Relaywave

WhatsApp automation with the costs on the table

Relaywave runs automated WhatsApp journeys — bookings, order updates, payment reminders, re-engagement — on Meta's official WhatsApp Business API. What sets it apart is the costing: you see exactly what every message will cost you before you send it.

In one paragraph

Relaywave is a WhatsApp automation platform from The Tech Genius, running on Meta's official WhatsApp Business API, that sends bookings, order updates, payment reminders and re-engagement journeys with the per-message cost shown before you send. It carries an AI reply layer with human handoff — one of the AI agents for business we build — and is configured to your store, CRM or booking system rather than sold as a fixed product.

How it’s delivered

Built and running on Meta's official Business Platform. Every deployment is configured to your business rather than handed to you as a fixed product — the flows, the integrations and the logic are yours.

Your WhatsApp provider is probably hiding the real cost

Meta moved to per-message billing in July 2025. Rates vary by as much as 13× between countries and 6× between message categories, and the rate follows your customer's country, not yours. Most platforms fold an undisclosed markup into a monthly plan, so if you message across borders your margin quietly erodes and you never see where it went.

What it does

  • A live cost calculator, before you send

    Pick your destination countries and message category and see Meta's actual rate plus our margin, itemised line by line.

  • Journeys built around the free window

    Replies inside the 24-hour customer service window cost nothing. Relaywave sequences conversations to use that window rather than billing you for messages you could have sent free.

  • AI replies with a real handoff

    An agent that answers the common questions and escalates cleanly to a human when it should. A confidently wrong bot damages a brand faster than a slow reply does.

  • Opt-in and quality management built in

    Consent capture, easy opt-out, template policy compliance and quality-rating monitoring. Number bans almost always trace back to messaging people outside the opt-in list.

  • Connected to your systems

    Your store, CRM, booking engine and payment gateway. Messaging is only worth automating when it can see your data.

  • Official API, end to end

    Built on Meta's Business Platform, so your number stays inside the platform's terms at any volume you send.

Who it’s for

  • Ecommerce brands handling high WhatsApp volume
  • Hotels, clinics and services booking by chat
  • Businesses messaging customers in more than one country
  • Anyone who wants an invoice they can read line by line
How quickly can we be live?

Business verification and template approval are the long poles, and those sit with Meta rather than us — typically a few days. Once your number is verified we can have your first journeys running the same week.

How is this different from an off-the-shelf WhatsApp platform?

Off-the-shelf platforms hand you a fixed feature set and you shape your business around it. We build the flows around how your business already works — your booking logic, your CRM, your fulfilment rules, your language. If something you need is missing, we write it, which is what working with an AI automation agency rather than buying a platform gets you — a platform product has to work the same way for everyone, so only a built-to-order system can offer it.

Can you move us over from our current provider?

Yes. Numbers can be migrated between providers, and we handle the verification, template rebuild and flow rebuild. We will map your existing journeys first so nothing you already rely on goes missing in the move.

Do you resell Meta's messaging at a markup?

Yes, and we show you the markup. Every provider adds margin; the difference is whether you can see it. Ours is itemised on the invoice next to Meta's own charge.

Is Relaywave a WhatsApp chatbot for business, or a full automation platform?

Both layers. The chatbot answers the common questions and hands over to a person; underneath it are the journeys — bookings, order updates, payment reminders — and the cost calculator. You can run the chatbot alone and add journeys later.
