WhatsApp, built the way your USSD service is
Draw a WhatsApp flow on the same canvas as your USSD menus, test it on a chat phone, and put it live under the same approvals.
What a flow does in a chat
Your USSD screens, as WhatsApp shows them.
- Buttons and lists
- Up to three choices become reply buttons; longer menus become lists, paged with More and Previous.
- Forms in one sheet
- Ask several questions in one sheet instead of several messages, in each of your languages.
- Images, documents, audio and video
- A message screen can send any of them alongside its text.
- The caller's language
- Write each screen once per language, and WhatsApp's own labels follow the caller's language too.
- A chat phone in the editor
- Tap through the flow as a customer would, then save the run as a scenario that must pass before publishing.
- Started by you or by them
- A customer messages your number, or your backend opens with an approved template and the flow takes the reply.
Templates and sends
Numbers, templates and sends in one place.
- Templates written here
- Write templates with values, headers and buttons, submit them to Meta, then edit or delete them here.
- A list from your own export
- Upload a CSV of up to 250,000 rows, match its columns, and preview the message before anything is sent.
- At your number's pace
- Sends go out at the rate your number can take; pause, resume or cancel from the editor or your API.
- Sent, delivered and read
- Each message tracks sent, delivered and read, and its data is erased 30 days after the send.
Questions
Do we need a WhatsApp Business number first?
You need one that is not on the WhatsApp app, and we connect it with you. You can build and test before it is connected.
Can we run the same service on USSD and WhatsApp?
Yes, as two flows calling the same APIs, each with its own scenarios.
What does it cost?
Meta charges for template messages separately. luftflow's price is agreed in writing before your first send.
