Frequently Asked Questions

WAPDeskPro is a self-hosted WhatsApp API platform that lets businesses and developers send WhatsApp messages programmatically via a REST API. Connect your WhatsApp number by scanning a QR code, then send text, images, videos, documents, and bulk messages from any app or system.

No. WAPDeskPro is an unofficial WhatsApp API built on the open-source Baileys library, which uses the WhatsApp Web protocol. The official WhatsApp Business API (by Meta) requires business verification and costs significantly more. WAPDeskPro is ideal for small businesses, startups, and developers who need instant access at a fraction of the cost.

There is always some risk as it operates outside WhatsApp's official terms. To minimize ban risk: only send to contacts who have opted in, avoid mass unsolicited messaging, keep message quality relevant, and use natural delays between bulk sends (2–5 seconds). Thousands of businesses use such tools daily without issues when used responsibly.

WAPDeskPro works globally — any country where WhatsApp is available. It is particularly popular in India, Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Latin America.

1. Register and log in to your dashboard.
2. Click "Add Phone" and give it a name.
3. A QR code will appear — scan it with WhatsApp on your phone (Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device).
4. Your phone is now connected. Start sending via API or dashboard.

After the initial QR scan, WAPDeskPro maintains the WhatsApp session on the server. Your phone does not need to be nearby or connected to the internet — the server handles everything 24/7.

Any language that supports HTTP requests: Python, PHP, JavaScript/Node.js, Java, Go, Ruby, C#/.NET, and more. You can also use no-code tools like Zapier, Make (Integromat), n8n, or Pabbly Connect.

Yes. Set up a webhook URL in your dashboard or via API. WAPDeskPro will send a real-time POST request to your URL whenever someone sends a message to your connected WhatsApp number.

You can send: plain text, images (JPG, PNG, WEBP), videos (MP4), documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX), audio (MP3, OGG), stickers, and location pins with coordinates.

The AI bot automatically replies to incoming WhatsApp messages using AI (Google Gemini or OpenAI GPT). You write a system prompt describing how your business should respond, and the AI handles customer queries 24/7 — no code required.

Currently supported: Google Gemini (Gemini 2.5 Flash — free tier available) and OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4o Mini, GPT-3.5 Turbo). You bring your own API key from either provider.

The AI bot feature is included in Pro plan. Google Gemini has a free API tier (no charge for moderate usage). OpenAI charges per API call based on your OpenAI account. WAPDeskPro does not charge extra for AI usage — you pay the AI provider directly.

Yes. The AI has context memory — it remembers the last N messages in the conversation (configurable from 5 to 50). Chat history is also stored in the dashboard for up to 1 month for your review.

Yes. You can set a preferred language in the AI settings. The bot will always respond in that language (Hindi, English, Hinglish, Tamil, Telugu, etc.). You can also leave it on Auto to detect and match the customer's language.

Yes. Provide a Google Sheet ID (with phone numbers in column A), and WAPDeskPro will send your message to all contacts in that sheet. Make the sheet publicly readable first.
