Why WhatsApp for Business?

Meet your customers where they already are — and give every enquiry an answer in seconds.

24/7 Instant Responses

Reply to customer questions in seconds, 24/7.

Customer details for your team

The customer’s phone number stays with the conversation. The AI asks what they need and emails your team a summary.

Multi-Language

Auto-detect and respond in 100+ languages for global customer support.

End-to-End Encrypted

All conversations are secured with WhatsApp's built-in encryption.

Rich Cards

Share photos, documents, videos, and booking links during the conversation.

Human Handoff

When customers need personal assistance, the AI provides your team's contact information.

Share photos, documents, and booking links

Add photos, documents, videos, and links to Hyperleap AI. The agent can share them when a customer asks a related question.

The same assets power every channel. On WhatsApp, each card arrives as its own tappable message; on Instagram DM and Facebook Messenger, multiple cards appear as a swipeable carousel.

How to Connect WhatsApp

Creating the agent itself takes under 5 minutes — paste your website URL and Studio builds a starting agent from it. Meta's business verification (step 3) is the one step that takes 1–3 business days.

  1. 1

    Create Your AI Agent

    Sign up for Hyperleap and create your AI agent. Train it with your business knowledge, FAQs, and product information.

  2. 2

    Connect WhatsApp Business

    From the Channels section, click "Connect WhatsApp". You'll be redirected to Meta Business Suite to authorize the connection.

  3. 3

    Verify Your Business

    Complete Meta's business verification process. This typically takes 1-3 business days and ensures your business is legitimate.

  4. 4

    Configure Auto-Responses

    Set your welcome message and instructions. Choose which questions the AI should pass to your team.

  5. 5

    Go Live

    Test your setup with a few messages, then enable the integration. Your AI agent is now live on WhatsApp!

Requirements

What you need before connecting WhatsApp

You'll Need:

A Meta Business Suite account
A verified business (or ability to verify)
A phone number dedicated to WhatsApp Business
A Hyperleap account with an active AI agent

Good to Know:

Business verification takes 1-3 business days
WhatsApp Business API has messaging limits initially
Template messages require Meta approval
You can use an existing or new phone number

What your team receives

Your team receives an email with the customer’s details, what they asked, and the chat history.

Need it in your own systems instead? Webhooks fire on every new lead, message, and conversation, and the full REST API is available on all plans.

For developers: sample webhook payload
{
  "event": "lead.created",
  "channel": "whatsapp",
  "lead": {
    "name": "Sarah M.",
    "phone": "+1 555 0142",
    "interest": "New patient hygiene visit"
  },
  "conversationId": "conv_8f3k2m",
  "transcriptUrl": "https://studio.hyperleapai.com/…"
}

Illustrative sample. Webhooks fire on lead created, new message, reply, and conversation started — see the API docs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Do I need a WhatsApp Business API account?

Yes, you need a WhatsApp Business API account (Meta Business Suite). Hyperleap helps you connect your existing account or guide you through setting one up.

How long does verification take?

Meta's business verification typically takes 1-3 business days. Once verified, you can start messaging customers immediately.

Can I use my existing phone number?

Our team can check your number and current setup before you connect. Keep your existing WhatsApp service running until you have a confirmed migration plan.

What happens if the AI doesn't know the answer?

When a customer needs human assistance, the AI can provide your team's contact information such as a phone number or email address so they can reach out directly.

Does it use the official WhatsApp API?

Yes. Hyperleap AI connects through the official WhatsApp Business API. We are a Meta Technology Provider and Business Partner.

How much does WhatsApp messaging cost on top of Hyperleap?

Hyperleap plans start at $40/month, and one AI reply always counts as one response — no model-credit math. Meta bills WhatsApp Business API conversation charges separately, based on your country and message volume. Our free WhatsApp pricing calculator on this site estimates those Meta charges for you.

Can the same agent answer on my website and Instagram too?

Yes. Each agent can answer on your website, WhatsApp, Instagram DM, and Facebook Messenger using the same business information. All four channels are included on every plan.

How is this different from Meta's free Business Agent?

Hyperleap AI answers on your own website as well as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. It uses your business information and emails your team customer details and chat summaries. See our comparison for the differences.
