What is a WhatsApp marketing tool?\r\n  <\/button>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"panel\">\r\n    <p>\r\n      Yes. A <strong>WhatsApp marketing tool<\/strong> is software that connects to the WhatsApp Business API so businesses can send campaigns, automate replies, and manage customer chats at scale. Most platforms include a shared team inbox, chatbots, broadcasts, and reporting. Some, such as <strong>WhatZCRM<\/strong>, also add a built-in CRM.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n  <button class=\"accordion\">\r\n    2. What is the cost of WhatsApp marketing software?\r\n  <\/button>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"panel\">\r\n    <p>\r\n      Cost usually has three parts: the <strong>platform subscription<\/strong>, any per-user fees, and Meta's applicable per-message charges for template messages.
