WhatsApp Statement Delivery for Indian Businesses

How the WhatsApp statement flow works end to end

Statement delivery on WhatsApp is a triggered, unattended flow — no agent touches it. When your billing engine, core banking system, LMS, AMS or ERP finalises a statement cycle, it calls the InfiQ API with the customer number, the statement period, key figures (opening balance, closing balance, minimum due, due date) and the generated PDF. InfiQ sends an approved utility-category template that shows the customer exactly what arrived — 'Your account statement for Nov 2025 is ready' — with the document attached and a due date they can see without opening it. If the customer replies with a question, the conversation opens a free 24-hour service window in which your team, or an automated menu, can resend a copy, explain a line item, or hand off to support. Delivery, sent, and read status flow back to your system so you have a per-customer record of exactly when each statement was received.

• Trigger: your core system finalises a statement cycle and calls the InfiQ API
• Send: an approved utility template with the period, amount, due date and PDF attached
• Secure the file: password-protect the PDF (e.g. DOB or last 4 digits) for financial documents
• Capture: delivered and read receipts sync back for audit and reconciliation
• Handle replies: questions open a free 24-hour service window for support

Templates and message categories that keep you compliant

A statement is a transactional record the customer expects, so it belongs in the utility template category — the correct classification for account updates, bills and confirmations, and typically the most cost-efficient category. Your template pairs a clear body ('Statement for {{period}} — closing balance {{amount}}, due {{due_date}}') with a document header carrying the PDF, and can add a quick-reply button such as 'View past statements' or 'Talk to support'. Keep statement templates strictly informational: the moment you bolt on a 'Upgrade your card' or cross-sell line, the message becomes marketing, which needs marketing-category handling and explicit promotional opt-in. InfiQ helps you draft, submit and get statement templates approved, and structures your variables so the same template serves every customer and every billing cycle.

• Utility category for the statement itself — transactional, expected, cost-efficient
• Document-header template carries the password-protected PDF
• Quick-reply buttons for 'View past statements' or 'Talk to support'
• Keep it informational — adding a sell turns it into a marketing message

Triggered automatically from the systems you already run

The value only appears when statement delivery runs by itself on billing day, at scale, with zero manual sends. InfiQ connects to the stack that produces your statements — Razorpay and payment platforms for wallet and settlement statements, Zoho and other CRMs and ERPs for account records, and your core banking, loan-management, AMC or policy-admin system via the InfiQ API or webhooks. On cycle close, records are pushed in bulk, each customer gets their own personalised statement with their own attached PDF, and failures (invalid number, no WhatsApp, opt-out) are flagged back so you can fall back to email or post only for the exceptions. What used to be a print-and-mail run becomes an API call that finishes in minutes.

Transparent pricing and full ownership of your WhatsApp assets

Since 1 July 2025, WhatsApp bills per delivered message by category rather than per conversation, so statement runs are priced on the volume of utility-category messages you actually deliver. InfiQ applies its own transparent ₹ platform pricing (ex-GST), so you can forecast a monthly statement run before you send it and reconcile it afterwards line by line. You own your WhatsApp Business Account, your verified green-tick number, your approved templates and your BSUID identity — the Business-Scoped User ID that matters as WhatsApp rolls out usernames in 2026 — so your statement channel is an asset that stays with your business, not something locked inside a vendor's account.
