WA Coexistence: one WhatsApp number, phone app and API

Editorial interest 72/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A self-hostable app for using WhatsApp Business on the same number as an existing WhatsApp API integration.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.

For: WhatsApp Business API operators sharing a number with phone users
Worth noticing: Incoming webhooks bypass the service; outgoing traffic routes through its endpoint, while rate limiting is still marked upcoming.

Field notes

The setup asks operators to scan a QR code, direct incoming messages to their own endpoint, and reroute outgoing messages through the service. Its stated boundary is asymmetric: incoming traffic bypasses it, while outgoing traffic passes through for safeguards. The page labels rate limiting and per-recipient serialization as upcoming, so those protections should not be read as current functionality.
