What is the WhatsApp Cloud API?
The Cloud API is the version of the WhatsApp Business Platform hosted by Meta itself. Businesses use it through software — like a CRM — instead of running their own servers.
What it enables
- Sending and receiving messages through software.
- Approved message templates.
- Webhooks that deliver incoming messages and delivery statuses.
- Quality ratings and messaging limits per number.
How businesses get access
Most businesses connect through a provider's Embedded Signup: they log in with Facebook, choose or create a business account and register the number. In Veylo this happens inside the platform in a few minutes.
