What you get
WhatsApp gets read when email doesn't. We set up the official Business API, get your templates approved, and build the automated flows: order updates, cart reminders, appointment nudges and campaigns that people actually opted in to.
Anything that messages customers in South Africa has to follow POPIA's direct marketing rules and the CPA, so opt-ins, consent records and unsubscribes are built in from the start.
- Official WhatsApp Business API setup
- Approved message templates and broadcast campaigns
- Opt-in capture and unsubscribe handling
- Abandoned cart, order and reminder flows
Why Johannesburg teams need it
Joburg, and Sandton especially, is where South Africa's banks, mining houses and telecoms run their head offices. The paperwork volume is huge. Retail, D2C and service businesses here run into the same problem: the work grows faster than the team. Organisations like Standard Bank, MTN and Discovery set the pace locally, and the suppliers and smaller firms around them need to keep up without adding headcount.
