What most businesses ask us first

ChattComm helps South African brands launch, automate and optimise the official WhatsApp Business API. We build your Chattbots, templates, integrations and campaigns, and support you monthly, so WhatsApp becomes a measurable sales, service and marketing channel.

ChattComm is powered by Cannect Digital, a Durban performance marketing agency.

Any business that gets, or wants, enquiries on WhatsApp and has outgrown one phone and a personal number. That includes service brands, retailers and e-commerce stores, schools, property and financial services, and multi-branch enterprises.

Jump Start suits small and growing businesses. Power Up suits fast-growing teams that want leads, ads and shop-in-chat. Accelerate suits enterprises working across teams, stores or regions.

Most businesses are live within a few weeks. The main variable is Meta’s business verification, which depends on your company documents and website matching your registered details. We guide you through every step. Timeline TBC

The free WhatsApp Business app is designed for one person on a small number of devices. The WhatsApp Business API, also called the WhatsApp Business Platform, is Meta’s official solution for growing and larger businesses. It supports a shared team inbox, Chattbots and AI, broadcasts to opted-in contacts at scale, CRM and e-commerce integrations, Click-to-WhatsApp ads and reporting.

There are three packages: Jump Start at R5,000 pm, Power Up at R10,000 pm (most popular) and Accelerate from R25,000 pm. Every package includes POPIA-compliant hosting, Meta platform pricing, 30-day cancellation, and build and support.

No lock-in. Every package runs month to month with 30-day cancellation. We earn your business every month with results, reporting and strategy.

A Chattbot is ChattComm’s WhatsApp chatbot: an automated, strategically mapped conversation that greets customers, answers questions, qualifies leads, takes bookings or orders, and hands over to a person when needed. We design, build and launch it end-to-end.

Your Chattbot asks five quick questions: what the customer needs, when, their budget, their role and location, and their contact details. It then scores the lead Hot, Warm or Cold. Hot leads go straight to a salesperson, Warm leads get tailored information and a booking link, and Cold leads join an opted-in nurture list. You can try the exact filter on this site.

Every package includes POPIA-compliant hosting. We build consent capture, clear privacy notices and one-tap opt-out into your flows, and your customer data is used only for the purposes they agreed to. Your own POPIA obligations as the responsible party still apply, and we help you meet them on WhatsApp.

  • Jump Start: guided onboarding and full Chattbot build, same-business-day email support on weekdays, and a quarterly check-in with your WhatsApp Success Strategist
  • Power Up: priority support during business hours, a monthly WhatsApp strategy session and once-off team dashboard training
  • Accelerate: a dedicated WhatsApp Success Strategist, priority support with a 4-hour response time, and monthly strategy plus quarterly business reviews
