Whatomate

Modern, open-source WhatsApp Business Platform. Single binary app.

Features

• Multi-tenant Architecture Support multiple organizations with isolated data and configurations.

• Granular Roles & Permissions Customizable roles with fine-grained permissions. Create custom roles, assign specific permissions per resource (users, contacts, templates, etc.), and control access at the action level (read, create, update, delete). Super admins can manage multiple organizations.

• WhatsApp Cloud API Integration Connect with Meta's WhatsApp Business API for messaging.

• Real-time Chat Live messaging with WebSocket support for instant communication.

• Template Management Create and manage message templates approved by Meta.

• Bulk Campaigns Send campaigns to multiple contacts with retry support for failed messages.

• Chatbot Automation Keyword-based auto-replies, conversation flows with branching logic, and AI-powered responses (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google).

• Canned Responses Pre-defined quick replies with slash commands (/shortcut) and dynamic placeholders.

• Voice Calling & IVR Incoming and outgoing WhatsApp calls with IVR menus, DTMF routing, call transfers to agent teams, hold music, and call recording. See calling docs.

• Analytics Dashboard Track messages, engagement, and campaign performance.
