What is Whatomate?

Whatomate is a modern, open-source WhatsApp Business platform delivered as a single binary. Upstream lists multi-tenant organisations, roles and permissions, WhatsApp Cloud API integration, a real-time chat inbox, template management, bulk campaigns, chatbot automation, canned responses and an analytics dashboard. A self-hosted Whatomate is an alternative to hosted WhatsApp Business tools, licensed AGPL-3.0, and upstream tags this release as beta, with documentation published on its own site.

On xCloud it is Whatomate 0.1.1-beta-0.16.1 with PostgreSQL 17 and Redis 7, all pinned by digest, with uploads, audio, database and Redis data on four volumes. xCloud generates the secrets and a webhook verify token and serves it over HTTPS. You supply the Meta developer account, voice calling is not available, and agent self-registration cannot be switched off.

From Sign-Up to a Live Whatomate In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Whatomate install needs the app, PostgreSQL, Redis, secrets, a webhook endpoint, four volumes, a domain and a certificate before WhatsApp messages can arrive. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Whatomate from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain, then enter the admin email, a password and a display name.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We start the Whatomate 0.1.1 beta image with PostgreSQL 17 and Redis 7, all pinned by digest, generate the secrets and a webhook verify token, mount four volumes and publish the app over HTTPS.
Step 03
Connect Your Meta Webhook
Sign in and change the password. In your Meta developer account, point the WhatsApp Cloud API webhook at your domain's /api/webhook path with the verify token, then add your business number in Whatomate.

WhatsApp Cloud API Platform: Whatomate On Your Own Server

Whatomate runs here with its records on volumes you control, and your own Meta account supplies the WhatsApp connection.

WhatsApp Cloud API Integration
Upstream connects to Meta's WhatsApp Business API for messaging, which needs your own Meta developer account.
Real-Time Inbox
Live messaging over WebSocket gives your agents an instant view of conversations.
Templates And Bulk Campaigns
Manage message templates approved by Meta, and send campaigns to many contacts with retries for failed messages.
Chatbot Automation
Keyword auto-replies, flows with branching logic and AI responses through OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, using keys you supply.
Roles And Multi-Tenancy
Upstream supports several organisations with isolated data and custom roles with fine-grained permissions.
No Voice Calling Here
Upstream lists voice calling and IVR, but its media needs a UDP range this deployment does not publish, so those features are unavailable.

Whatomate vs Alternatives

Hosted WhatsApp Business tools: As a self-hosted alternative to hosted WhatsApp Business tools, Whatomate keeps conversations and contacts on your server, though you still need your own Meta developer account.
Chatwoot: Chatwoot has its own OneClick page. In a Whatomate vs Chatwoot comparison, Chatwoot is a broader customer engagement platform, whereas Whatomate is built around the WhatsApp Business platform.
Evolution API: Evolution API has its own OneClick page. It is another self-hosted route to WhatsApp messaging, so compare how each connects and what it supports.
Rocket.Chat: Rocket.Chat has its own OneClick page. It is a team chat app that you could run beside a customer-facing WhatsApp inbox.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Do I need a Meta developer account for Whatomate?

Yes. Whatomate connects to Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API, so a business number works only with your own Meta developer account and its webhook set up. xCloud does not provide one, and WhatsApp and Meta do not endorse this service.

What is the Whatomate webhook URL?

Your domain followed by /api/webhook, shown in the credentials panel along with the generated verify token. Enter both in the Meta WhatsApp Cloud API webhook settings so Meta can deliver messages to your server, and keep the verify token private.

Does Whatomate support WhatsApp voice calling?

Not on this template. Upstream lists voice calling and IVR, but their WebRTC media needs a UDP range that this deployment does not publish, so those features are unavailable. Messaging, templates, campaigns and chatbots are what you get.

Can anyone register as an agent on Whatomate?

Anyone who knows your organisation ID can self-register as an agent, and upstream has no setting to turn this off. Check Settings, then Users, regularly and remove accounts you do not recognise, and keep the organisation ID private.

Can you self-host Whatomate with Docker?

Yes. Upstream ships a Docker image, and this template is Whatomate Docker hosting with the database and cache included: the 0.1.1 beta image, PostgreSQL and Redis pinned by digest, four volumes and HTTPS on your own domain.

How much RAM does Whatomate need?

The manifest asks for 512 MB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 10 GB of disk. The app, PostgreSQL 17 and Redis 7 all run on the same server, and the 6 GB plan leaves ample room for the three of them together.

Is Whatomate stable?

No. Upstream tags this release as beta, so expect changes and rough edges between versions. Back up all volumes before you move versions, and test your webhook and a template send after every change, as well as an inbound message.

Is Whatomate open source?

Yes. Whatomate is licensed under AGPL-3.0, so there is no licence fee for the software. You pay for the Cloud VPS, which gives you a Whatomate cloud of your own. Any charges from Meta for the WhatsApp Cloud API are between you and Meta.

How do I back up Whatomate?

Back up whatomate_postgres, whatomate_redis, whatomate_uploads and whatomate_audio together, plus the generated secrets, and the JWT and encryption keys. Nothing backs them up automatically, so copy them off the server on a schedule and test restoring into a separate install first.

Backup and restore Docker apps

How do I upgrade Whatomate?

The install stays on its pinned beta image until you adopt a newer template version. Read the upstream release notes and back up all four volumes first. Nothing upgrades automatically, and a redeploy keeps your conversation history.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
