As a part of the trial, you receive 100 user-initiated conversations completely for free for the first 30 days! Afterward, you can choose the plan that best suits your needs.
Aslo, in chats the messages will be marked with a WhatsApp icon next to the customer's name. You can also see the customer’s phone number in the Details bar on the right.
The Facebook/WhatsApp policy gives you 24 hours to respond to a message. After that time, the chat will be archived and you won’t be able to reply.
This policy is in place to protect against spamming.
