Interakt ‑ WhatsApp Marketing

I have been disappointed with my experience using Interakt.

They offer a 14-day demo, but it does not provide access to all features, including key integrations. As a result, the only way to properly test the platform was to pay $51. Unfortunately, after paying, the app did not work as expected, leaving me out of pocket without being able to adequately evaluate the product.

The chatbot builder is also very basic, with limited features and a clunky user experience. It lacks the flexibility and functionality I expected, making it difficult to build and manage effective automated conversations.

Before signing up, I was also promised a fast-tracked onboarding/demo process. However, after payment was made, I was informed that I would need to wait approximately a week. This was frustrating as it did not match the expectations set during the sales process.

The support has also been poor. Despite raising several issues, I have not received satisfactory resolutions, and communication has often been slow and unhelpful. For a platform focused on customer communication and automation, I expected a much higher standard of support.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of effective support, the limitations of the chatbot builder, and unresolved issues, I have decided to uninstall the platform and move to an alternative.

There are a lot of negative reviews about this product, and to be fair, many of them are valid. I had a similar experience at first. However, everything changed when I was assigned to a support agent named Pranali. She resolved about 99% of my issues in a one-hour Google Meet session. Now my account is on autopilot: all automations are set up, and every setting has been optimized.

Extremely disappointing experience with Interakt.
Our WhatsApp marketing automations suddenly stopped working because our subscription was automatically deactivated without any warning, even though we were already on a paid Growth plan (~$41).
To make matters worse, the platform then showed two different subscriptions on the same account:

Growth Plan under Sell on WhatsApp
Starter Plan under WhatsApp Marketing

Because the marketing channel had stopped functioning entirely, we were forced to subscribe again just to restore basic functionality, meaning we are now being double billed for something that should be a single service.
We raised a support ticket immediately.
It has now been several days with no resolution. The only response we received was:
"We are checking internally."

Meanwhile:
Our automations stopped working
Our WhatsApp marketing campaigns were disrupted
Our billing is incorrect
And there is no urgency from the support team

For a platform that positions itself as a critical business tool, this level of support is unacceptable.
When a company’s marketing infrastructure breaks, days of delay is not acceptable.
If this issue is not resolved immediately and the billing corrected, we will be moving our business to another platform.
Right now, based on this experience, I cannot recommend Interakt to any serious Shopify brand.
