What kind of WhatsApp can be connected?+−
WhatsApp Business, over Meta’s official API. It is the only connection that does not put the company number at risk. A personal WhatsApp cannot be connected: there is no official way to do it today, and the tools that hang off a regular WhatsApp are exactly the ones that end up with the number blocked.
Can I use my current number? And more than one?+−
Yes, you use the number your customers already know. And there can be more than one in the same inbox: per branch, per team or per brand, each with its own rule about who sees it, who can write from it and who gets the messages.
What is Coexistence?+−
It means you can keep using the WhatsApp app on the phone while the team works from Rumo on that same number. The rep does not change how they work and the company still keeps the record.
Which channels do you handle besides WhatsApp?+−
Any of them. Instagram, Facebook, email, web, TikTok and Mercado Libre come ready, in the same inbox, and calls too, outbound and inbound. If you need one that is not there yet, we build it.
Does it integrate with the systems we already use?+−
The ones with an API, we connect. The old ones without, too: we operate them the way a person does, with agents that use the computer. And if the information lives in a spreadsheet today, we start with the spreadsheet.
Can we send bulk messages?+−
Yes, with the templates Meta approves and over the official connection. That is how to do it without putting the company number at risk.
How long does it take?+−
Giving you access and getting you connected is immediate. Integrations and customisations depend on the case: depending on which systems have to be connected, between one and four weeks.
How is it priced?+−
There are three plans and they are above, under pricing. Rumo Basic costs USD 49 a month and comes with a single WhatsApp line, one connected agent and the whole platform: you set it up and start today, with no customisations. Rumo Pro costs USD 159, goes up to three lines, includes a thousand AI conversations a month and assigns you a support person. Rumo Partner starts at USD 500, has no line limit and is for when your systems have to be integrated or custom agents built: there the support and the customisations are done by AI and software engineers, and the price comes out of the analysis of your operation, which has no cost. Custom agents are charged per resolved task only: if they do not resolve, you do not pay.
Do I have to put my card in to pay Meta?+−
No. Meta charges for its messages separately from what we charge, but the payment method is ours and you pay us. The plan already includes an allowance of messages. If you go over in a given month, you see the overage in your own panel, itemised, and we bill it together with the plan. You can also set a cap so there are no surprises: when it is reached, we tell you before anything else goes out.
What are WhatsApp Flows and why are they worth it?+−
They are screens that open inside the conversation: a multi-step form, a calendar to pick a slot, a list to build an order. The customer never leaves WhatsApp or opens a link, and what they fill in goes straight into your systems. What makes them worth it is how Meta charges for them: the whole form travels as a single message, no matter how many screens and fields it has. Asking for eight details one at a time is eight messages; asking with a Flow is one. That gap matters more since 1 October 2026, when Meta started charging for reply messages inside the 24-hour window too, which used to be free.
And calls, how are those charged?+−
Differently from messages, so it is worth not mixing them up. Calls a customer makes to you are free. Calls your company places are charged by Meta on duration, not per message, at a rate that depends on the country you are calling and on the month’s volume. The permission request sent before calling is a message and is charged as one. On the Rumo side, calls come in and go out from the same inbox as everything else, they are recorded, and they arrive transcribed.
