Getting Started with VelaFlows

VelaFlows is an omnichannel customer support platform that lets you manage conversations across WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram, and more — all from a single API.

What You Can Do with the API

The VelaFlows API gives you programmatic access to everything in the platform:

  • Inbox — List, filter, assign, and reply to conversations across all channels
  • CRM — Create and manage leads, move them through pipeline stages, track activities
  • Messaging — Send WhatsApp templates, broadcast messages, and reply to conversations
  • Contacts — Create, update, and enrich customer profiles with custom properties
  • Automations — Trigger workflows, manage automation rules, and build integrations
  • AI Assistant — Query the knowledge base, generate suggested replies, and classify conversations
  • Webhooks — Subscribe to real-time events and react to platform activity instantly

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A VelaFlows account at app.velaflows.com
