Switching from Interakt

Your number moves. Your customers notice nothing.

Meta lets a WhatsApp Business API number move from one provider to another. This is what comes with it.

  • The same number

    Customers keep writing to the number they already know. Nothing changes on their side.

  • Limit, rating, name and tick

    Your messaging limit, quality rating, display name and verification tick come across with the number.

  • About five minutes, no downtime

    Turn off two-step verification on the number in Interakt, then connect it inside WhatChimp.

  • Contacts by CSV

    Export your contacts as a CSV file and import them into WhatChimp with their fields.

An honest answer

When Interakt is the better choice, and when it is not

Both run on the official WhatsApp Business API. The difference is what you pay per message and what the first plan includes.
