WhatsApp Business calling

Customers call you on WhatsApp, you answer in Bugalou

Many customers would rather tap the call button in WhatsApp than dial a phone number. With WhatsApp calling, those calls ring in the same call panel as your other calls — right in your browser.

  • Incoming WhatsApp calls are free

    Meta doesn't charge for calls your customers start. No Twilio account needed: your connected WhatsApp number is enough.

  • Same panel, whole team

    The call rings for everyone in the call queue. One colleague answers, the others see it's taken.

  • Every call in the conversation

    "WhatsApp call (2:14) · answered by Anne" or "Missed WhatsApp call" appears in the customer's chat, next to their messages.

  • Missed call? Follow up automatically

    The "Missed call" automation sends an approved WhatsApp template, so the conversation continues in writing.

  • Switch it on or off per number

    One switch per WhatsApp number. Off means the call icon disappears from WhatsApp for your customers.

Available on Pro and Enterprise. Meta enables WhatsApp calling for numbers with a messaging limit of at least 2,000 customers a day.
