WhatsApp Business bot

A WhatsApp Business bot is automation on a Business account — not a personal chat and not a bulk blaster. It answers inbound WhatsApp messages, qualifies the lead, and can book the next step while your team is with clients.

WhatsApp Business bot vs greeting messages

The WhatsApp Business app can send a away message and labeled quick replies. That is not a bot that understands “can you do highlights Saturday at 3?” A production WhatsApp Business bot uses approved knowledge, asks follow-ups, and either books or hands off. See WhatsApp AI chatbot for OpenTulpa’s version of that workflow.

What a WhatsApp Business bot should do

  • Run on WhatsApp Business / Business Platform, not a personal profile
  • Reply inside the customer service window to inbound chats
  • Answer services, hours, and pricing with approved language
  • Book against live calendar availability when connected
  • Keep a human owner for exceptions and number quality
