What Is WATI?
WATI provides a team inbox for WhatsApp and other messaging channels, along with broadcast campaigns, no-code chatbot flows, contact management, routing, and AI agents. Its current channel set also covers Instagram, Facebook Messenger, RCS, SMS, TikTok, web chat, and WhatsApp calling, while APIs, webhooks, and CRM or commerce integrations connect conversations to external workflows.
Best for: Businesses using WhatsApp as a primary customer channel that also want campaigns, automation, team routing, and additional messaging channels.
Wati connects WhatsApp Business Platform messaging to team inbox and automation tools. Agents can work from shared conversations while businesses initiate eligible template messages through approved workflows. Message category, permission and WhatsApp-specific charges affect sending, and the platform should not be evaluated as if it were a channel-neutral SMS provider.
