Bitrix24 cloud version basic implementation for only $400. What list of tasks is included in the basic implementation?

I like to use Serverless AWS technology: Lambda and API Gateway to customize the cloud Bitrix24. It is comfortable, simple, elegant and very cheap. For example, AWS Lambda gives us the possibility to check post tracking numbers for free for the first year through the Post SOAP service. After a year, if my measurements and calculations are correct, checking 100,000 post tracking numbers will cost about $12.  What do we need for this:

The main problem is that when updating a list item, we need to fill not only field we need to update but all the fields. Therefore, before the update, we must first request all the fields of the element by ID, reformat them into another array, and only then update.

Many of my clients use Bitrix24 cloud version as a CRM system and project management system. The main advantage of the cloud version over the on-premise is that the client does not need to think about a server, it's support and security. However, this advantage is partially lost when the need arises to extend the functionality of Bitrix24 through custom applications. Fortunately for the operation of simple non-replicable applications, those for which webhooks are usually used, do not need a server. Serverless service Lambda from AWS (Amazon Web Services) https://aws.amazon.com/ru/lambda/ and Amazon API Gateway https://aws.amazon.com/ru/api-gateway/ are enough.

The task of integrating the CRM Bitrix24 with WhatsApp was implemented by me and my team 4 times using various methods. (2 times for Cloud Bitrix24 and 2 times for Self-hosted Bitrix24). We have been working on this task for the last 3 months. The WhatsApp messenger has not yet opened API for everyone, so in order to integrate Bitrix24 with WhatsApp, we had to use third-party services as a proxy.

This morning one of my clients asked me how to set up a company card in Bitrix24 for storing such data:
