WhatsApp Cloud API for business in Kazakhstan: the official channel with no block risk
ChatApp connects the official WhatsApp Cloud API (WACA) straight to Meta: bulk messaging by the rules, any number of agents on one line, and no risk of the number being blocked for a campaign.
How WhatsApp Cloud API differs from regular WhatsApp
WhatsApp Cloud API is Meta's official way into the world's most-used messaging app. Through it you can send campaigns by the rules, build full chatbot automation, put any number of agents on one line, and connect your CRM. Regular WhatsApp is made for personal chats: a campaign risks a block, automation is thin, and real team work on one number isn't supported.
Risk of being blocked
Regular WhatsApp is an unstable channel for business — bulk campaigns violate the app's terms of service.Limited automation
Hard to scale communication or connect full-featured chatbots and CRM systems.Not built for teams
No proper collaboration for several agents on one number without third-party workarounds.Three versions of WhatsApp — which one a business needs

You can only message a customer first with a template — a message layout pre-approved by Meta. Once the customer replies to a template, a 24-hour window opens: during that time you can keep messaging with regular messages for free. The session extends with every new message from the customer, so it may never close as long as the conversation continues.
- 1
Customer receives a template message
A pre-approved Meta template opens or continues the conversation. - 2
The 24-hour window opens
The customer replied — you can now message freely with regular messages. - 3
The window closes after 24 hours of silence
If the customer doesn't reply within a day, the window closes automatically. - 4
Continuing — a template again
To resume the conversation after the window closes, you need another approved template.
Three template categories
What WhatsApp Cloud API costs
Conversations a customer starts are free — up to 1,000 a month, as long as you reply with regular messages, not templates. While the 24-hour window is open, regular messages and templates from the same category are free too. Payment by card or bank transfer, in tenge or US dollars.
