The official WhatsApp Business API, connected by a Meta verified Technology Provider

The WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API) is Meta's official way for companies to message customers at scale. Kanalia is verified by Meta as a Technology Provider, so your business connects to it directly — no unofficial apps, no browser automation, no risk of the number being banned for using unsupported tools.

What the API gives you

Multiple agents on one number, automated replies and AI bots, approved message templates for notifications and campaigns, delivery and read statuses, and integration with your CRM — none of which the WhatsApp Business mobile app supports at volume.

Shared number or your own number

On Kanalia Pro you send from the shared Kanalia platform number with 5,000 messages per month included. On Kanalia Enterprise you connect your own verified WhatsApp Business number; your brand name and profile appear to customers and Meta bills message charges directly to you.

How Meta charges for messages

Meta charges per message delivered, by category (marketing, utility, authentication) and by the recipient's country. Customer-initiated service conversations within the 24-hour window are free under Meta's current rules. Kanalia does not add a mark-up on Meta charges on Enterprise.

Why the Technology Provider status matters

Meta verifies the business behind a Technology Provider. It is the safest route to the API: onboarding is done through Meta's Embedded Signup and your data stays on the official Cloud API.

Can I keep using the WhatsApp Business app?

A number connected to the Cloud API is managed from Kanalia. Meta now allows coexistence with the app in some cases; our team will confirm what applies to your number.

Do I need a Meta Business account?

Only on Enterprise, to own the number. Pro works on the shared Kanalia number.
