WhatsApp Business API in Bengaluru
What is the WhatsApp Business API for businesses in Bengaluru?
The WhatsApp Business API lets a Bengaluru company send approved template messages and run two-way chat at scale, through a REST API with webhooks, chatbots and agent handoff. SaaS, D2C and logistics teams use it for onboarding, order updates and support.
Why WhatsApp suits Bengaluru businesses
Bengaluru engineering teams want an API, not a dashboard. The WhatsApp Business API sends templates and receives customer replies through the same kind of REST calls and webhooks used for SMS, so it fits an existing notification service.
Support is often the bigger use. A customer asks about an order on WhatsApp, a bot handles the routine question in English or Kannada, and an agent takes over with the order history when needed.

What you need before using the WhatsApp Business API in Bengaluru
These requirements come from Meta and are the same in Bengaluru as anywhere else.
A verified business account: a WhatsApp Business account tied to your business. See account verification.
Customer opt-in: message only people who agreed to hear from you on WhatsApp.
Approved templates: business-initiated messages use templates approved by Meta. See message templates.
The customer-service window: after a customer messages you, you can reply with free-form messages for 24 hours; after that a template is needed.
Connect your systems through the API integration and webhooks, or send campaigns with the broadcast API. Primary source: WhatsApp Business policy.

WhatsApp Business API questions from Bengaluru businesses
Can Bengaluru developers integrate WhatsApp through an API?
Yes. Send templates by REST call and receive customer replies and delivery status through webhooks. See the integration and webhook pages.
Can a bot handle Kannada and English?
Yes. You design the flows and replies in each language, and route to an agent when the bot cannot help.
Do I need a WhatsApp Business API account to message customers in Bengaluru?
To send business-initiated messages at scale, yes. The API is for businesses messaging many customers with approved templates, which the WhatsApp Business app is not built for.
How much does the WhatsApp Business API cost in Bengaluru?
Price depends on the message category and volume, and Meta sets per-message rates, not the city. See WhatsApp API pricing for India or request a quote.
