WhatsApp Business API for Badvel's shops, transporters and hostels

Badvel has headed a revenue division of its own since December 2021, ten mandals at the foot of the Eastern Ghats. Its customers write before they travel; the answer decides whether they come.

For the wholesalers and shops that serve Badvel's ten-mandal revenue division, the transporters on NH-67, the hostels by its agricultural college and the sellers of YSR Kadapa's brass and sarees: how one WhatsApp booking moves from a question in Telugu to the driver's details, and what each message costs.

See it work

One NH-67 lorry booking, from question to driver's details

A customer in Porumamilla asks a Badvel transporter for a lorry to Kadapa on Friday. Follow the booking through the transporter's number: who answers, when the window closes, and which message has to be a template.

Everything on the top row is a reply: the customer asked, so the fare, the timing and the bag count go back at ₹0.145 each, in Telugu. The one message on the bottom row that the transporter starts, a day after the last chat, is the approved template at ₹0.19.

A wholesaler's order-ready note or a hostel's fee reminder follows the same path; only the variables change.

Questions Badvel businesses ask

Customers from Porumamilla and Kalasapadu ask our Badvel wholesale shop whether stock is in before they travel. Do our answers need templates?
No. When a customer writes first, your answers for the next 24 hours are replies at ₹0.145 each, in Telugu or any language. A template is needed only when you write first after the window has closed, such as an order-ready note the next day.
Our lorries run on NH-67 through Badvel. Can a customer get the driver's name and vehicle number the evening before a load?
Yes. A note about a load the customer booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, approved in Telugu (te) or English, with the driver's name, the vehicle number and the loading time as variables. If the customer replies to change the time, your answers are replies at ₹0.145.
Parents ask our hostel near SBVR agricultural college in Badvel about rooms and the fee. Can the term's fee reminder go on WhatsApp?
Yes, to parents who agreed to hostel updates. A fee-due reminder for a room already booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, and the questions parents send back are replies at ₹0.145 for 24 hours. Keep it to the fee and the dates, or it becomes marketing.
We sell Vonipenta brass from YSR Kadapa's ODOP list at our Badvel shop. Can we send new designs to every buyer who has called us?
Only to buyers who agreed to hear about new designs and offers; a buyer who simply called has not. A new-design note is a marketing template at ₹0.94, and InfiQ records each buyer's yes with its date and source, and a STOP reply ends it.
Our Badvel shop already answers customers from Brahmamgari Matham mandal on the WhatsApp Business app. Do we have to give it up for the API?
No. With WhatsApp Coexistence the shop keeps the app on the same number, within Meta's coexistence limits, while the API sends its templates, such as order-ready notes at ₹0.19. Staff keep chatting from the phone as before.
Buyers ask our Badvel cloth shop for Madhavaram sarees. Can we send saree photos when a buyer asks?
Yes. When a buyer writes, photos, prices and the colours in stock are replies at ₹0.145 each for 24 hours, sent as media with no template. If the buyer orders and asks to be told when the saree arrives, that note is a utility template at ₹0.19.
