## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How many WhatsApp numbers can I use?">
    You can integrate as many numbers as you need. QuickBot does not provide these numbers — you
    must use your own Meta application.
  </Accordion>

  {' '}

  <Accordion title="Can I link multiple bots to the same WhatsApp number?">
    Yes. You’ll need to configure a **Start bot condition** for each bot so the correct one triggers
    when a user starts a conversation.
  </Accordion>

  {' '}

  <Accordion title="Does WhatsApp integration require a paid API?">
    Integration uses the official **WhatsApp Business Platform** from Meta. Currently, the first
    **1,000 service conversations per month** are free. More details:{' '}

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I receive the initial preview message, but the bot doesn’t reply">
    This may be caused by a mismatch between the WhatsApp number shown in your WhatsApp profile
    settings and the number entered in QuickBot. For example, in Brazil some users have two numbers:
    one with 8 digits and another with 9. You must enter the exact number displayed in your WhatsApp
    profile for the bot to work correctly.
