WhatsApp Business App vs. WhatsApp Business API

To understand how WhatsApp notifications work for businesses, it is important to distinguish between the WhatsApp Business App and the WhatsApp Business API. While both support customer messaging, only the API unlocks the full power of automation, scale, and integration.

If you want to send WhatsApp Business API notifications at scale with automation, personalization, and tracking - API access is required. LINK Mobility provides managed access, support, and setup.

How to Get Started with WhatsApp Business API Notifications

Getting started with WhatsApp Business API notifications is straightforward when you partner with an official provider. The process ensures you meet Meta’s requirements and can launch campaigns confidently and compliantly.

  1. Apply for access through a WhatsApp Business Solution Provider like LINK Mobility.

  2. Set up templates for each notification type (subject to Meta approval).

  3. Collect opt-ins through forms, checkout pages, or in-store prompts.

  4. Connect your systems (CRM, webshop, app) to trigger notifications.

  5. Send messages via the LINK Mobility interface or API.

Template Management and Message Limits

WhatsApp requires all outbound messages to use pre-approved templates. LINK Mobility helps you:

  • Create and submit message templates

  • Categorize them (utility, marketing, etc.)

  • Edit or update templates without re-submission (within limits)

Messaging Limits depend on your business verification status and engagement quality. All accounts start with up to 1,000 messages/day and scale with usage and user response.
