Yapper as a BotConversa alternative
BotConversa is a Brazilian WhatsApp automation platform for entrepreneurs: you build automations by connecting blocks, your team shares one inbox, and on the Pro plan an AI agent answers, qualifies and books appointments over the official Meta connection, with a sales CRM and more than 50 integrations.

- Activate your plan and finish the setup chat. The setup assistant fills your Handbook and your business rules with you.
- Disconnect your WhatsApp number from BotConversa so each customer gets one answer, then connect it in Yapper under Settings, Senders. A number you use in the WhatsApp Business app keeps working there. If Meta reports that the number's two-step verification PIN does not match, reset the PIN in WhatsApp Manager and connect again.
- Connect Instagram, Messenger or the website chat too if your customers write there, and invite your team, with no per-user fee.
