| 54 | -WhatsApp provides API to let businesses send WhatsApp messages to their customers using their APIs. | |
| 58 | +== Add WhatsApp Chat Button with Chatbot Integration == | |
| 55 | 59 | |
| 56 | -Earlier, if you had to send WhatsApp messages or notifications, there were only two ways to do it: | |
| 60 | +Add WhatsApp chat button to your website to allow your visitors to directly interact with you. | |
| 57 | 61 | |
| 58 | -1. You either used **hack-y browser extensions or desktop / mobile apps** that would work on top of WhatsApp Web or your WhatsApp phone app to send the messages in a *shady* and [unauthorized](https://faq.whatsapp.com/1104252539917581/) way. This was a good way to get your phone number **banned** by WhatsApp! | |
| 62 | +https://youtu.be/JHbgpnT2eX0 | |
| 59 | 63 | |
| 60 | -2. Or, you had to sign up with one of the WhatsApp approved **Business Service Providers (BSPs)**, who acted like brokers between you and WhatsApp, and you had to pay them high monthly fees to use APIs. Not only you had to pay high monthly fees, they even charged you a premium of 15–20% on top of WhatsApp API's [conversation-based pricing](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/pricing/). | |
| 64 | +Boost your engagement with integrating the button with our **WhatsApp chatbot** or other automations to respond to user queries on autopilot 24/7. | |
