WhatsApp Business integration
Integrating your Agent with WhatsApp Business lets you offer automated support directly on the world's most widely used messaging platform. This feature is especially useful for businesses that want to automate customer service or provide 24/7 assistance to their customers.
How the integration works
To integrate an AIsuru Agent with WhatsApp Business, you need to go through a WhatsApp Business Service Provider authorized by Meta. These partners provide access to WhatsApp's official APIs and manage the required technical infrastructure.
Integration process
Choose a WhatsApp Business partner: select an authorized provider that supports third-party AI integrations;
Set up the integration: the partner will handle connecting your WhatsApp Business account to their APIs;
Connect your Agent: once the base is configured, you can integrate your AIsuru Agent through the partner's APIs.
Recommended partners
Some of the most reliable providers in the industry include:
Respond.io: official WhatsApp partner with a solid track record
Vonage: provider with comprehensive business communication solutions
Other Meta-certified partners available in the official directory
💡 Contact your chosen partner directly for a personalized quote, as each provider has its own pricing and integration methods.
Cost model
WhatsApp Business uses a conversation-based pricing model. As an example, estimated at around €0.0572 per conversation. What counts as a conversation? Each message sent or received is counted separately.
Practical example
For a simple restaurant reservation:
Customer: "I'd like to book a table"
Agent: "For how many people and when?"
Customer: "2 people at 8:30 PM"
Agent: "Perfect, reservation confirmed"
Total cost: 4 messages × €0.0572 = €0.23
Important considerations
Challenges
Costs: per-conversation pricing can add up quickly at high volumes
Partner dependency: the entire project depends on the timeline and costs of your chosen provider
Technical complexity: requires specific configurations that vary for each partner
How to proceed
Assess the financial feasibility: calculate the expected message volume and associated costs
Contact a WhatsApp partner: request a detailed quote for the integration
Plan the implementation: define the timeline and approach with your chosen partner
Configure your Agent: prepare your AIsuru Agent for the integration
⚠️ Important note: each partner has different procedures, costs, and timelines. It's essential to get specific information from your chosen provider before moving forward with the project.
