**Introducing the WhatsApp Coexistence Feature in Closed Beta for Business Growth**
As a small to medium-sized business owner, service provider, CRM user, coach, or consultant, you understand the value of leveraging powerful tools to streamline communication and drive growth. We’re thrilled to announce the beta launch of the WhatsApp Coexistence feature. This game-changing innovation allows businesses to seamlessly use their existing WhatsApp Business App account alongside our CRM platforms like HighLevel, enhancing customer interactions and automations.
**What is Coexistence?**
The Coexistence feature empowers businesses to use both the WhatsApp Business App and Cloud API solutions simultaneously. This allows businesses that primarily rely on the WhatsApp Business App to scale customer interactions with powerful Cloud API-enabled tools, all while keeping their existing app and phone number for seamless continuity. With the Coexistence feature, businesses can integrate WhatsApp with their CRM to unlock capabilities like bulk messaging, automations, and marketing templates, while still enjoying free 1:1 and group messaging through the WhatsApp Business mobile app.
**What’s New?**
Seamless Integration: Connect your existing WhatsApp Business App account with LeadConnector’s CRM.
Sync Contacts and Chats: Import up to six months of chat history and all contacts from your WhatsApp Business App.
