Switch from Interakt to bananaleaf.ai without losing your number

The five steps

1. Keep the number. Meta allows a WhatsApp Business number to move between providers. We run the migration with you; the number keeps working on the old platform until the move completes, and nothing is sent to customers.
2. Bring the contacts. Export contacts from the old platform as CSV and import them here with a name, phone and (optionally) a pipeline stage. Duplicates merge by phone, and nobody is messaged on import.
3. Re-submit the templates. Approved templates belong to the old provider's connection, so the ones you still use are re-submitted under your number here. Meta approves most utility templates within a day.
4. Teach the assistant. Upload your price sheet and documents, confirm the facts it reads, and set the pipeline stages. The AI agent only answers from what you approved.
5. Go live on a quiet day. Switch the number, watch the first conversations in the inbox with the team, and let the follow-ups run. Your WhatsApp Business app keeps working on the same number if you use it.

What changes on day one

• The AI is not metered by a 100-message add-on; it answers every lead and writes the deal record as part of the plan.
• Bookings are built in; a demo, a site visit or a consultation lands on a calendar from inside the chat.
• The deal record fills itself from the conversation, so the pipeline is current without anyone typing.

Specific to Interakt

• Your number moves with you under Meta's provider migration; we handle it with you.
• Export contacts and the pipeline stage from Interakt as CSV; the import places each lead on a stage here.
• Templates are re-submitted under your number here.
• Keep the WhatsApp Business app on the same number if you use it; we run alongside it.
