Conversations
There are two types of conversations on the WhatsApp Business API, each with different rates:
- User-initiated: A conversation that initiates in response to a user message. Any time a business replies to a user within the 24-hour customer service window, that message will be associated with a user-initiated conversation.
- Business-initiated: A conversation that initiates from a business sending a user a message outside the 24-hour customer service window.
The conversation starts when the first business message in a conversation is delivered. However, the conversation type will be defined once a message has been sent by the business.
Sessions
All conversations are measured in fixed 24-hour sessions. A conversation starts when the first business message in a conversation is delivered, either initiated by the business or in reply to a user message. Businesses and users can exchange any number of messages, including template messages, within a 24 hour conversation session without incurring additional charges. Each 24 hour conversation session results in a single charge.
Important points to remember:
1. Charges for conversations are based on the user’s country code.
2. The charges will be different, depending on who initiated the conversation. (the business or the end-user). Check rate charts below.
Is anything free? Yes!
Free Tier Conversations
The first 1,000 conversations (per WABA) each month will be free, so the charges will only start on conversation number 1001. Free tier conversations can be business-initiated or user-initiated.
Free Entry Points Conversations
Conversations will not be charged when users message businesses using call-to-actions buttons on Ads that click to WhatsApp or a Facebook Page CTA. Free entry point conversations can only be user-initiated. Only the first conversation that starts from the entry point is free of charge. Subsequent conversations with the user are charged.
Standard pricing will apply for Ads that Click to WhatsApp. The conversation that initiates from the ad is free, but not the ad itself.
