What It Is

WhatsApp Automation That Works While You Don't

WhatsApp Business automation connects your WhatsApp number to intelligent workflows that run automatically. When a lead messages you at 11pm on a Sunday, your business responds in seconds: asking the right questions, capturing their details, booking an appointment or sending a quote, all before you've even seen the notification.

We build these automations using the WhatsApp Business API combined with platforms like Make.com, and integrate them directly into your CRM, booking system or payment platform. Everything is tailored to your specific business, your language and your customer journey.

  • Dynamic payment link generation and sending

How It Works

What Happens When a Lead Messages You

Here's an example of how a WhatsApp lead automation runs from the moment a potential client makes contact, without any manual involvement from your team.

1
Lead sends a WhatsApp message
Could be from a Facebook ad, website button, Google My Business listing or direct. Doesn't matter what time of day.
2
Instant automated response, within seconds
A personalised message goes back immediately. Your brand, your tone, your language. No canned "we'll get back to you" message.
3
Chatbot qualifies the lead
Asks the right questions, such as service needed, location, budget and timeline, and captures the answers automatically.
4
Lead is routed and your CRM is updated
The contact and their details are added to your CRM, tagged correctly and assigned to the right team member.
5
Booking, quote or payment link is sent
Depending on your workflow, an appointment is booked, a quote is sent or a payment link is generated and delivered.
6
Follow up sequence begins automatically
Reminders, check ins and nurture messages go out at the right times. No one falls through the cracks.

Everything We Build Into Your WhatsApp Automation

Every inbound message gets an immediate, on brand reply, regardless of time, day or volume.

Payment Link Automation

Dynamic payment links generated and sent via WhatsApp at the right moment in the sales process, no manual steps needed.

FAQ

Common Questions About WhatsApp Automation

For full automation, such as instant responses, chatbots and CRM integration, yes, the WhatsApp Business API is required. It's different from the free WhatsApp Business app. We handle the API setup and onboarding as part of the engagement, so you don't need to worry about the technical side.

Absolutely. Automation handles the first response, qualification and routing, but at any point a human can take over the conversation. Most of our setups include a handoff trigger so when a conversation needs personal attention, it lands in front of the right person immediately.

Yes, when built correctly. We ensure all automations are built with POPIA compliance in mind, including opt in consent for broadcast messages, proper data handling and the ability for contacts to opt out. We don't build automation that sends unsolicited messages to people who haven't engaged with your business first.

A basic lead response and qualification bot typically takes 1 to 2 weeks from kickoff to live. More complex automations with CRM integration, payment links and multi step sequences take 2 to 4 weeks. The timeline depends on the complexity of your workflows and how quickly we can get access to your existing tools.

We integrate with most popular CRMs including HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Monday.com, Airtable and Google Sheets. For payments, we work with PayFast, Peach Payments, Yoco and others. If you use a specific tool, ask us, chances are we can connect it.

Pricing depends on the scope of your automation: number of flows, integrations, and whether we're setting up the WhatsApp Business API from scratch. The best starting point is a free audit where we scope exactly what you need and give you a clear quote. There are no hidden platform fees from our side, most ongoing costs are low monthly platform subscriptions you hold directly.
