Best Use Cases
Ehsan's Growth Take
Chatfuel's abandoned cart recovery on Messenger and WhatsApp achieves 10-15% recovery rates in my observation across DTC clients. That's competitive with email recovery flows. If you sell on Shopify and advertise on Meta, the math is simple: recovered carts pay for the subscription within the first week.
