WhatsApp Business API in Russia

WhatsApp Business API is not currently available for the Russia domestic market through Chronex360. Russia blocked WhatsApp for users in February 2026, following the 2022 blocking of Facebook and Instagram and a Russian court ruling designating Meta Platforms an "extremist organization," which bars Meta from operating a business in the country. Chronex360 can still support businesses reaching Russian-speaking customers outside Russia.

How to launch on Chronex360

For businesses reaching Russian-speaking customers outside Russia — exporters, diaspora-facing retailers, and companies serving Russian-speaking communities abroad — Chronex360 captures each WhatsApp enquiry the moment it arrives, tags it by intent, and routes it to an available agent so nothing sits unanswered. As a conversation develops from first contact through qualification, order confirmation, and delivery, the entire thread stays attached to that lead, giving the team a consistent, traceable record of the relationship. Russian-language templates alongside English keep responses natural for the audience, and Chronex360 helps businesses keep outbound communication aligned with applicable sanctions and compliance regulations throughout. Conversion reporting then shows which channels are genuinely producing completed, fulfilled transactions.
