What is WhatsApp Cloud API?
WhatsApp Cloud API simplifies the process of obtaining WhatsApp Business API by allowing businesses to get approved directly by Facebook.
The WhatsApp Cloud API is the cloud version of WhatsApp Business API, enabling businesses to build on WhatsApp and customize their experiences to respond to customers quickly and easily. It’s an easy and fast process since businesses can get direct approval from Facebook for WhatsApp Cloud API.
With WhatsApp Cloud API, businesses can access the service and engage with customers seamlessly.
How does WhatsApp Cloud API work?
The WhatsApp Cloud API opens WhatsApp to all businesses globally, letting them customize their experiences with WhatsApp. With the Cloud API, businesses can set up WhatsApp Business Accounts in minutes with direct approval from Facebook.
Facebook takes care of hosting and maintenance, which Business Service Providers (BSPs) used to manage. However, Facebook doesn’t provide a platform to use WhatsApp Cloud API directly, so you'll need a platform like Samwad to leverage WhatsApp Business API for your business operations.
