Official WhatsApp Business API for Indian businesses

Why move from the WhatsApp Business app to the API?

The free WhatsApp Business app is fine when one person handles a few dozen chats a day. It starts to creak when five counsellors share one phone, when you need to message 20,000 parents about a fee deadline, or when you want leads to land in a sheet without someone copying them by hand.

The Official WhatsApp Business API is Meta's route for exactly that. Smart Growth AI gives you access to it, sets it up with you, and adds the tools a working team actually uses every day.

What you get

• Template broadcasts: send approved messages with images, videos, documents and buttons to large opted-in lists.
• Shared team inbox: every agent logs in, picks up chats, adds notes and hands over without losing history.
• Automation and chatbots: answer routine questions on timings, fees, courses or doctors automatically, and pass the rest to a person.
• Payment links: Razorpay links for fees, deposits or bookings sent inside the chat.
• Lead capture: new conversations and form replies flow into a free Google Sheet, and into CRMs like Zoho, HubSpot, LeadSquared or TeleCRM via webhook/API.
• Green-tick application help: we guide you through Meta's verification request. Approval is Meta's decision, but a clean application helps.
• Opt-out handling: people who ask to stop are removed from future broadcasts automatically.

How it works

1. Number and profile setup

We help you choose a number, connect it to your Meta business account and complete the profile: logo, address, description and website. Onboarding is done on a call with you, not left to a help article.

2. First templates

Together we write your first few templates. A welcome message, a reminder, an offer and a follow-up usually cover most needs. We submit them and fix anything Meta flags.

3. Inbox and automation

Your team gets logins. We set up a simple bot for common questions and routing rules so a fee query goes to accounts and a course query goes to counselling.

4. Broadcasts and reports

Upload a list, pick a template, schedule. You see sent, delivered, read and replied counts, and every reply drops into the inbox for the team.

Where WhatsApp fits in a bigger campaign

WhatsApp messages cost more than a voice call or an RCS message, so sending them to everyone is often the biggest line on the bill. In the Smart Growth AI Campaign, WhatsApp is held back for people who listened to a voice call for 25 seconds or more, or who pressed 1. Those people get a template with up to 10 videos, and the counsellor's contact. Everyone else is handled by cheaper channels first.

Common uses we set up

A coaching institute sends batch-start reminders and test results. A hospital sends appointment confirmations with the doctor's name and a map link. A lending team sends a document checklist and a link to upload. A school sends a fee reminder with a Razorpay link and a "talk to accounts" button. Same tool, very different days.

Support from real people

Once you are live, you can call us and talk to a person, message us in a dedicated WhatsApp support group, or jump on a WhatsApp call when a screen-share is quicker than an explanation. Ready to start? Book a demo and bring your questions.
