Considering Zernio? Add WhatsApp to the app you already have. Run your custom code in Kapso, embed a ready-made inbox, and get AI help as you build.

Official Meta Business Partner

Build less infrastructure

Kapso is built for developers who want to ship WhatsApp fast. Start with APIs, hosted functions, and a ready-made inbox, then add the code that makes it work for your product.

Custom code, hosted for you

Run order lookups, booking logic, and data transformations in Kapso functions. Call them from workflows or agent tools, with hosting and execution logs in the same project.

An inbox you can embed

Add a ready-made WhatsApp inbox to your app without building the messaging interface yourself. Your team can read the conversation and take over from automation.

AI help inside your project

Use Kapso Agent to help build workflows and investigate problems inside Kapso. Bring the CLI, MCP server, and Skills into Claude, Codex, or Cursor too.

Agents that work with your app

Give agents tools to check stock, book appointments, or call your backend. Combine them with workflow branches and waits to control how the conversation progresses.

Connect your customers’ numbers

Let customers connect their own WhatsApp accounts through setup links or embedded signup. Available on Pro and above, with your branding on Platform and Enterprise.

Bring in your whole team

Invite unlimited team members. Let people take over from agents and workflows with the conversation history ready, so customers can continue where they left off.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Kapso with my existing application?

Yes. Send messages from your backend and receive replies through webhooks. Keep your customer data and business logic in your app. Add Kapso workflows, AI agents, or a shared inbox when you need them.

How do I send templates and receive delivery updates?

Connect a production number and create an API key. Send a template approved for your WhatsApp Business Account, then set up a webhook for delivery updates and replies. Use the message ID to match each update to the message you sent. A successful API request does not mean the message was delivered.

Can I connect my existing WhatsApp number?

It depends on your setup and Meta’s rules. Check who owns the number and account, and make sure you have admin access. Eligible WhatsApp Business App numbers can stay in the app while using Kapso through coexistence. If your number uses another provider, ask Kapso to check how to move it first.

What should I check before switching from Zernio?

Check who owns your account and number, whether the number can move, and which templates you can keep. Review billing and update your API and webhook code. Test messages, replies, and handoff to your team before switching. Moving is not automatic, and there may be downtime.

How do Kapso charges and Meta fees work?

Your Kapso plan includes a set number of messages and other usage limits. Meta message fees are separate. Depending on your account setup, you pay those fees with Kapso credits or directly to Meta. Check the pricing page and billing docs for current rates and any extra fees.

Can I test Kapso before connecting a production number?

Yes. Every plan, including Free, has a shared sandbox. Register your phone and send the activation code to start testing messages, webhooks, workflows, and agents. Sending and syncing templates need a production number, so test those before launch.
