Template Management

Create and manage message templates approved by Meta.

Bulk Campaigns

Canned Responses

Pre-defined quick replies with slash commands (/shortcut) and dynamic placeholders.

Voice Calling & IVR

Incoming and outgoing WhatsApp calls with IVR menus, DTMF routing, call transfers to agent teams, hold music, and call recording. See calling docs.
