    WhatsApp Business API
    in Zhanaozen

    An oil workers' town in Mangystau with lots of young families, where almost everyone arranges things on WhatsApp. A driving school, shop or service needs a company number: students and customers write to one place, and replies don't depend on who's on shift today.

    How leads are lost right now

    Three situations almost every company knows

    A student doesn't know when the driving lesson is

    The instructor gave the time in a personal chat, the message got lost, and the car sat idle for an hour.

    Rotation work disrupts the schedule

    Many customers work rotations in the oilfield and write when they get back. By the time a manager sees the message, they've left again.

    Announcing a new intake one person at a time

    You can't tell all past customers about a new group or promotion from a regular number: bulk sending quickly ends in a restriction.

    How does a driving school in Zhanaozen manage students through WhatsApp?

    A student writes to the driving school's number, and the administrator and instructor see one conversation and one schedule.

    How do you connect WhatsApp Business API in Zhanaozen without a trip to Aktau?

    Everything is done remotely and takes about 15 minutes. The steps use a driving school as the example, but the town's shops and services connect the same way.

    2 minutes

    Registering the driving school

    Create a WazzaBee dashboard and a WhatsApp Business API line. We see the request and join right away to help.

    5 minutes

    Meta form with the school's details

    Enter the driving school's name, the number and the profile name students will see. We'll show you how to fill in the fields so Meta doesn't send the application back.

    2 minutes

    A call or SMS with a code

    Meta sends a code to the school's number, you enter it, and from that minute the number receives messages through the official channel.

    5 minutes

    Reminders and instructors

    We write a driving lesson reminder template and an intake announcement, send them for moderation and give instructors access to the line.

    alongside your work

    Company verification

    You go through Meta's check while the line is already receiving messages. Until then a daily limit on new conversations applies, and Meta lifts it afterwards. We'll help prepare the documents.

    What you get

    01

    The driving school's number for every student

    Students, parents and instructors communicate through one number, and the administrator sees every arrangement.

    02

    Lesson reminders by template

    “Driving lesson tomorrow at 10:00, the lot by the school”: the text is approved by Meta once and goes to the student in a couple of clicks.

    03

    A greeting for newcomers

    Someone writing for the first time gets a greeting at once, and at night an auto-reply with opening hours.

    04

    Voice notes without listening

    A student out at the oilfield sent a voice note, AI turned it into text, and the administrator read it between calls.

    05

    A CRM for tracking groups

    Bitrix24 and amoCRM connect through ready-made integrations; your own system works through the open API and webhooks.

    06

    Payment in ₸, $, €

    By card or by invoice for sole proprietors and companies; invoice payments come with closing documents.

    Why is a shared school number better than instructors' personal phones?

    Lesson arrangements are visible to the manager and don't disappear when an instructor changes.

    Who in Zhanaozen benefits from official WhatsApp?

    Zhanaozen grew up around oil production in Mangystau. There are many young and large families here, which means plenty of demand for training, children's goods, healthcare and services. Almost all of it starts with a message in the messenger.

    Driving schools and courses

    Joining a group, theory, driving, the exam: every arrangement is kept in the school's chats, not on an instructor's phone.

    Children's goods and clothing

    Parents ask about sizes and stock, the shop replies from one number and announces new arrivals by template.

    Contracting and services for the oilfield

    Requests, invoices and crew call-out dates are agreed in the company's chats. If a manager is away on rotation, a colleague carries on the conversation.

    Clinics and dental practices

    Bookings in writing, a template reminder the day before, and an evening question gets an auto-reply with opening hours.

    Who it suits in Zhanaozen

    • Driving schools: enrolment, driving schedule, reminders
    • Children's shops: sizes, stock, new arrivals
    • Kindergartens and clubs: keeping in touch with parents
    • Dental practices and clinics: bookings and reminders
    • Oilfield service companies: request, invoice, call-out
    • Car services and parts: matching parts and car ready
    • Furniture and appliances: delivery and assembly
    • Toi and celebrations: venue booking and menu

    Frequently asked questions

    Will this work for a driving school with several instructors?

    Yes. Instructors and the administrator work from one number, each with their own access. The owner sees all conversations and removes access if someone leaves.

    How quickly can we start in Zhanaozen?

    About 15 minutes if the number can receive a call or SMS with a code and isn't used in regular WhatsApp. Meta's company check takes place after launch.

    Can we keep the number our students know?

    Yes. If the number is in the WhatsApp Business app, we connect it in Coexistence mode: the app stays on the phone, the official channel works alongside it, and chat history from the last six months can be transferred.

    Can we announce a new intake to all past customers?

    Yes, with a broadcast based on a Meta-approved template. These messages are paid; the cost depends on how many you send and is shown in the calculator.

    What does a customer see when writing at night after a shift?

    An out-of-hours auto-reply with opening hours. In the morning a staff member replies from the shared queue, and the message doesn't get lost.

    How do we pay, and how long is the trial?

    The trial lasts 7 days on any plan. Then you pay in tenge, dollars or euros, by card or by invoice for sole proprietors and companies.

    We will connect your +7 number

    Signing up takes a couple of minutes and the first 7 days are free. We will help you pass Meta's review and write your first templates: without them a channel often gets stuck in moderation.
