A platform built to do WhatsApp properly
Everything a team needs to sell and support on WhatsApp — in one place, on the official API.
Official API, your choice of number
Run on the official WhatsApp Business API on a new number, or keep your existing number with Coexistence. You can also connect a standard WhatsApp number — flexibility most providers do not offer.
No-code automation & AI
Build chatbot flows with a visual editor, set auto-replies and schedule messages. An AI assistant can answer, qualify and route conversations without a developer.
Bulk campaigns that convert
Send WhatsApp broadcasts to opted-in segments, personalise them with contact fields, and track delivery — no separate campaign tool required.
A CRM inside WhatsApp
Every chat becomes a contact. Add custom fields, colour-coded labels and internal notes, and see the whole conversation history on one screen.
A developer-grade API
A complete REST API and webhooks let you connect Wassenger to your CRM, e-commerce or internal tools — plus native Zapier, Make and n8n support.
Reseller & white-label ready
Agencies and partners can run Wassenger under their own brand with the white-label reseller program — room to grow well beyond a single inbox.
