Automate actions

WhatsApp

Official Cloud API. Opt-in recipients. Template or 24-hour session.

WhatsApp is one workflow channel. Recipients must opt in. Aevico is not a WhatsApp broadcast or marketing suite.

Official Cloud API

Sends use the official WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API). Comply with Meta policies, consent, template rules, and messaging limits.

Example: approved template

Use a Meta-approved template for most sends. Session text is only for the 24-hour customer-care window.
