WhatsApp automation & auto-replies
If this happens on WhatsApp, do that - automatically.
Set WhatsApp auto-replies without code: answer a keyword the moment it arrives, greet every new customer with a welcome message, catch everything else with a fallback, and let follow-ups send a template on the date you set.
WhatsApp auto-replies that run while you sleep.
Keyword triggers
Reply when a message contains, equals or starts with a word - 'price', 'menu', 'timings'.
Welcome message
Greet a customer automatically the first time they message your number.
Fallback reply
When nothing else matches, a fallback goes out so no message sits unanswered.
Text, images or documents
A rule can reply with text, an image, a PDF or an approved template.
Follow-ups on a date
Put a follow-up on a lead with a template and a time, and it sends on its own.
Pair it with the AI chatbot
Use rules for the fixed answers and the AI chatbot for open questions about your business.
Automate WhatsApp replies in a few minutes.
