Click-to-WhatsApp Ads FAQ
Can I create Click-to-WhatsApp ads from Automate AI?
Yes. Under Campaigns › Meta Ads, connect your Meta ad account, describe your offer, check the ad AI writes, add a photo and publish it to Facebook and Instagram. The ad opens a WhatsApp chat with your connected number.
Who pays for the ads?
Meta bills the ad spend to your own ad account. Nothing is spent until you publish, and you can pause an ad at any time.
Are chats from these ads free on WhatsApp?
Meta doesn’t charge for messages in the free window that follows a chat started from a Click-to-WhatsApp ad, if you reply in time. You still pay Meta for the ad itself.
Can I use an agency’s ad account?
Yes. When you connect with Facebook you can pick an ad account from any Meta Business you have access to.
What happens after someone taps the ad?
The chat arrives in your shared inbox as a new contact, ready for your team, a chatbot or the AI Assistant to reply.
