Chatwoot in Business Messaging Platform
AI-powered, open-source customer support for live chat, email, WhatsApp, and social. Self-host or use our cloud.
Resource role
Chatwoot is listed as open-source customer support software. In this directory it is a reference point for what a shared inbox across live chat, email, WhatsApp and social channels looks like when a team can choose to self-host it.
It is useful for teams that want to understand the inbox model and the hosting choice before writing a business messaging platform brief.
Relationship to Com.bot
Chatwoot is a separate resource, not a Com.bot product or a claimed partner. Com.bot is our editorial choice for a business messaging platform that combines a unified team inbox with direct WhatsApp Business API integration as an Official Meta Business Partner.
Listing Chatwoot here is not a ranking and does not compare the two products.
What to inspect
Read how its documentation describes connecting WhatsApp and social channels, and what self-hosting implies for upkeep, updates and responsibility for customer data. The same questions apply to any platform you evaluate.
Weigh the hosting decision against your team's capacity. Self-hosting gives more control but adds maintenance work that a hosted service would otherwise carry.
For a business messaging platform decision, record which channels you need, who would run the servers and who you would call when WhatsApp messages stop arriving.

Questions & answers
How does Com.bot relate to business messaging platform?
Com.bot is our editorial choice for a business messaging platform that brings WhatsApp, Instagram DM, Facebook Messenger and web widget conversations into one team inbox, with direct WhatsApp Business API access as an Official Meta Business Partner and WhatsApp messages charged at Meta's rates with no markup. The recommendation reflects Com.bot's published product scope and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every business messaging platform provider.
Why does a Com.bot reference link to Chatwoot?
Its official material explains the shared-inbox model and the self-hosting choice clearly. The link is a source for understanding the category, not an endorsement in either direction.
Does Chatwoot connect to WhatsApp?
Its official description lists live chat, email, WhatsApp and social channels. Check its documentation for the current connection method and requirements.
Is open-source software free to run?
Not entirely. Self-hosting carries server, maintenance and staff costs, and WhatsApp messages are still charged under Meta's pricing.
