Why WhatsApp Business API for this
Triggered flows outperform campaigns by a wide margin. A good abandoned-cart sequence and a real welcome series typically generate more revenue than the entire broadcast calendar.
WhatsApp Business API is strongest at the reach and open rates no other channel in India matches. For email & lifecycle marketing that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: strict template approval and conversation-based pricing that shapes how you design flows. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions
Email or WhatsApp in India?
Both, for different jobs. WhatsApp has far higher open rates and stricter rules and costs; email carries longer content and costs almost nothing. Transactional and urgent goes to WhatsApp, considered content to email.
Our emails land in spam. Fixable?
Usually. It is typically authentication records, list quality, or sending patterns rather than content. The audit identifies which, and reputation recovers with disciplined sending.
How often should we send?
Frequency matters less than relevance. Segmented sending to people who want it can be weekly; blasting everyone monthly still generates complaints.
Alternatives for email & lifecycle marketing
