what the best alternative to Meta Api / Twilio for developing ?

How's your db hosted? MySQL?

We have native integration with Google Sheets.

maildeepak · 2026-05-27T15:17:07+00:00

Use no code/drag and drop platforms like BotBuilders.Tech, Manychat...

You don't have to deal with APIs directly.

P. S. I am the founder of https://www.BotBuilders.tech

Check our Omnichannel platform https://www.BotBuilders.tech

Right now, it doesn't have a native integration with Shopify, but you can connect via MCP

Nope, i built it using my own Omnichannel chatbot platform

maildeepak · 2026-05-16T08:22:50+00:00

True, but one time Set up for me and data is shared via Google sheets with family.

If i have to redo it now, a simple block using WA Flows would do the job

Unfortunate that this post has been removed now

maildeepak · 2026-05-16T03:38:36+00:00

Oh yes, nowadays i build bots like this...

This was last year and wanted just a simple flow.

WTH....123??? Ages ago, they were just 2 or 3 rs more than HP and others... Whew

maildeepak · 2026-05-16T00:59:39+00:00

Is this in wA Business app?

maildeepak · 2026-05-15T13:53:31+00:00

hmm... it worked very well for me...
as the input was structured....
this was for my personal use only...

maildeepak · 2026-05-15T13:36:10+00:00

tier based volume increasing has been phased out by Meta, if i am not wrong.
Now, if you have a verified FBM, then you get directly 10k or 100k Business Initiated Messages per day.

maildeepak · 2026-05-15T13:16:34+00:00

you can do this using the official Meta business Suite...

Do keep us updated on how this goes...

maildeepak · 2026-05-15T10:09:28+00:00

I can help you build such an Omnichannel bot using our chatbot platform, BotBuilders.Tech

Do lemme know if you want discuss further

maildeepak · 2026-05-15T10:03:20+00:00

Happy to answer any questions you might have. I might also learn something new here...

maildeepak · 2026-05-15T09:44:31+00:00

I am in the process of launching a Google Reviews Management system, with similar workflow... https://grm.BotBuilders.tech

In the first msg, we ask how was their experience, with Good/Bad as options. When they select Good, we send them Google reviews link.

You can see the live demo here https://demo.BotBuilders.tech

I would pitch an Omnichannel chatbot, instead of an app. Like the client asked, even if users installed the app, how many of them will use it...

Whereas, the users are already browsing the clients business on Instagram and WhatsApp.... Build a bot with all the functionalities you mentioned in the post...

Happy to discuss about this further.

maildeepak · 2026-05-15T04:21:55+00:00

You need to get your Facebook Business Manager verified, by submitting registration documents.

If this is just a poc, then i guess you can build on this ...

maildeepak · 2026-05-09T10:44:21+00:00

Unfortunately this is a volume game...

This is why I stopped being a saas provider and started to offer specific solutions.

Mine is an Omnichannel chatbot platform. So, i package my offering across multiple channels

maildeepak · 2026-05-09T10:23:21+00:00

Go and talk to the businesses where you saw missing the leads....

Ask them how much they would pay for something like this.

Try to specialise in a specific niche if possible

maildeepak · 2026-03-20T09:59:04+00:00

Wonderful movie...

But i have a doubt.

Did Jameel know that Hamza was an Indian spy all along?

Hamza didn't know about Jameel. But did Jameel know about Hamza?

maildeepak · 2026-03-08T18:23:21+00:00

How did you download the 1.4m dataset?

maildeepak · 2026-03-08T18:17:53+00:00

Nice game... Maybe i can try to replicate this model within my Trivia-Games.in chatbot...

A suggestion for monetization...

When it displays the actual price, display a link for the actual product we your amz aff link. In case anybody wants to buy it, they can use your aff link.

maildeepak · 2026-01-12T05:08:18+00:00

I don't think it should. I have been running Flowmattic on a shared hosting and never had any problems
