The 5 Best Automation Tools for WhatsApp and Telegram in 2026: Complete Comparison
Why use automation tools on WhatsApp and Telegram?
Manually managing all interactions of a business profile on WhatsApp and Telegram is impractical when the volume grows. Comments, DMs, Story replies, welcoming new followers — all of this requires constant time and attention. Automation tools solve this problem by automating repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on strategy and customer relationships.
The market offers dozens of options, but not all are reliable. Illegal bots that simulate human behavior can result in permanent account bans. The tools we recommend in this comparison exclusively use the official Meta API, ensuring total security.

- Security: use of the official Meta API

The questions our community asks the most
We collected the questions beginners ask us the most and answered each one in a sentence, the way we answer in support.
Do I need a company to be an affiliate?
Not to start. Most programs accept individuals and pay directly to the registered bank account. Incorporating becomes a choice once revenue grows.
Can I be an affiliate without showing my face?
Yes. Many affiliates work entirely through messaging groups and channels using text, product images and links. Trust comes from the quality and consistency of the offers.
How do I post to many groups at once?
By organising your offer catalogue and schedule in one place: you set the times and the system publishes to every connected group and channel. That is what keeps dozens of channels active without copy-pasting all day.
Which affiliate program is best to start with?
Start with the store your audience already buys from: fashion audiences fit Shein and Shopee, tech audiences fit Amazon, AliExpress and Mercado Livre. Once you have rhythm, add a digital product for the higher commission per sale.
How do I become an affiliate?
Pick a program (marketplace or digital product), register for free with the account you already use, list where you will promote and wait for approval, which usually takes one to two days.
How much do affiliates earn?
Marketplaces pay a percentage of each order, typically single to low double digits, while digital products pay far more per sale. Consistency across channels matters more than the program you pick.
