You’ve been asking for it: now we’re delivering! The Kommo team has built our own WhatsApp solution, especially suited for small businesses.
Now entrepreneurs can connect their personal WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business accounts. In contrast to our WhatsApp via Twilio integration, which is designed for larger businesses, our new integration makes sending WhatsApp messages absolutely free for small businesses .🤯
⛓️ This integration is off the chain
For those of you who have been relying on WhatsApp Web or the mobile app, this integration is something to celebrate:
One less app to switch to
Now every Kommo account includes a unified inbox with WhatsApp and 6 other popular messengers: Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, WeChat, Viber and Skype. And you can send and receive messages from any and all of them directly inside the lead card!
WhatsApp for the whole team
Anyone who’s tried to share WhatsApp with their team knows that it’s a nightmare: you need to share a single device, it’s hard to keep track of who’s doing what… the list goes on. Luckily, the WhatsApp for Small Business integration means that any user in Kommo can get access (if you grant permission), and get their own task management!

All your threads in order
The best part, though, is that if you’re a WhatsApp-lover who’s never used a CRM, this integration brings so much order to the chaos of your sales process.
That is… it’s amazing to use WhatsApp for sales, but the world’s favorite messenger app wasn’t actually designed for doing business: its interface was built for casual chatting.
But it is an incredible way to connect with people.
So that’s why we wanted to bring the power of WhatsApp to the order of Kommo. Our pipeline helps you zoom out and get a better view of all the conversations you’re managing. It gives you a board-like view where you can see exactly where each lead is in the process and whether there’s a task that day.
