Meta channels behave differently from web chat—24‑hour session rules, template starts, and strict policies. To optimize WhatsApp and Instagram DM assistants, you need analytics that track opt‑ins, template performance, response quality, and revenue or deflection impact. Here are the best analytics platforms for Meta channels in 2025.

What Matters on Meta Channels​

  • Opt‑in and entry points: QR codes, links, ads with CTA
  • Session rules: 24‑hour window vs. template restarts
  • Template performance: Open, reply, and conversion rates by message template
  • Customer outcomes: Bookings, sales, returns, escalations
  • Compliance: Consent capture, unsubscribe flows, approved use‑cases
