Deployment and data control
Run WhatsApp business automation in the server environment you choose
Self-hosted WhatsApp automation is a deployment model that runs the WAPIServer application, database, contacts, messages, automation records, and files inside a server environment selected by your business while using the official WhatsApp Business Platform.
- Choose the hosting provider and region
- Customer application data stays in the selected environment
- Marketing, service, sales, and commerce tools in one deployment
01 / Self-Hosted WhatsApp Automation
What self-hosted means in WAPIServer
You install the WAPIServer application, database, uploads, and operational modules in a server environment selected for your business. You can run it in your own hosting account or ask WAPI to arrange and operate a managed environment under a separate service agreement.
- Customer-selected provider and data region
- Application database and files in the selected deployment
- Independent plan licensing with separately scoped hosting and services
02 / Self-Hosted WhatsApp Automation
What still passes through other services
Self-hosting does not remove Meta or the integrations you configure. WhatsApp messages use the official WhatsApp Business Platform, and connected providers process the information required for their function. WAPI receives a limited licensing payload, not your customer contacts, messages, automation data, or files.
- Meta handles the WhatsApp messaging path
- Configured integrations follow their own data flows
- Licensing checks use identifiers and license metadata, not customer conversation content
03 / Self-Hosted WhatsApp Automation
More of the customer journey is built in
WAPIServer combines WhatsApp automation with operational modules that can reduce the need to assemble separate tools for every workflow. Feature availability and usage limits always follow the selected plan.
- Shared inbox, campaigns, chatbot, AI controls, forms, and appointments
- Catalog, online store, invoices, payments, and e-invoicing connections
- Email marketing, reporting, API, webhooks, and supported integrations
04 / Self-Hosted WhatsApp Automation
Choose self-managed or managed operations
Technical teams can install and operate WAPIServer themselves. Businesses that want operational help can request separately priced managed hosting, setup, monitoring, backups, updates, and business-hours support without mixing that service fee into the software licence.
- Self-managed deployment for internal technical teams
- Managed operations without a public SLA
- Customization remains a separate Professional Services engagement
