I will build a whatsapp business api bot with handoff


About this gig
Most WhatsApp bot gigs on here are built on unofficial, reverse-engineered tools (WhatsApp Web automation, not real API access). That means your business number is one Meta detection sweep away from a permanent ban with your customer history, reviews, and reputation gone with it.
I build on Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API) the same infrastructure Meta itself operates, the same one big brands use. Your number gets a verified business badge, not a silent ban risk.
What you get:
- Official WhatsApp Business Platform connection for your number verified, Meta-approved, zero unofficial-tool risk
- Auto-reply engine answering common questions (hours, address, pricing, availability) in seconds, 24/7
- Booking/reservation capture structured records, not lost three screens deep in a chat thread
- Real human handoff: anything the bot can't resolve escalates live into a professional shared inbox no lead ever silently disappears into a log no one reads
- [Premium] Automated confirmation + day-before reminder messages (Meta-approved message templates)
- Concierge setup: I handle the technical account configuration you just verify one text message on your phone, that's it

FAQ
Is this an official WhatsApp integration, or does it use unofficial tools like WhatsApp Web automation?
100% official. I connect through Meta's own WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API) — the same technology big brands use. No reverse-engineered tools, no ban risk to your number.
Do I need to pay Meta anything extra?
Yes, a small per-message fee for templated messages like reminders — usually a few euros a month for normal small-business volume. Replies within an active conversation are free. You pay Meta directly, at cost, no markup from me.
Can I use my existing WhatsApp number?
It needs to be a number not currently active in the personal WhatsApp app or WhatsApp Business app. A fresh SIM or an unused number works best — I'll guide you through it.
How long does setup take before the bot goes live?
Development starts immediately after you order, but full activation depends on Meta's business verification (usually 1-3 days) and a quick phone verification step on your end (a few minutes).
What happens when the bot can't answer a customer's question?
It escalates instantly into a live inbox where you (or your team) can reply directly — nothing gets silently lost in a chat log.
