Why businesses switch to KobiChat
Your current platform probably does a fine job. But if you want a solution from the Netherlands with data in the EU and personal support, KobiChat is built for exactly your situation.
From the Netherlands, start to finish
The software, the manual and the people who help you: all from our own team in the Netherlands. You get answers straight from the team behind KobiChat, not from a ticket system in another time zone.
Hosted in the EU
Your customer data is stored on servers within the European Union, managed from the Netherlands. We work in line with the GDPR and make daily backups - easy to explain to your own customers.
Fair, transparent pricing
A clear subscription with no surprises - cancel any month. We walk you through the per-conversation fees Meta charges, openly and transparently, so you know exactly where you stand.
Your own number & WABA
You work on your own WhatsApp Business account, connected through Meta’s official Cloud API. Your number and account stay yours - no lock-in, no unofficial workarounds that put your number at risk.
AI lead qualification included
Let a chatbot ask the first questions and pre-qualify your leads. The answers are saved to the contact automatically, so your team only sees the serious enquiries - a standard part of KobiChat.
Open API and webhooks
Connect KobiChat to your CRM, online store or an automation tool such as n8n, Make or Zapier. Send messages through the REST API and receive every incoming message as an HMAC-signed webhook.
You bring more with you than you think
Switching feels like a hassle, but most of it moves across automatically or with a single upload. Here’s exactly what comes with you - and what we’re honest about.
Your templates
Your approved template messages aren’t stored with your current provider, but with Meta itself. As soon as you connect your number to KobiChat, they’re synced straight from Meta and appear in your workspace. There’s nothing to resubmit.
Automatic - zero effortContacts, labels & attributes
Export your contacts as a CSV from your current platform and upload the file to KobiChat. Your labels and custom fields come along, so you can segment for campaigns right away.
One uploadYour own number
Your business WhatsApp number moves across through Meta’s official number migration. You keep the same number your customers know - we guide you through the migration so you don’t miss a single message.
Official Meta migrationHonest about your old conversations
Technically, we can’t restore old chat history: Meta’s WhatsApp Cloud API doesn’t deliver historical messages from another platform. That applies to every official platform, not just KobiChat. What does happen: your contacts come with you, and from day 1 all new conversations run neatly in KobiChat. Want to keep your old conversations? Export them from your current platform before you switch.

All about switching
Can I bring my WhatsApp number to KobiChat?
Yes. Your business WhatsApp number moves across through Meta’s official number migration. You keep the same number your customers know - you simply connect it to your own WhatsApp Business account (WABA) within KobiChat. We guide you through that step so you don’t miss any messages.
Do my templates come with me when I switch?
Yes, automatically. Approved template messages aren’t stored with your current provider but with Meta itself. As soon as you connect your WhatsApp number to KobiChat, your existing templates are fetched straight from Meta and appear in your workspace. You don’t need to recreate or resubmit them.
What happens to my old WhatsApp conversations?
Honest answer: old chat history technically can’t be restored. Meta’s WhatsApp Cloud API doesn’t deliver historical messages from another platform. Your contacts, labels and attributes do come with you via a CSV import, and from day 1 all new conversations run neatly in KobiChat. Want to keep your old conversations? Export them from your current platform before you switch.
How long does switching to KobiChat take?
In practice, it’s usually done in an afternoon. Creating an account and importing your contacts takes a few minutes; the number migration via Meta is the most important step, and we guide you through it personally. Templates are fetched automatically, so there’s nothing for you to do there.
Can I switch from another WhatsApp platform too?
Yes. The process is the same as with any other provider, because every official platform works with the same WhatsApp Business API from Meta. Your number migrates via Meta, your templates are fetched from Meta and you import your contacts via CSV. Whichever official platform you use today, the switch works the same way.
Is my data safe, and where is it hosted?
Your data is stored on servers within the European Union, managed by KobiTech B.V. in the Netherlands. We work in line with the GDPR, don’t share your data with third parties for advertising and make daily backups. Messages run through Meta’s official WhatsApp Business Cloud API.
Am I tied to anything after switching?
No. You work on your own WhatsApp Business account, so your number and your WABA stay yours - no lock-in. You can export your contacts and conversations at any time. It’s always your data.
