I built Waboom by accident.
I was working on Gemmix, a management app for jewelry stores, and it needed to send WhatsApp messages — order ready, repair done, the usual. So I went to the Meta Cloud API and hit a wall: business verification, message templates waiting for approval, a phone number I couldn't reuse. Weeks of paperwork to send a sentence to a customer who was already asking for it.
So I wrapped WhatsApp in the API I wanted in the first place. Scan a QR code, get an instance with its own token, POST a message. Incoming messages and delivery receipts come back as signed webhooks. One instance per client, so it works for multi-tenant apps.
Being straight with you: this is built on Baileys, not the official Cloud API. It's the right tool for your own number, your own clients, and conversations people asked for — not for cold-blasting strangers. If you need Meta's blessing for mass marketing, Waboom isn't it.
What's the first thing you'd wire it to?
