Is the WhatsApp Business API required to oversee staff chats?
No. StaffPeek runs on ordinary WhatsApp Web sessions opened on your desktop, the same kind of session your team would use for WhatsApp on any computer. You do not apply for API access, wait for Meta to approve anything, sign up with a Business Solution Provider, pay conversation charges per message or get templates approved. Every employee scans a QR code one time, and from then on their session remains signed in on the manager’s PC.
Key takeaway: Each account in StaffPeek behaves exactly like a regular WhatsApp Web session, so the Business API never comes into it.
