Freelance WhatsApp API Developer in Chile

Freelance WhatsApp Business API developer for Chile: WhatsApp Business API, chatbots and automation. Planned for Chile's new data law and local payments.

Overview

WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API) set-up — verified sender, approved templates, chatbots, order and appointment notifications, and CRM integration. Projects for Chile run remotely, with a daily call window agreed for your city's time zone. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Chile-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Chile have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

  • Channels that matter most in Chile: WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook.
  • Law 19,628 — being replaced by Law 21,719 (in force from December 2026): The new law creates a data-protection agency and GDPR-style duties, so new builds should plan for it now.
  • Interface and content languages: Spanish.

Share your budget in CLP or USD. The schedule, payment milestones, external charges and support terms are agreed in writing before work starts.

How long does a WhatsApp API integration take?

Will the project follow Chile's new data law in Chile?

The build is planned around Law 19,628 and the incoming Law 21,719 (in force from December 2026): consent capture on forms, a clear privacy notice, data minimisation and suitable hosting. The new law creates a data-protection agency and GDPR-style duties, so new builds should plan for it now. Final legal wording should be checked by your legal adviser.
