What is Whatomate?
Whatomate is a self-hosted WhatsApp Business Platform built for teams that need calling, IVR routing, and messaging automation on their own infrastructure. It connects to Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API and provides a complete suite including inbound and outbound voice calls, a visual node-based IVR builder for call routing, encrypted call recordings streamed directly to any S3-compatible storage, a shared team inbox with chatbot handoff, Meta-synced message templates, bulk campaigns with real-time analytics, and a REST API with webhooks for integration. The stack runs as a single Go binary with an embedded Vue.js frontend, deployed via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and Redis included. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and currently in beta (pre-1.0).
