No WhatsApp Business API needed

Build WhatsApp
AI Agents.
Launch in minutes.

Create no-code automation flows that handle conversations, qualify leads, and engage customers 24/7 — without template approvals or rate limits.

The problem

WhatsApp Business API falls short

Building AI agents on WhatsApp shouldn't require jumping through hoops.

Can't message first

Business API requires pre-approved templates before you can send the first message to any customer.

1-6 weeks to approve

Template reviews take weeks. Meta rejects templates frequently for vague reasons.

250/day rate limit

New numbers are capped at 250 conversations per 24 hours. Scaling requires months of trust building.

Chatbots banned

As of January 2026, Meta banned mainstream chatbots from running on WhatsApp Business API.

FerryLoop bypasses all of this

Connect directly to WhatsApp. No middleman. No restrictions.

Direct WhatsApp connection — no Business API
No template approvals needed
No rate limits on conversations
