24sessions is perfect for appointments such as coaching (my use case) where you want them to be able to go into your booking calendar, choose a time and schedule the appointment - or to schedule it from your end. They they get an email on creation and reminder email. I find it not helpful or at least, not at all intuitive, for setting up a host created meeting immediately. You can create it so you can be live at anytime, but host created isn't as any to set up

Alternatives Considered
Regarding WhatsApp Business, it is a very useful tool because templates can be programmed for the entire organization and clients can also be referred to other users in order to decongest an agent who can become quite busy. Otherwise there would be no way to serve you through two agents and you could have a bad end user or customer experience.

Telegram is hands down superior when it comes to privacy. They can also just handle more people and make searching for previous conversations a breeze. It's not entertaining as much as whatsapp is, but the privacy is amazing, and the video quality is perfect! I highly recommend this app to everyone I meet!
