WhatsApp Business Automation

Using the WhatsApp Business API for enquiries, notifications and support, within the rules.

How does WhatsApp business automation work?

It uses the WhatsApp Business API to send and receive messages programmatically — order updates, appointment reminders, enquiry handling and support. Business-initiated messages must use approved templates and require opt-in. Personal WhatsApp accounts cannot be automated this way, and messaging people without consent risks the number being blocked.

The problem this solves

In much of the Indian market WhatsApp is where customers actually talk to businesses, but it is handled on personal phones with no record, no routing and no continuity when staff change.

Signs this applies to you

  • Customer conversations live on a staff member's personal phone.
  • Nobody can see the conversation history when someone is away.
  • Enquiries arrive on WhatsApp and never reach the CRM.
  • Notifications are sent manually, one at a time.

How we approach it

  • Move to the WhatsApp Business API so conversations belong to the business.
  • Get opt-in properly and record it.
  • Use approved templates for business-initiated messages.
  • Route incoming messages to the right person with shared history.
  • Connect conversations to the CRM so enquiries are not lost.
  • Automate transactional notifications, keeping conversations human.
