## With over 2 billion users and an average opening rate of over 85%, WhatsApp is not only the most used messaging app in the world for chatting with friends and family, but is increasingly being used by businesses. Everyone is talking about WhatsApp Business API, how does it work and how is it impacting business?

**WHAT IS IT AND WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT WHATSAPP BUSINESS?**

In the age of experience, where the focus must be on improving it to retain customers and attract prospects, companies are looking to offer omnichannel assistance. Omnichannel is not the only protagonist, instantaneousness is a requirement.

This [WhatsApp offers us](https://www.simpletech.uy/en/whatsapp/)
Businesses are no strangers to this trend, which is why its use is becoming more and more frequent in the corporate world.

WhatsApp Business has a variety of features that simplify customer service management via WhatsApp and improve its quality. Some of them are:

- **Company Profile:**allows you to display important organization information such as address, email, and website.

- **Messaging Tools:**to respond quickly and conveniently. They include templates for frequently used messages and automatic welcome and absence messages.
- **Catalogs:** where the company can publish its products and/or services with valuable information, photographs and links to each one.

- **Tags:**They classify and organize your chats and messages so you can easily find them by type of query and its status.

**WHY THERE IS A WHATSAPP BUSINESS API**

You can use the WhatsApp Business app, with its default features. In this case, we have bad news for you. You will be missing out on the many resources and tools that would be integrated into your WhatsApp account, which basically help you scale conversations with your clients or potential clients and thus boost the results of your business.

For example, with our [Wittysuite API,](https://www.simpletech.uy/en/wittysuite-api/)
 You will be able to integrate conversational tools that automate interactions to make them more efficient and will also allow you to send mass and/or personalized campaigns based on the stage and behavior of the users.

**To take WhatsApp Business to the next level, you will need to turn to an official partner of the platform to ensure compliance with its regulations, technical aspects and management expertise.**

**HOW TO INCORPORATE IT AS A CHANNEL IN COMPANIES**
