05 · Migration path

- Create your Wutt workspace and set up your booking services with staff, services and buffer times.
- Connect your existing WhatsApp number via Meta Cloud API or QR session and import your client list.
- Re-submit your WhatsApp templates in Wutt; Meta keeps template approvals per business, not per provider.
- Point your link-in-bio, QR codes and web buttons at your Wutt booking link.
- Run both tools in parallel for a week so no client loses an appointment.
Most businesses are live in a few days. Your WhatsApp number does not change — Wutt connects to it via the Meta Cloud API or a QR session.

Questions buyers ask before switching
No. Your number stays with you — Calendly never touched it, and moving your booking flow to Wutt does not change it. Wutt connects your number via the Meta Cloud API or a QR session, and Meta template approvals are tied to your business, not to any provider.
The mechanical part takes an afternoon: export your calendar, set up your services in Wutt, import clients and switch your booking links. Most businesses run both calendars for a week before fully switching.
You can reuse the same template text, but you re-submit the templates inside Wutt so approvals are associated with your Wutt workspace. Most approvals take a few hours to a few days.
Yes — Calendly has a genuinely useful free plan, and Professional is around $15/seat/mo. But Calendly schedules outside WhatsApp: customers leave chat to pick a slot. Wutt's booking workflow runs inside WhatsApp with no-show tracking and payments in chat.
A scheduling link adds a step: the customer leaves your chat, opens a page, picks a time. Booking in chat keeps the conversation moving, and Wutt's reminders and no-show tracking reduce missed appointments automatically.
No. Meta bills you for message fees and Wutt bills a flat plan price — Wutt adds zero markup to Meta fees.
Wutt runs a $1 first-month trial. Calendly offers a free plan. Compare both on the same bookings.
