Show HN: Pivots and millions later, I built a lambda to start WhatsApp chats

23 pointsby ramikalaiover 1 year ago
I&#x27;ve been working on my startup for years to no avail. Raised VC money and burned through millions - now built a simple service that lets you add a &quot;chat to us&quot; button (or can hook to your forms) to launch a WhatsApp chat.<p>The key here is that the button can open chats with different WhatsApp numbers based on rules you can set.<p>These rules can be based on the website visitor&#x27;s geography, language, time spent on your site or even your business&#x27;s office hours.<p>Can also hook onto existing forms and use form fields in the rules too.<p>Try it out on our site by clicking the chat to us button and send over a message if you&#x27;d like to get this setup on your site.

Is Whatsapp API so hard that its worth it to pay a service instead of coding it directly with the API ?

In the interest of ShowHN integrity:<p>&quot;Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can&#x27;t be tried out, so can&#x27;t be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.&quot;<p>Is there anything here that can be tried out?

Why do you call it &quot;a lambda&quot;? Perhaps clearer as &quot;WhatsApp router for your sales team&quot;
