Field Notes

Notes from a team running WhatsApp CRM in production.

No SEO listicles. No “10 ways to boost engagement.” Just writing from engineers, designers, and operators on the BotSync team — about Cloud API quirks, template approvals, AI agent design, pricing economics, and what we've learned from real lead-ops teams across India.

What we write about

Six tracks — each one fed by what we actually work on every day. We'd rather ship one good post a fortnight than fifteen generic ones.

Engineering

Cloud API internals, webhook reliability, deliverability, message ordering, rate-limit reverse engineering.

0 live · 2 queued

AI agent design

Account-level prompts, safe-fact guards, handoff heuristics, knowledge-base chunking, hallucination mitigation.

Why your “agentic” AI keeps hallucinating prices

Reading your WABA quality rating like a doctor reads an ECG

Editorial direction

What this blog is — and isn't

Written by the people who built it

Every post has a named author from the team who shipped the thing — not an outsourced content writer reading docs.

Specific over generic

Real numbers, real configurations, real screenshots from production. No “5 tips to boost engagement.”

Honest about what we don't know

Some posts will say “we tried this, it didn't work, here's what we'd do differently.” That's the writing we want to read too.

India-first context

Templates that get approved here. BSP markups in Indian rupees. WABA quirks that bite mostly Indian numbers. Where context matters, we use ours.
