The short version
As of November 2026, Make's WhatsApp Business Cloud app needs a Meta Business account, a business portfolio and a WhatsApp Business number, and its Telegram app uses a bot token. Make's hosted MCP server lets Claude and ChatGPT run your scenarios as tools, with a time limit of 25 to 40 seconds per run. The free plan includes 1,000 credits a month. ConnectChats links the personal WhatsApp account on your phone, so your AI app can read the chats you already have.
