I run a kirana store. Can I send an offer on WhatsApp to everyone who has not bought from me in three months? +
Yes. Build a rule-based audience with "Has not bought in 3 months" and pick a template. The "We miss you" starter is already written for this. You can also turn it into an automation, so each customer gets the message once when they cross three months without a purchase.
Does 399Apps charge per WhatsApp message? +
No. WhatsApp campaigns go out through your own WhatsApp Business account on Meta's official Cloud API. Meta bills you directly at its own rates, and 399Apps adds no markup at any volume. The API connection is free with any paid subscription. You pay ₹399/month for the Campaigns app.
Will you set up the WhatsApp Business API for me? +
Yes, for free. We do the Meta side on your behalf, inside your own Meta Business account: business verification, the WhatsApp app, number registration, the permanent access token and the webhook. Everything we create belongs to you, so if you leave you revoke our token and keep the account, the number and the templates. There is no setup fee. Meta's own verification queue still takes 1 to 14 days, which nobody can shorten. If you would rather do it yourself, our step-by-step credentials guide covers every screen.
Do I need Meta to approve my WhatsApp messages first? +
Yes, for marketing messages on the official API. Meta has to approve the exact template wording before you can send it, and the template must include a STOP line. Our guide to getting your WhatsApp Business API credentials walks through the Meta side step by step.
What happens when a customer replies STOP? +
They go on your do-not-contact list across every channel and get a confirmation that offers have stopped. Only the customer can come off that list, by replying START or using the re-subscribe link. Bills, receipts and payment reminders still reach them.
Can I send a reminder to customers who owe me money? +
Yes. Build an audience with "Owes more than" or "Over their credit limit" and use the "Settle your balance" starter. The amount they owe can be filled into the message automatically.
How do I know if a campaign actually brought in sales? +
The campaign report adds up the sale invoices raised by the customers you reached, within a window you choose (7, 15, 30 or 60 days after the message). An invoice is counted once even if two campaigns overlap. We call this "what followed the campaign", not "what the campaign caused", because that is what the number really measures.
Can I send SMS campaigns as well? +
Yes, if you are registered on DLT. SMS templates need your own Entity ID, a DLT template ID and a sender header, as Indian rules require. Customers on the national Do Not Disturb registry are skipped automatically for SMS.
What does Nidhi Campaigns cost? +
Campaigns is ₹399/month, like every 399apps app, with unlimited users and no charge per contact. It runs alongside Nidhi Books (also ₹399/month). WhatsApp and SMS messages are billed to you directly by Meta and your SMS provider, not by 399Apps.
