💬 WhatsApp Automation

What is WhatsApp automation?

WhatsApp automation lets your business reply to customers and send updates on WhatsApp automatically, even when you are busy or closed. For example:

  • Instant replies to common questions (prices, timings, location)
  • Order confirmations and shipping updates from your website or store
  • Booking and appointment reminders
  • An AI assistant that answers using your business information and hands over to your staff when needed
Do you use the official WhatsApp Business API?

Yes. We set up the official WhatsApp Business API (WhatsApp Cloud API from Meta) on your own Meta Business account. This keeps your number compliant with WhatsApp's rules and lowers the risk of your number being blocked.

You will need a phone number for WhatsApp and basic business details for Meta verification. We guide you through each step.

How much does WhatsApp automation cost?

Our setup prices are one-time:

  • WhatsApp Starter: ₹7,999 (auto-replies, welcome message, quick-reply menu)
  • WhatsApp Business: ₹14,999 (order, booking and payment messages connected to your website or store)
  • AI WhatsApp Assistant: ₹24,999 (AI replies trained on your business information)

WhatsApp message charges are billed by Meta directly to your account, based on how many messages you send. Monthly support for automations starts at ₹1,999/month. See WhatsApp automation pricing.

Yes, we are happy to sign an NDA before you share project details. After full payment, you own the website or app code, design and content created for your project, and all accounts are set up in your name.

Do you offer white label services for agencies abroad?

Yes. Agencies in the USA, UK, UAE and Australia use us to build websites, stores, apps and automations under their own brand, with no CodeServe branding and no direct contact with your clients unless you want it.
