    WhatsApp marketing for real estate in India on official API

    Quick answers

    Can we blast “all Mumbai leads” from a CSV we bought?
    Not on official API if you care about the number. That is how quality rating dies, and it may not be lawful consent. Use opt-in CTWA, site forms, and walk-ins.
    Does WatsBerry create a CRM pipeline card for every form?
    Forms save contacts and tags. Lead Pipeline is optional and off unless enabled. Agents still work the WhatsApp thread in the shared inbox.
    Are RERA / inventory claims allowed on templates?
    Only publish facts you would put on the website. We do not invent availability or returns. Meta can reject misleading marketing templates.

    Run official WhatsApp for an Indian real-estate desk

    1. 1

      Put the project on Cloud API, not a broker’s personal chat

      Embedded Signup on a brand number. Sharing a promoter’s WhatsApp Web is a ban-risk and an ownership mess.

    2. 2

      Capture inquiries with a WhatsApp Form

      Project, budget, and visit preference beat “interested” in a 40-person broadcast group.

    3. 3

      Book the site visit on one shared calendar

      Appointment Booking writes Google Calendar. v1 is one calendar, not one calendar per closer.

    4. 4

      Follow up with approved templates

      Visit reminders you can honestly call utility if Meta agrees; project offers stay marketing. Keep quality green.

    5. 5

      Close in a shared inbox

      Assign the thread. Optional Lead Pipeline is an add-on, off by default. Join the waitlist for a workspace.

    Why unofficial realtor groups fail

    Indian real-estate WhatsApp still means forwarded brochures and a closer’s personal phone. That is not Cloud API. You cannot run durable CTWA, you cannot show a shared inbox to the brand, and Meta can ban the SIM.

    Official path: Embedded Signup → templates → Forms + inbox. Join the waitlist.

    The loop that already ships

    1. Ad or listing → Click-to-WhatsApp or a website widget.
    2. WhatsApp Form (Lead Capture or a custom project form), Flows and forms.
    3. Site-visit slot via Appointment Booking → Google Calendar.
    4. AI FAQ for location / amenities you published, chatbot, then human handoff.
    5. Marketing templates for new towers or payment plans; utility only for a visit they already booked.
    6. Optional Lead Pipeline if your plan enables it, not a default on every public card.

    UAE developers: same API, different compliance, WhatsApp marketing UAE. Do not paste India RERA copy onto a Dubai listing.
