+
+<Image src="/blog-assets/whatsapp-api-use-cases/whatsapp-business-setup-steps.avif" alt="whatsapp business setup steps" width="600px" height="625px"  />
+
+
+When using WhatsApp Business API, there are two main types of WhatsApp messages you can send:
+
+### 1. Template Messages (Business Initiated)
+
+These are pre-approved message formats for business-initiated conversation. They must be approved by WhatsApp before use. Examples include:
+
+- Welcome messages
+- Order confirmations
+- Shipping updates
+- Appointment reminders
+- Payment notifications
+- Back-in-stock alerts
+- Customer feedback requests
+
+### 2. Session Messages (User Initiated)
+
+These are messages you can send within a 24-hour window after a customer messages you. They don't need pre-approval and can be more flexible. Examples include:
+
+- Customer support responses
+- Product recommendations
+- Answers to questions
+- Additional information requested by the customer
+
+Understanding these message types is crucial to using the WhatsApp Business API effectively and avoiding messaging blocks.
+
+<Warning>
+##### **Avoid Messaging Blocks**Using the correct message type and following WhatsApp's guidelines is crucial to prevent your business from being blocked or restricted on the platform.
+</Warning>
+
+## ROI Analysis: Is WhatsApp Business API Worth It?
+
+Companies using WhatsApp to grow their business typically see:
+
+- **90%+ open rates** (compared to 20% for email)
+- **40-60% reduction in support costs**
+- **70% of businesses using WhatsApp** chatbots saw improvements in customer satisfaction
+- [**40% higher conversion rates**](https://m.aisensy.com/blog/whatsapp-statistics-for-businesses/) from marketing campaigns
+- **60% of abandoned carts recovered** when using WhatsApp reminders
+
+The initial setup costs and message fees are quickly offset by these benefits, making WhatsApp Business API a high-ROI investment for most businesses.
+
+<Success>
+##### **High Engagement Rates**WhatsApp messages typically achieve over 90% open rates, far surpassing traditional email marketing performance.
+</Success>
+
+## 
+
+## Common Challenges and Solutions When Using WhatsApp Business API
+
+### Challenge 1: Message Template Approval
+
+**Solution:** Follow WhatsApp's guidelines carefully. Keep templates clear, direct, and free of promotional language unless using the marketing template category.
+
+### Challenge 2: 24-Hour Window Limitations
+
+**Solution:** Use approved templates to re-engage customers after the 24-hour session expires. Create valuable content that encourages customers to reply.
+
+### Challenge 3: Integration Complexity
+
+**Solution:** Start with simple use cases and gradually expand. Work with experienced WhatsApp Business API providers who offer technical support.
+
+### Challenge 4: Cost Management
+
+**Solution:** Prioritize high-value conversations. Use chatbots to handle common queries. Monitor metrics to optimize spending.
+
+### Challenge 5: Maintaining Conversation Quality
+
+**Solution:** Train team members on conversational best practices. Create guidelines for tone and response times. Use quality scoring.
+
+<Info>
+##### **Start Small, Scale Fast**Begin with a few high-impact use cases and expand your WhatsApp strategy as you gain experience and see results.

### Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with [CodeRabbit](https://coderabbit.ai?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=github&utm_campaign=baptisteArno/typebot.io&utm_content=2169):

> ‼️ **IMPORTANT**
> Auto-reply has been disabled for this repository in the CodeRabbit settings. The CodeRabbit bot will not respond to your replies unless it is explicitly tagged.
- Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  - `@coderabbitai explain this code block.`
  -	`@coderabbitai modularize this function.`
- PR comments: Tag `@coderabbitai` in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  - `@coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.`
  - `@coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.`
  - `@coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.`
  - `@coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.`

### Support

Need help? Create a ticket on our [support page](https://www.coderabbit.ai/contact-us/support) for assistance with any issues or questions.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

### CodeRabbit Commands (Invoked using PR comments)

- `@coderabbitai pause` to pause the reviews on a PR.
- `@coderabbitai resume` to resume the paused reviews.
- `@coderabbitai review` to trigger an incremental review. This is useful when automatic reviews are disabled for the repository.
- `@coderabbitai full review` to do a full review from scratch and review all the files again.
- `@coderabbitai summary` to regenerate the summary of the PR.
- `@coderabbitai generate sequence diagram` to generate a sequence diagram of the changes in this PR.
- `@coderabbitai resolve` resolve all the CodeRabbit review comments.
- `@coderabbitai configuration` to show the current CodeRabbit configuration for the repository.
- `@coderabbitai help` to get help.

### Other keywords and placeholders

- Add `@coderabbitai ignore` anywhere in the PR description to prevent this PR from being reviewed.
- Add `@coderabbitai summary` to generate the high-level summary at a specific location in the PR description.
- Add `@coderabbitai` anywhere in the PR title to generate the title automatically.

- Please see the [configuration documentation](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/guides/configure-coderabbit) for more information.
- If your editor has YAML language server enabled, you can add the path at the top of this file to enable auto-completion and validation: `# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://coderabbit.ai/integrations/schema.v2.json`
