Jelou Apps is a WhatsApp number provided by Jelou that lets you share and test your conversational workflows and agents without needing to connect your own WhatsApp number. In the upper-right corner of the canvas, click Share to open the panel and share the latest version. What you see depends on whether your project has auto-publish enabled.

​
With auto-publish enabled

When auto-publish is enabled, the panel shows your project’s link and QR code directly, ready to share.
  • Link (jlu.ai): click the URL to copy it to the clipboard. You can also hold Shift or Ctrl while clicking to open it directly in a new tab.
  • Project code (XXX-XXX): unique per-project identifier that users can send to the Jelou Apps number to start a flow.
  • QR code: scanning it opens WhatsApp with the project code already pre-filled, ready to send.

​
With auto-publish disabled

When auto-publish is disabled, the panel shows two tabs: Public and Private. The Public tab generates a link and a project code that anyone can use to test your workflow directly in Jelou Apps.
1

Publish the link

If this is your first time sharing, click Publish & Share. If you already have published versions, the button will say Publish Public Link.
2

Copy the link or QR

Once published you will see:
  • Link (jlu.ai): click the URL to copy it to the clipboard. You can also hold Shift or Ctrl while clicking to open it directly in a new tab.
  • Project code (XXX-XXX): unique per-project identifier that users can send to the Jelou Apps number to start a flow.
  • QR code: scanning it opens WhatsApp with the project code already pre-filled, ready to send.

Share with your team

Send the link or QR to stakeholders, QA, or anyone who needs to test the flow. They do not need a Jelou account.
Click Unpublish inside the Public tab. The link will stop working immediately.
Revoking the link is irreversible. If you need to share again, you will need to generate a new link.

​
Private mode

The Private tab lets you add specific WhatsApp numbers for controlled testing directly in the real channel.
1

Enter the number

Type the number in international format (e.g. +593991234567) and click Add. The system will validate that it is a valid number.
2

The user receives access

The system will publish your project if there are pending changes and start a WhatsApp session. The user will receive a message to begin the interaction.
Private testing requires your project to have a WhatsApp channel configured. If you don’t have one, see the WhatsApp activation guide.

​
AI response cost

While you test from Jelou Apps, every response from an AI Agent node can arrive with a quote-style footer, right below the text, showing the tokens consumed in that turn and their cost, for example > 2,147 tokens · $0.0006. To see it, turn on Show cost when testing on WhatsApp in the node’s Advanced tab; it’s off by default. The Tester doesn’t need it: the cost always shows there. The amount is the price billed to your company, with the platform markup included. The footer appears only once per turn, at the end of the last text bubble. If the response ends in a file or an interactive message, or if the footer doesn’t fit within the WhatsApp text limit, it arrives as a separate message right after the response. Either way it’s part of the message text, so it’s saved in the conversation history and shows up in the Brain logs.

Footer with tokens and cost in Jelou Apps

The footer only appears on the numbers Jelou provides for testing, both with the public link and in private mode. When you connect your own WhatsApp number, your users never see it, even if the toggle is still on, so you don’t have to turn it off before going live.
Turns that end without sending a response to the user, for example when the agent hands the conversation off to another workflow or a tool pauses the flow, don’t show the footer.

​
Connect your own WhatsApp

Jelou Apps is ideal for testing and sharing your projects quickly. When you are ready to operate in production, you can connect your own WhatsApp number. By doing so, anyone who writes to your number will interact directly with your project — you no longer need Jelou Apps or the access code.
