Summary

This article explains how credits are used in Wati. Each action - sending messages, using voice chat, or triggering events - consumes a certain number of credits. Knowing how credits are calculated helps you manage your usage more effectively.

Instructions

Here’s a clear breakdown of how credits are charged for different activities in Wati:

Messages

  • 1 credit = 1 chat message
    Every message you send in a conversation deducts 1 credit.

Voice chat

  • 10 credits = 1 minute of voice chat (0–60 seconds)

  • Even if your voice chat lasts less than 60 seconds, it still costs 10 credits.

  • If the voice chat goes beyond 60 seconds, you’re charged another 10 credits for the next minute.

Event triggers

  • 6 credits = 1 event trigger
    Each time an event is triggered, 6 credits are deducted from your balance.
