WhatsApp Business API for Indian Businesses
The official API that lets you automate conversations, send broadcasts, and build AI on top of WhatsApp — set up and running in 7 days.
What Is WhatsApp Business API?
WhatsApp Business API is Meta's official platform for businesses that need more than the WhatsApp Business App. Unlike the free app, the API allows unlimited automated messages, AI chatbot integration, multi-agent access, CRM connection, and broadcast campaigns to opted-in customers. In India, businesses access the API through a Business Solution Provider (BSP) like Orbixel. The API is not an app you download — it's a programmable interface that Orbixel connects to your website, CRM, and AI systems, turning WhatsApp into a full customer communication and revenue channel.

Frequently Asked Questions
WhatsApp Business API is Meta's official platform for medium and large businesses that need automated messaging, AI chatbots, multi-agent access, and CRM integration. Unlike the free WhatsApp Business App (limited to 1 device and 256 broadcast contacts), the API supports unlimited scale and full automation.
API access itself is free. You pay your BSP for setup and maintenance (Orbixel: ₹15,000–₹41,999 one-time setup), plus Meta's conversation charges (first 1,000 service conversations free per month, then ~₹0.30–₹0.58 per conversation depending on type).
With Orbixel, complete setup — Meta verification, number onboarding, AI chatbot build, and CRM connection — takes 7 days from payment confirmation.
The best provider depends on your needs. For businesses that want a complete AI system (not just broadcasts), Orbixel builds custom solutions with CRM, voice agents, and marketing — not a SaaS subscription. For pure broadcast campaigns, AiSensy or Interakt are simpler options.
Yes, Orbixel can migrate your existing WhatsApp Business number to the API. The process takes 24–48 hours and your contacts and history are preserved.
