Hey everyone, hoping to get some advice from people with WhatsApp Business API experience. I'm building a review-request automation service for local businesses (currently in Italy). The setup: each client business gets a secondary dedicated WhatsApp number used only for sending automated review requests — separate from their main number, which they keep using for bookings/customer inquiries. This way, the automation never touches or interferes with their primary business line. The problem: I need to do this for every business I onboard, and Twilio is quoting around $45-50/month for a local Italian number, which doesn't scale well across many clients. A few questions: 1. Are there any reliable and scalable alternatives/solutions? 2. Has anyone solved this "one secondary number per client" problem at scale in a cost-effective way? Any tips or gotchas I should know about? 3. Also, I don't have my agency registered yet (and I don't plan to do it until i make a decent amount of money), can I still proceed with buying a virtual number?

There's this lead who wants a website. He specializes in emergency response, 24/7. Plumber, electritian, and windows. What would you sell him behind website - review system? Missed call textback? I am scared of implementing something like an AI Voice receptionist to qualify leads. I'm based in Italy and I don't know if ai language has become advanced enough. Thanks guys

Hey guys. Just started doing my first few cold calls, today. This guy said he's interested. Since I had no script no nothing I just told him I'd send him a video on whatsapp tomorrow, he said cool. Planning on sending a 2-3 min loom video, just explaining what I do and how I can help. Should I include the price in the video, or should I just schedule a call/meeting (he's in my area) and tell him the price face to face?

Hey everyone, I’m working on an MVP for a review management SaaS for restaurants and I’m trying to figure out the best workflow. The idea is to automatically send a WhatsApp message asking for feedback/review after the customer has actually visited the restaurant, not simply after making a reservation. The problem is: - For customers who book a table, we have their name and phone number, but we don't know exactly when they actually finish their meal. I could have the staff manually mark them as “served”, but ideally I’d like this to be automated. - For walk-in customers, we often don't have their phone number at all. My ideal setup would be something like: Customer pays → POS/restaurant management system detects the completed transaction → triggers the review request → WhatsApp message is sent 30–60 minutes later. Is this realistically possible through integrations/APIs with restaurant POS or management systems? And if so, which restaurant management/POS systems would be worth integrating with first, especially in Europe/Italy? I’m trying to keep the MVP simple and avoid building a different integration for every system, so I’d really appreciate advice from people who have experience with restaurant tech.
