various types of businesses. And, one among them is Wablas.
