BizMagnets is a WhatsApp Business API platform with a chatbot builder and broadcast tools, and it's a reasonable choice for small businesses in India or Southeast Asia looking for an affordable WhatsApp bot and broadcast tool on the official API. Teams look at Tenashi when they want to run WhatsApp sales and support from one shared inbox without a heavy setup.

Where Tenashi stands out
Start on your existing WhatsApp number without API registration — BizMagnets requires the official Business API, which adds a Meta approval step before you can use the platform.
A full contact CRM with company history, custom fields and deal records is built in, not bolted on — so every WhatsApp conversation enriches a persistent customer record your whole team can see.
A visual sales pipeline with deal stages lets your sales team track opportunities from first chat to closed deal inside the same tool as the inbox, with no external CRM subscription needed.
