WhatsApp CRM Integration

Every conversation,on the customer record

We connect the WhatsApp Business Platform to your CRM, so every conversation is stored on the right contact, replies come from a shared team inbox and approved templates send updates customers agreed to receive.

01Our Approach

Customers already write to your business on WhatsApp, and those conversations belong in your CRM instead of on an employee's phone.

02Overview

WhatsApp conversations inside your CRM

  • 01Chats on contacts
  • 02Templates approved
  • 03Opt-in recorded

WhatsApp CRM integration links your business number on the WhatsApp Business Platform to your CRM. Incoming messages are matched to a contact by phone number and logged on its timeline. Agents reply from the CRM or a connected inbox. Order updates, appointment reminders and follow-ups are sent as message templates that Meta has approved. We build on Meta's Cloud API and its webhooks.

It suits teams whose sales and support already happen on WhatsApp through personal phones, with no record when someone leaves. The platform has firm rules. A business may reply freely only within a limited window after the customer's last message. Outside it, only approved templates may be sent, to people who opted in, and Meta charges for them. We design the flows around those rules.

03What We Do

Capabilities, End to End

01
Contact and message mapping

Phone numbers are normalized to one format and matched to contacts, and each message, attachment and delivery status is stored on the CRM record with its conversation.

02
Inbound and outbound rules

Messages from customers always flow into the CRM. Outbound messages start only from the CRM, by an agent or an automation, never from a personal handset.

03
Platform access

The integration uses a system user token from your Meta business portfolio with messaging permissions only, and webhook payloads are verified before they are trusted.

04
Undelivered message queue

Messages the platform rejects, for example a template sent to someone who has not opted in, are held with Meta's error code for review.

05
Ordered retries

Webhook events are stored on arrival and applied in sequence, and outbound sends are retried with care so a customer never receives the same message twice.

06
Quality and cost monitoring

Delivery and read rates, template status, the number's quality rating and charged messages by category are reported, with alerts when a template is paused.

01
Prepare the account

We help you verify the business with Meta, register the number on the platform and decide whether to connect directly or through a solution provider you already use.

02
Design conversations

Routing, working hours, handover between people and any automated replies are agreed with managers, and templates are written and submitted for approval in each language you use.

03
Build and connect

Webhook handling, contact matching, sending and CRM logging are built and then tested with a test number, including media, replies to old threads and blocked recipients.

04
Move the team

Agents switch from personal phones to the shared inbox in stages, existing customers are told about the official number and the results are reviewed with managers.

08Who It Is For

Built for Teams Like Yours

FLAGSHIP
Your customer conversations live on personal phones

Sales and support talk to customers on WhatsApp from their own handsets. Managers cannot see what was promised. When an employee leaves, the history leaves too. Reminders are typed one by one, and nobody knows who agreed to receive them.

09Questions

What buyers ask before they start

If yours is not here, ask us directly. The first conversation is free and useful whether or not we work together.

Book a call

A Meta business portfolio, verification of your business by Meta, a phone number registered on the WhatsApp Business Platform and a display name that Meta accepts. Meta's On-Premises API has been retired, so integrations now use its Cloud API. Meta applies messaging limits that can rise over time. We guide you through each step, though approval decisions rest with Meta and follow its current policies.

Meta's documentation describes pricing per delivered template message, with the rate depending on the template's category, such as marketing, utility or authentication, and the recipient's country. Replies written freely inside the customer service window are not charged, according to the same documentation. Rates and rules change, so we use Meta's current rate card when estimating. A solution provider, if you use one, adds its own fees.

Only with their opt-in and an approved template. After a customer writes to you, a service window opens during which agents may answer in free text. Once it closes, the business must use a template, and marketing templates need clear prior consent. We record how and when each person opted in, and honour a request to stop immediately in both WhatsApp and the CRM.

Not as the main channel, if you want records. Conversations held in the consumer or small business app on a personal phone do not pass through the platform, so nothing reaches the CRM. With this integration, agents answer from the CRM or a shared inbox on the business number. Whether the app and the platform can share one number depends on Meta's current options, which we check for your case.

Several do, and their built-in WhatsApp channels are a good starting point. They suit teams that need a shared inbox and basic templates. Custom integration becomes worthwhile when you need your own routing, messages triggered by events in other systems, more than one number or a CRM that has no WhatsApp channel. We look at what your vendor includes before proposing anything further.
