Finding its genesis in Hazaribagh, [Sujeet Mehta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sujeetkumarmehta/?originalSubdomain=in)(Founder) decided to move to Bangalore with his two reliable developers - Animesh and Mayank.  WhatsTool was created with the idea to help medium and large business grow their business on WhatsApp. Keeping this in mind the team expanded to the Silicon Valley of India. Three years later - WhatsTool Business has found a strong base of reliable customers and a growing team strength of 20 in Bengaluru and Hazaribagh (14 working in Bengaluru and the rest supporting the team from Hazaribaugh). Team shares on the journey -------------------------- Enough for the current team to celebrate the day. Apart from sharing the [anniversary update](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7158767331387568128/?actorCompanyId=79645276) on social media, we also decided to speak to the [first three employees](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7158788410818588673) - Ashish, Mayank and Madhushree. **Ashish** - who is the first employee and the brain behind our Android and IOS app had to share this: > “WhatsTool holds a special place in my heart as I proudly stand as its first employee, making it my inaugural professional venture. It’s a unique experience to celebrate both my work and company anniversaries on the same day, adding an extra layer of significance to the occasion. > > Throughout my journey at WhatsTool, I’ve garnered invaluable experiences and enhanced my skills significantly.

By 11 in the morning, everyone gathered at [Area 83](https://www.area83.in/) to have an eventful and adventurous day.  The day started with an okay welcome drink only to be followed by some adventure sports such as a Giant Swing from a height of 40 feet, boat riding, taking a break in the pool, and aiming our teammates with bows and not-so-dangerous arrows. How can I forget the game of cricket and our failed attempt at bubble soccer. After the evening we were almost exhausted and called it a day around 6. Leaving the resort with enough good memories and a bagful of pictures to brag it on Instagram 🙂 ![WhatsTool Area83](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/dsc0430-1707199099996-compressed.JPG) As we step into the new year with sizeable goals we would like to thank everyone who has supported us so far in this journey.

Thanks to the 75th Republic Day we were fortunate to have a long weekend. At [WhatsTool Business](https://whatstool.business/) we did the same. We decorated and celebrated the 74th Republic Day on Thursday. From Friday onwards most of us were planning for a mini vacation or catching up on the much-required sleep or the missed out web shows. Joy of Democracy ---------------- For the 74th Republic Day one of the selected themes was “India- Mother of Democracy”.  Taking inspiration from the theme we decided to focus on a similar communication under the name of “Joy of Democracy” and the power of being the largest democracy in the world. To communicate the theme we decided to create a simple 10-second video and a static or visual. The brief showcased a strong emotion of being an independent Indian and celebrating the event.  On the visual side, we decided to showcase the different diverse smiling people with an audio related to Republic Day.  The script: _“On this Republic Day. Let's be Indian first. Than anything else.”_ ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/image-cp-1706531678779-compressed.jpeg) ​We decided to run the campaign starting on the 24th and ending on the 26th of January. The brand creatives were shared on our social media pages such as [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/whatstoolbusiness/videos/1075360390413523/), [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/C2jmdJGOAb7/) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7156519822086860800/). We also decided to have a lead generation campaign on Meta(Facebook and Instagram) to acquire new users.  The central idea was to communicate that if businesses are looking to do marketing on WhatsApp then WhatsTool Business is the ideal tool.  **“Be it collecting new leads,**  **Communicating with existing customers** **and growing sales**  **then WhatsTool Business is the platform for you.”** Created two new sets of new audiences(30 plus Indians) and collected leads via the Meta Lead Form; keeping the broad targeting of Meta in mind. For the media campaign, we tweaked the copy a bit and went with one video and 2 statics. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/image-cp-1706531571466-compressed.jpeg) The media campaign marketing results have been satisfactory. We were able to collect our targeted leads at a fairly reasonable cost. On the product side, we decided to create [5 templates](https://tools.whatstool.business/whatsapp-message-templates?_gl=1*thrpyk*_ga*NjMyNzM4MTg5LjE3MDUzOTE2NTQ.*_ga_S91DSKB7F7*MTcwNjUyMzczMS4yOC4wLjE3MDY1MjM3MzEuMC4wLjA.) for our customers. Who can use these templates, wish their users on WhatsApp, and even have sales-related creatives. If you are a new user then you will have to create an account to use the feature. Office Celebrations ------------------- Our Bangalore office wore a traditional look on the 25th. We even decorated our office in the colours of our National Flag.  After that, we made sure to click some pictures and the day also happened to be the birthday of one of our colleagues - Shashikiran Shetty(Product Manager).  So the evening saw us switching off our laptops a bit early, cutting cake and walking to the nearest restaurant for a birthday treat. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/whatsapp-image-2024-01-29-at-18-1706532701104-compressed.jpg) We hope that you also had a beautiful weekend and Republic Day.

Moreover, chatbots enable 24/7 customer support, ensuring constant availability and responsiveness. As digital marketing continues to evolve, the integration of chatbots plays a pivotal role in automating tasks, optimizing customer interactions, and fostering a more dynamic and efficient marketing ecosystem. Understanding Chatbots ---------------------- A [chatbot](https://whatstool.business/chatbots) is a computer program designed to simulate conversation with users, typically through text-based or voice-based interactions. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies, chatbots can understand and respond to user queries in a conversational manner. They are deployed across various digital platforms, such as websites, messaging apps, and social media, to provide information, answer questions, and perform specific tasks. Chatbots come in different forms, ranging from rule-based systems that follow predefined scripts to more advanced models capable of learning from user interactions and adapting their responses over time. The primary goal of chatbots is to enhance user engagement, automate repetitive tasks, and improve overall user experiences across a wide range of applications, from customer support to marketing and beyond. ### **There are two primary types of chatbots:** The two primary types of chatbots are rule-based (scripted) chatbots and AI-powered (machine learning) chatbots. 1. **Rule-based chatbots** follow predefined sets of rules and scripts to respond to user inputs. They are programmed with specific decision trees or conditional statements, allowing them to address common queries and execute predefined actions. While effective for straightforward interactions, rule-based chatbots may struggle with more complex or unpredictable user inputs. 2. **AI-powered chatbots** leverage machine learning algorithms and natural language processing (NLP) to understand and respond to user queries in a more dynamic and context-aware manner. These chatbots can learn from user interactions, improving their performance over time by adapting to new patterns and understanding user preferences. AI-powered chatbots are more versatile and suitable for handling a broader range of conversations, making them particularly effective in scenarios where user inputs are diverse and context-dependent. In context of Marketing, Rule-based chatbots excel in handling routine queries and providing basic information, making them suitable for FAQs and straightforward customer interactions in marketing. AI-powered chatbots, utilizing machine learning, offer dynamic and personalized engagement, contributing to tasks like lead generation, tailored product recommendations, and adaptive customer interactions for a more sophisticated marketing strategy. **The Rise of Chatbot Marketing** --------------------------------- Several factors contribute to the surge in chatbot adoption in marketing: 1. **Consumer Expectations:** Consumers increasingly prefer instant and convenient interactions. Chatbots fulfill this expectation by providing immediate responses and 24/7 availability, enhancing customer satisfaction. 2. **Advancements in AI and NLP:** Ongoing advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) have empowered chatbots to understand and respond to user queries more intelligently, making them more effective in delivering personalized and context-aware experiences. 3. **Cost Savings:** Automation through chatbots results in significant cost savings for businesses. By reducing the need for a large customer support team to handle routine queries, companies can allocate resources more efficiently and reduce operational expenses. 4. **Increased Messaging App Usage:** The widespread use of messaging apps provides a natural platform for chatbots. Businesses leverage this trend by integrating chatbots into messaging apps, meeting users where they already spend a significant portion of their digital time. 5. **Personalization Trends:** Personalized experiences are crucial in modern marketing. AI-powered chatbots analyze user data to offer personalized recommendations, promotions, and content, aligning with the demand for tailored interactions. 6. **Scalability:** Chatbots excel in handling a large volume of simultaneous conversations. This scalability is particularly valuable for businesses experiencing rapid growth or dealing with a high volume of customer interactions. 7. **Data-Driven Decision-Making:** Chatbots generate valuable data through user interactions. This data can be analyzed to gain insights into customer behavior, preferences, and trends, empowering businesses to make data-driven decisions and refine their marketing strategies. 8. **Competitive Edge:** As more businesses adopt chatbots, having an efficient and responsive chatbot becomes a competitive differentiator. Companies are leveraging chatbots to enhance their customer service, engagement, and overall brand perception. 9. **Technological Accessibility:** The increasing accessibility of chatbot development tools and platforms allows businesses of varying sizes to adopt and implement chatbots without extensive technical expertise. This accessibility has democratized the use of chatbots across industries. In summary, the surge in chatbot adoption is driven by a combination of evolving consumer expectations, technological advancements, operational benefits, cost savings, increased messaging app usage, personalization trends, scalability, data-driven decision-making, and the desire for a competitive edge in the market. As these factors continue to evolve, chatbots are likely to play an increasingly integral role in modern marketing strategies. **Why Chatbots are Essential in Marketing?** ----------------------------------------------- Chatbots offer a huge number of advantages in marketing, changing how organizations communicate with their customers.

A company's customer service is often judged on factors such as responsiveness, communication skills, issue resolution, empathy, accessibility, knowledgeability, and the overall customer experience. Positive perceptions are influenced by prompt and effective problem-solving, clear and empathetic communication, and a sense of being valued. On the contrary, negative experiences, such as slow response times, unhelpful communication, or unresolved issues, can lead to dissatisfaction and may impact the customer's overall impression of the company. Ultimately, customers appreciate a customer service team that is proactive, knowledgeable, and committed to providing a seamless and positive experience throughout their interaction with the brand. Relation between customer service and business growth -------------------------------------------------------- ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/untitled-1709746011532-compressed.jpeg) Customers' perceptions of a company's customer service significantly impact its growth trajectory. Positive customer service experiences build trust, enhance brand loyalty, and contribute to positive word-of-mouth recommendations. Satisfied customers are more likely to become repeat buyers and advocates for the brand, which can lead to increased customer retention and acquisition. On the other hand, negative customer service experiences can result in customer churn, damage the company's reputation, and lead to lost business opportunities. In today's interconnected world, where customer reviews and feedback spread rapidly through social media and online platforms, delivering exceptional customer service is not only a means of retaining existing customers but also a crucial element in attracting new ones. Companies that prioritize and consistently improve their customer service strategies are more likely to foster long-term customer relationships and, consequently, experience sustained growth in their market share and profitability. **Ways to improve eCommerce customer service** ---------------------------------------------- Customers are the lifeblood of a company, driving revenue and sustaining its existence. Meeting customer needs fosters loyalty, positive word-of-mouth, and long-term success ### Here are 8 effective tips that can significantly improve your customer service experience: 1. **Live Chat** ​ ​Live chat can significantly enhance customer service by providing real-time, convenient, and personalized support to users. It allows businesses to engage with customers instantly, addressing their queries or concerns promptly.

Overall, _integrating live chat into customer service strategies can create a more responsive, user-friendly, and customer-centric support experience, ultimately fostering stronger relationships between businesses and their customers_. 2. **Social Media** ​ There are lots of users use social media to explore brand-related information and brands use it to write a brand story. And that’s the place where customer service is of utmost importance. Social media can significantly enhance eCommerce customer service by providing a dynamic and direct channel for communication between businesses and customers. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram allow companies to address customer inquiries, concerns, and feedback in real-time, fostering quick and personalized interactions. Through social media, businesses can showcase products, promotions, and updates, keeping customers engaged and informed. Additionally, leveraging social listening tools enables companies to proactively identify and resolve issues, demonstrating a commitment to customer satisfaction. By actively participating in social media conversations, eCommerce businesses can build a stronger brand presence, cultivate customer loyalty, and gain valuable insights to continually improve their products and services. 3. ​**Personalized experiences**​ Personalized service in eCommerce is a multifaceted approach that involves leveraging customer data to tailor every aspect of the shopping experience, addressing individual preferences and needs. By employing advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms, eCommerce platforms can analyze customer behavior, purchase history, and preferences to provide highly targeted product recommendations. These platforms can also send personalized and timely communication, such as email campaigns featuring exclusive offers or discounts on items likely to appeal to specific customers. Furthermore, website personalization through features like customized landing pages and dynamic content ensures that each user encounters a tailored interface. This level of personalization not only streamlines the shopping process but also creates a sense of individualized attention, fostering customer loyalty. In essence, personalized service in eCommerce goes beyond mere customization, aiming to anticipate and fulfill the unique desires of each customer, ultimately leading to a more satisfying and engaging online shopping experience. 4. ​**Deploy an omnichannel strategy **Deploying an omnichannel strategy can significantly enhance the customer experience by providing a seamless and integrated journey across various touchpoints. An omnichannel approach ensures consistency and continuity in customer interactions, regardless of whether customers engage with the business through online platforms, mobile apps, social media, physical stores, or customer support channels. By breaking down silos between different channels, customers can transition effortlessly between them, enjoying a cohesive and personalized experience. For example, an omnichannel strategy enables customers to start their purchase online, continue it on a mobile device, and finalize it in a physical store, with their preferences and information seamlessly transferred. This level of integration not only increases convenience but also allows businesses to gather comprehensive data on customer behavior, enabling more personalized and targeted engagement. Ultimately, deploying an omnichannel strategy demonstrates a commitment to meeting customers wherever they are, fostering loyalty, and improving overall satisfaction by providing a unified and smooth experience across all touchpoints, 5. ​**Be wary of your response time **Being wary of your response time is crucial in enhancing the customer service experience. Prompt and timely responses convey a sense of attentiveness and value to the customer. In an era where instant communication is the norm, delays can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. Quick responses not only address customer inquiries or issues promptly but also contribute to a positive perception of your brand. This is particularly vital in eCommerce, where customers may have questions about products, orders, or general inquiries. Implementing efficient communication channels, automated responses, and setting clear expectations regarding response times can significantly improve the overall customer service experience, fostering trust and loyalty. Customers are more likely to feel supported and valued when they perceive a commitment to timely and responsive interactions, contributing to a positive and lasting impression of your eCommerce business. 6. ​**Give priority to transparency **Prioritizing transparency in your business operations can significantly enhance the overall customer experience. When customers feel informed and have a clear understanding of your processes, policies, and products, it builds trust and credibility. Transparency helps set realistic expectations, reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings or dissatisfaction. In eCommerce, being transparent about product details, pricing, shipping times, and return policies creates a more positive and open relationship with customers. Providing clear and honest communication, especially in the event of issues or delays, shows accountability and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Transparent practices also contribute to brand loyalty, as customers appreciate businesses that are upfront and honest. By giving priority to transparency, you create a more open and trustworthy environment, ultimately improving the customer experience and fostering long-term relationships with your customers. 7. **Track customer satisfaction score **Tracking customer satisfaction scores (CSAT) is a valuable practice that can significantly improve the overall customer experience. CSAT measurements allow businesses to gauge customer satisfaction levels through feedback on specific interactions, purchases, or overall experiences. By systematically monitoring these scores, companies can identify patterns, trends, and areas for improvement. Regularly assessing CSAT scores provides valuable insights into customer preferences and pain points, enabling businesses to make informed decisions about product offerings, service enhancements, or process optimizations. It also allows for the prompt identification and resolution of issues, demonstrating a commitment to customer-centricity. Additionally, tracking CSAT scores helps in benchmarking performance over time, setting goals for improvement, and aligning strategies with customer expectations. The insights derived from CSAT metrics empower businesses to proactively enhance their offerings and services, leading to an overall improved customer experience. 8. ​ **Video Tutorials**Video tutorials can significantly enhance the customer experience by providing visually engaging and accessible content that effectively communicates product features, usage instructions, and troubleshooting tips. They offer a dynamic way for users to grasp information, catering to different learning preferences and ensuring clarity in comprehension. Video tutorials empower customers to self-educate at their own pace, reducing reliance on customer support for basic queries and facilitating quicker issue resolution. The convenience, versatility, and shareability of video content contribute to an improved onboarding process, aiding new users in getting started swiftly.

Begin by investing in comprehensive training for your support team, ensuring they possess the skills and knowledge needed to handle a diverse range of customer inquiries. Implement a multi-channel approach, integrating live chat, email, phone, and social media platforms to cater to diverse customer preferences and enhance accessibility. Prioritize quick response times and resolution efficiency to demonstrate a commitment to customer satisfaction. Leverage customer data and feedback to identify pain points and proactively address issues before they escalate.

Regularly gather insights from customer interactions to inform continuous improvement strategies and foster a customer-centric culture within your organization. By treating robust customer support as a strategic cornerstone, businesses can not only resolve issues effectively but also build trust, enhance brand loyalty, and ultimately gain a competitive edge in the market. **The 3 Types of Customer Loyalty** ----------------------------------- ### **Customer loyalty is often conceptualized in three main types, reflecting different dimensions of customer commitment and engagement:** 1. **Behavioral Loyalty:** Behavioral loyalty is based on the customer's repeat purchasing behavior. In this type of loyalty, customers consistently choose a particular brand or product over time. This loyalty is transactional and observable through customer actions, such as repeat purchases or a regular frequency of engagement. Behavioral loyalty is often influenced by factors like convenience, habit, or satisfaction with the product or service. While customers may not necessarily have a strong emotional connection, they exhibit loyalty through their consistent buying patterns. 2. **Emotional Loyalty:** Emotional loyalty is characterized by the customer's emotional connection and positive feelings toward a brand. This type of loyalty goes beyond mere transactions and is rooted in the customer's experiences, perceptions, and emotional attachment to the brand. Customers with emotional loyalty are not only satisfied with the product or service but also feel a sense of trust, belonging, and alignment with the brand's values. They are more forgiving of occasional shortcomings and are likely to become brand advocates, actively recommending the brand to others. 3. **Cognitive Loyalty:** Cognitive loyalty is based on the customer's rational evaluation of a brand. In this type of loyalty, customers make a conscious, reasoned decision to remain loyal to a brand. This decision is often influenced by perceived product quality, brand reputation, unique features, or a positive perception of the overall brand. Customers with cognitive loyalty may actively compare alternatives in the market but consistently choose a particular brand based on their logical assessment of its merits. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_clq3qw4l7937821wr3u82k7got/images/photo-1521790797524-b2497295b8a0-1704465086853-compressed.webp) Businesses aim to understand and leverage these three types of customer loyalty to create comprehensive strategies that address both emotional and practical aspects of customer commitment. While behavioral loyalty focuses on encouraging repeat transactions, emotional loyalty emphasizes building strong customer relationships, and cognitive loyalty involves strategic brand positioning and differentiation to appeal to customers' rational decision-making. A well-rounded approach considers and nurtures all three types of loyalty, recognizing the multifaceted nature of customer relationships in today's dynamic marketplace. **Differentiating your business with Customer Support** ------------------------------------------------------- Differentiating your business through customer support based on the three types of customer loyalty involves tailoring your approach to meet the diverse needs of customers. Here's a guide for each type: 1. **Behavioral Loyalty:** * **Streamlined Transactions:** For customers exhibiting behavioral loyalty, focus on providing efficient and streamlined transactional experiences. Optimize your customer support for quick issue resolution, easy order processes, and seamless transactions to encourage repeat business. * **Customized Recommendations:** Leverage data from past transactions to offer personalized product recommendations, demonstrating that you understand their preferences and are committed to enhancing their purchasing experience. 2. **Emotional Loyalty:** * **Empathetic Communication:** Build emotional loyalty by fostering empathetic and personalized communication in customer support interactions. Train your support team to connect with customers on a deeper level, expressing understanding and care for their concerns. * **Surprise and Delight:** Implement surprise elements in your customer support, such as unexpected discounts, personalized thank-you note, or exclusive access to events. These gestures go beyond meeting expectations and create positive emotional connections. 3. **Cognitive Loyalty:** * **Expert Consultation:** Cater to customers driven by cognitive loyalty by offering expert consultation services. Ensure that your customer support team is knowledgeable about your products or services, providing insightful information and guidance to help customers make informed decisions. * **Educational Resources:** Provide educational resources and content that align with the rational decision-making process. This can include in-depth product guides, comparison charts, and informative articles that support customers in their logical evaluations. In all cases: * **Consistent Brand Experience:** Maintain a consistent brand experience across all customer support interactions. Whether addressing behavioral, emotional, or cognitive loyalty, consistency reinforces your brand identity and strengthens customer recognition. * **Feedback Integration:** Actively seek customer feedback to understand their evolving needs and perceptions. Use this feedback to continuously refine and improve your customer support strategies, ensuring alignment with the expectations of each loyalty type. * **Recognition and Rewards:** Acknowledge and reward customer loyalty across all three types. Implement loyalty programs that recognize both transactional and emotional contributions, creating a comprehensive approach to customer appreciation. By tailoring your customer support strategies to the specific characteristics of each type of customer loyalty, you can create a more nuanced and effective differentiation strategy that resonates with diverse customer segments. --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

Whether you're hoping to win back prone to-lose clients or intending to improve commitment through customized outreach, this thorough aide offers bits of knowledge and significant stages to raise your WhatsApp marketing game. What is Segmentation in WhatsApp Marketing? ------------------------------------------- ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_clq3qw4l7937821wr3u82k7got/images/image-1-1704457855506-compressed.png) Segmentation in [WhatsApp Marketing](https://blog.whatstool.business/how-to-use-whatsapp-as-a-marketing-tool-cln4iucwc160841nn1mb0pyjyx/) refers to the practice of dividing a target audience into distinct groups based on specific criteria such as demographics, behavior, or preferences. This strategy allows marketers to tailor their messages and content to different segments, ensuring a more personalized and relevant communication approach. In the context of WhatsApp, segmentation can involve categorizing users based on factors like location, age, buying history, or engagement level. By understanding the unique characteristics and needs of each segment, businesses can create more targeted and effective marketing campaigns, leading to higher engagement, improved customer satisfaction, and ultimately, increased conversion rates. Additionally, segmentation enables marketers to send messages at optimal times, ensuring that their content reaches the right audience when they are most likely to be receptive. Overall, segmentation plays a crucial role in maximizing the impact of WhatsApp marketing efforts and building stronger connections with customers. Why is Segmentation Required? ----------------------------- Segmentation is crucial in targeting customers on WhatsApp or any other platform because it allows marketers to tailor their messages to specific groups with shared characteristics, preferences, and behaviors. Here are some key reasons why segmentation is required: 1. **Relevance:** Segmentation ensures that marketing messages are relevant to the recipients. By understanding the unique needs and interests of different segments, marketers can create content that resonates with each group, increasing the likelihood of engagement. 2. **Personalization:** Customers today expect personalized experiences. Segmentation enables marketers to customize their communication, addressing individuals based on their demographics, location, past interactions, or purchasing history. This personal touch fosters a stronger connection between the brand and the customer. 3. **Improved Targeting:** Not all customers have the same needs or respond to the same messaging. Segmentation allows marketers to identify high-potential target groups and allocate resources more efficiently. This leads to a higher return on investment as marketing efforts are focused on those most likely to convert. 4. **Optimized Timing:** Different segments may be active on WhatsApp at different times. Understanding the behaviors and preferences of each segment helps marketers schedule their messages for optimal impact, ensuring that the content reaches users when they are most receptive. 5. **Enhanced Customer Experience:** Segmentation contributes to a better overall customer experience by delivering content that is more aligned with individual preferences. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction, loyalty, and a positive brand perception. 6. **Reduced Marketing Fatigue:** Sending generic messages to an entire audience can lead to marketing fatigue, where customers become disinterested or annoyed. Segmentation helps prevent this by tailoring content to specific segments, preventing overexposure and irritation. 7. **Data-Driven Decision-Making:** Segmenting customers allows marketers to analyze data more effectively. By evaluating the performance of campaigns within each segment, marketers can make informed decisions on refining strategies for better results. In brief, segmentation is essential for effective customer targeting as it enables marketers to deliver personalized, relevant messages, leading to higher engagement, improved customer satisfaction, and ultimately, greater success in their marketing efforts on WhatsApp or any other platform. Strategies for Effective Use of Segmentation -------------------------------------------- Some strategies for the effective use of segmentation to target customers: 1. **Define Clear Segmentation Criteria:** Clearly define the criteria for segmentation based on relevant factors such as demographics, behavior, location, or purchasing history. Ensure that the chosen criteria align with your business goals and provide meaningful distinctions among customer groups. 2. **Collect and Analyze Data:** Gather comprehensive data on your customers to inform your segmentation strategy. Leverage customer relationship management (CRM) systems, analytics tools, and other data sources to collect and analyze relevant information. Regularly update this data to keep your segmentation accurate and up to date. 3. **Create Detailed Customer Personas:** Develop detailed customer personas for each segment, outlining their characteristics, preferences, and behaviors. This helps humanize the target audience, making it easier to craft personalized and resonant messages for each group. 4. **Tailor Content and Messaging:** Customize your marketing content and messaging for each segment. This may include using different language, imagery, or promotional offers that specifically appeal to the unique needs and interests of each group. Ensure that your communication is relevant and valuable to each segment. 5. **Utilize Automation Tools:** Leverage marketing automation tools like **[WhatsTool Business](https://app.whatstool.business/)** which allows you to streamline the process of sending targeted messages to different segments. Automation can help schedule messages at optimal times, track customer interactions, and ensure consistent and timely communication across various segments. 6. **Implement A/B Testing:** Test different variations of your messages within each segment through A/B testing. This allows you to identify which content resonates best with specific groups, enabling you to refine your approach and improve the effectiveness of future campaigns. 7. **Consider Lifecycle Stages:** Take into account where customers are in their lifecycle with your brand. Implement segmentation strategies that consider factors such as new customers, loyal customers, or those at risk of churn. Tailor your messaging to address the unique needs of customers at each stage. 8. **Monitor and Iterate:** Regularly monitor the performance of your segmentation strategy. Analyze key metrics such as engagement rates, conversion rates, and customer satisfaction. Use this data to iterate and refine your segmentation strategy over time, ensuring it remains effective and aligned with evolving customer behaviors. 9. **Combine Segmentation Criteria:** Combine multiple segmentation criteria to create more refined and targeted segments. For example, combining demographic information with behavioral data can result in segments with highly specific characteristics, allowing for even more personalized marketing efforts. 10. **Adapt to Changes:** Customer behaviors and preferences evolve over time. Be adaptable and ready to adjust your segmentation strategy as needed. Regularly reassess your segmentation criteria to ensure they continue to align with the changing landscape of your customer base. By implementing these strategies, businesses can leverage segmentation to its fullest potential. How to Segment Your Customers Using WhatsTool Business? ------------------------------------------------------- ### WhatsTool Business provides you three ways to effectively segment your customers on the basis of: **1\. Status Based ** ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/screenshot-2024-01-05-183403-1709757783263-compressed.png) Segmentation based on the status of customer issues provides a structured approach to addressing and resolving concerns. By categorizing customer issues into segments such as "**Issue Pending**," "**Issue Solved**," and "**Open Issue**," businesses can allocate resources effectively. New complaints might require immediate attention and personalized responses, ongoing problems may necessitate continuous communication and updates, while resolved matters could benefit from follow-up to ensure customer satisfaction. This segmentation approach enables a targeted and streamlined customer support strategy, ensuring that the level of attention and resources dedicated to each segment aligns with the urgency and nature of the issue. It facilitates a more organized and efficient resolution process, leading to improved customer satisfaction and retention. **2\. Label Based** ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/screenshot-2024-01-05-183609-1709757552577-compressed.png) Segmentation using the labels method is advantageous for effectively targeting potential buyers and optimizing retargeting efforts. By assigning specific labels or tags based on behaviors, preferences, and engagement, businesses can identify and isolate segments that exhibit high potential for conversion. Labels such as "**active prospects**," "**cart abandoners**," or "**interested in promotions**" enable precise targeting, allowing marketers to tailor retargeting strategies to the specific needs and characteristics of each segment. This approach enhances the relevance of retargeting messages, increasing the likelihood of capturing the attention of potential buyers. Additionally, the labels method aids in resource efficiency by directing retargeting efforts towards segments with the greatest likelihood of conversion, ultimately boosting sales and improving the overall effectiveness of marketing campaigns. **3\. Custom Field Based ** ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/screenshot-2024-01-05-185308-1709757723564-compressed.png) Segmentation using the custom field method proves invaluable for storing and organizing detailed customer information for future reference or specific requirements. By utilizing custom fields to capture unique data points such as customer preferences, purchase history, or specific interactions, businesses can create a comprehensive database tailored to their needs. This method ensures that customer details are easily accessible and can be segmented based on various criteria, streamlining targeted communication or personalized marketing efforts. Whether it's for launching tailored promotions, addressing specific customer needs, or conducting targeted surveys, the custom field method provides a structured and organized approach to managing customer data, enhancing customer relationships, and facilitating more informed decision-making based on individualized insights. ​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

Do's for promoting your business on WhatsApp: --------------------------------------------- 1. **Segment Your Audience: **Understand your audience and create targeted promotional campaigns. Segment your user base based on demographics, preferences, or behavior to deliver more personalized and relevant messages. This can significantly improve engagement. 2. **Provide Clear Opt-In and Opt-Out Processes: **Clearly communicate how users can opt in to receive messages and, equally important, how they can opt out if they no longer wish to receive them. This transparency builds trust with your audience. 3. **Utilize the WhatsApp Business API for Scale: ** If your business engages in medium to large-scale communication, consider using the WhatsApp Business API platform like **WhatsTool Business**. This API is designed for more extensive messaging capabilities, allowing you to send promotional and transactional messages to a broader audience. 4. **Encourage Two-Way Communication: **Use WhatsApp not just as a broadcast platform but as a tool for customer engagement. Encourage users to ask questions, provide feedback, or initiate discussions. Respond promptly and professionally to build a connection with your audience. 5. **Keep Messages Concise and Relevant: **WhatsApp is designed for quick and direct communication. Craft your promotional messages to be short, clear, and directly related to the user's interests. Avoid unnecessary information that may lead to disengagement. 6. **Optimize for Mobile Experience: **Given that WhatsApp is primarily a mobile messaging platform, ensure that your promotional content is mobile-friendly. Use concise language, clear visuals, and format your messages to be easily readable on various mobile devices. 7. **Provide Value in Your Messages: **Users are more likely to engage with your business if they find value in your messages. Whether it's exclusive promotions, useful information, or entertaining content, make sure your messages provide something meaningful to the user. 8. **Promote Interactive Content: **Encourage users to participate in polls, surveys, or contests through WhatsApp. Interactive content not only boosts engagement but also helps you gather valuable insights about your audience. 9. **Monitor and Analyze Performance: **Regularly track the performance of your WhatsApp promotional campaigns. Analyze metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and user engagement. Use this data to refine your strategies and improve future campaigns. Don'ts when it comes to promoting your business on WhatsApp: ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. **Avoid Sending Unsolicited Messages:**  Sending messages to users who have not explicitly opted in can be considered spammy. Always obtain permission before sending promotional content to avoid irritating users and potential legal consequences. 2. **Don't Mislead or Deceive Users:** Honesty is crucial. Misleading users with false information or deceptive promotions can harm your brand reputation. Always provide accurate and transparent information about your products or services. 3. **Respect User Privacy:** Be mindful of privacy regulations and respect users' personal information. Avoid requesting unnecessary personal details and ensure that your data handling practices comply with privacy laws. 4. **Don't Ignore Opt-Out Requests:** If a user decides to opt out of receiving messages, promptly respect their decision. Continuing to send messages after opt-out requests can lead to frustration and may violate privacy regulations. 5. **Avoid Overwhelming Users with Messages:** Sending too many messages in a short period or bombarding users with excessive content can be annoying. Respect users' time and attention and maintain a balanced frequency of communication. 6. **Don't Use Unregistered or Purchased Phone Numbers:** Ensure that you have proper authorization to contact individuals on WhatsApp. Using unregistered or purchased phone numbers for promotional purposes can violate WhatsApp's terms of service and lead to account suspension. 7. **Avoid Automation for Bulk Messaging without Approval:** Using automated tools for bulk messaging without proper approval from WhatsApp can lead to violations of their policies. Utilize the official WhatsApp Business API for large-scale and automated communication. 8. **Don't Share Sensitive Information Without Consent:** Avoid sharing sensitive personal information without explicit consent. Be cautious about the type of information you collect and share, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. 9. **Refrain from Sending Irrelevant Content:** Tailor your messages to the interests and preferences of your audience. Sending irrelevant content can lead to disengagement and users opting out of your promotional messages. 10. **Steer Clear of Aggressive Marketing Tactics:** Aggressive marketing tactics, such as using excessive capitalization, overusing exclamation marks, or employing pushy language, can be off-putting. Maintain a professional and respectful tone in your promotional messages. 11. **Don't Violate WhatsApp's Terms of Service:** Regularly review and adhere to WhatsApp's terms of service. Violating these terms can result in penalties, including account suspension. Stay informed about any updates or changes in WhatsApp's policies.

Additionally, WhatsApp groups are utilized to build communities and foster discussions, among customers with interests. This encourages the sharing of information. Enhances brand engagement. Why WhatsApp Marketing is well suited for Real Estate Business? ------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsApp Marketing is a natural fit for the real estate industry, as it offers a direct, personalized, and efficient means of communication. It empowers agents to showcase properties, deliver tailored information, and maintain ongoing relationships with clients. Its ease of use and accessibility make it a valuable resource for real estate professionals looking to connect with potential buyers and sellers in a competitive market, ultimately leading to more informed and satisfied clients. WhatsApp Marketing is exceptionally well-suited for the real estate business due to its unique capabilities for direct, personalized, and efficient communication. Let's delve into the details of why it's a perfect fit for this industry: 1. **Direct and Personalized Communication**: Real estate transactions often involve substantial investments and highly personal decisions. WhatsApp allows real estate professionals to engage with potential buyers and sellers on a one-on-one basis. This direct and personalized communication is invaluable in building trust and rapport, addressing specific needs, and nurturing long-term relationships with clients. 2. **Instant Property Updates:** Real estate agents can use WhatsApp to instantly share property listings, high-quality images, videos, and other multimedia content. When a new property becomes available or there are updates on existing listings, this immediate communication ensures that clients are informed promptly. 3. **Virtual Property Tours:** WhatsApp's multimedia capabilities are perfect for conducting virtual property tours. Agents can send video walkthroughs, images, or even host live video calls to give clients a real-time feel for a property, regardless of their physical location. This is especially advantageous for international or remote buyers. 4. **Personalized Engagement:** Real estate is a highly individualized field, and clients often have specific requirements and preferences. WhatsApp allows agents to address these needs with customized responses and information, enhancing the overall client experience. 5. **Group Communication:** WhatsApp group chats can be created for clients interested in specific areas, property types, or real estate developments. These groups foster a sense of community among potential buyers and sellers, encouraging discussions, sharing of insights, and potentially leading to word-of-mouth referrals. 6. **Customer Support:** Clients can reach out to real estate agents for information, guidance, or assistance at any time through WhatsApp. This instant support helps resolve queries and concerns promptly, further elevating the customer experience. 7. **Opt-In Model:** WhatsApp Marketing follows an opt-in model, where clients willingly share their contact information and agree to receive messages. This means that the audience is likely to be genuinely interested in real estate offerings, ensuring a higher-quality lead pool. 8. **Privacy and Security:** WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption ensures the privacy and security of conversations. Given that real estate transactions involve sensitive information, such as financial details and personal addresses, this encryption provides an added layer of protection, building trust with clients. 9. **Cost-Effective:** WhatsApp marketing is a cost-effective strategy, especially when compared to traditional advertising methods like print media or physical marketing materials. It reduces the need for print brochures and physical meetings, thus saving costs and reducing environmental impact. Best Strategies to promote Real Estate properties via WhatsApp Marketing --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Certainly, here are the topmost popular strategies to promote real estate properties via WhatsApp Marketing: * **High-Quality Visual Content:** Use images and videos to showcase properties effectively. High-resolution photos, virtual tours, and professionally produced videos provide potential buyers with a clear and enticing view of the properties. Visual content is a powerful tool for generating interest. * **Personalized Messages:** Send personalized messages to potential buyers. Address them by their names and provide information that aligns with their specific requirements and preferences. This personalized approach can greatly enhance the customer experience. * **Property Updates:** Regularly share new property listings, price reductions, or changes in property status with your subscribers. Use WhatsApp status updates for quick and easily accessible property notifications. This keeps your audience informed about your latest offerings. * **Virtual Property Tours:** Use WhatsApp to conduct virtual property tours or live video calls with potential buyers. This allows them to experience the property in real-time, even if they can't physically visit. Virtual tours provide a dynamic and immersive way to showcase properties. * **Group Chats for Community Building:** Create WhatsApp groups for clients interested in specific property types, locations, or price ranges. These groups facilitate group discussions and the sharing of insights, fostering a sense of community around your real estate offerings. Engaging with clients in a group setting can encourage word-of-mouth referrals and build trust among participants. ### WhatsApp for Real Estate: Best Practices So, there are two ways to get started with WhatsApp Marketing effectively: 1.

Leveraging this festive season through _WhatsApp campaigns can help businesses tap into a substantial market and boost sales_. Understanding the Indian festive Audience -------------------------------------------- The Indian festive audience for WhatsApp marketing is characterized by a diverse and culturally rich population with a deep attachment to traditions and celebrations.

Highlight the value of your products or services by linking them to the festivities, whether through special offers, limited-time promotions, or thoughtful gift suggestions. Inject a sense of urgency and exclusivity to drive action, and always express gratitude for the customer's support and loyalty during the festive season. ### Key Factors 1. **Know Your Audience:** Understand their cultural significance of the festival. 2. **Personalization:** Address recipients by name and use a friendly, conversational tone. 3. **Visual Appeal:** Incorporate festive images and emojis. 4. **Exclusive Offers:** Highlight limited time deals to create urgency. 5. **Conciseness:** Keep messages short and to the point. 6. **Mobile-Friendly:** Optimize for easy readability on mobile devices. 7. **Express Gratitude:** Show appreciation and goodwill to build a positive brand image. The significance of Media in Festive Campaigns ------------------------------------------------- Convincing visuals describe stories as well as summon feelings, particularly during celebrations.

This festive season skyrocket your business sales with WhatsTool Business via WhatsApp Broadcasting. What can Businesses expect from WhatsApp Broadcasting for 2023 Diwali Sales? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Businesses can expect significant benefits from Diwali sales using WhatsApp broadcasting. This powerful tool allows businesses to reach a wide and engaged audience during a peak shopping season. Through personalized Diwali-themed messages, businesses can promote special offers, discounts, and festive products, which can lead to a surge in sales. WhatsApp broadcasting enables efficient communication with opted-in customers, enhancing brand loyalty and customer engagement. Additionally, scheduling broadcasts ensures messages are delivered at the right times, maximizing their impact. With the ability to provide quick customer support and handle inquiries directly on the platform, businesses can offer a seamless shopping experience, fostering long-term customer relationships and, ultimately, increased revenue and growth during the Diwali season. What is WhatsApp Broadcast? ------------------------------ WhatsApp Broadcast is a unique feature that empowers users to send a single message to numerous recipients without the need for a traditional group chat, directly on WhatsApp. What sets it apart is that it maintains individual privacy; each recipient receives the message in a private, one-on-one conversation with the sender. This means that recipients cannot see who else received the message, nor can they interact with each other in the same chat. Replies to the broadcasted message are sent directly to the sender, allowing for discreet and efficient mass communication while preserving the confidentiality of recipient lists and individual conversations. Typically, WhatsApp Broadcast has a recipient limit, usually set at 256 contacts with WhatsApp Business App whereas with WhatsApp API it can go up to unlimited, making it suitable for disseminating announcements, updates, or information to a specific group without the complexities of managing a full-fledged group chat. How are Businesses using WhatsApp API to send broadcast effectively? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Businesses effectively utilize the WhatsApp API for broadcast messaging to boost Diwali sales in several strategic ways. First, they segment their customer base into groups based on preferences, demographics, and buying history. This allows for highly targeted broadcasts, ensuring that each message resonates with the right audience. During Diwali, businesses craft engaging, Diwali-themed content, such as exclusive discounts, festive greetings, and limited-time offers, and schedule these broadcasts to reach customers during peak shopping periods. They make use of WhatsApp's approved message templates to maintain compliance with the platform's policies, ensuring that their broadcasts are both effective and legally sound. Secondly, businesses leverage the immediacy and convenience of WhatsApp to provide exceptional customer service. They handle inquiries, provide product information, and address customer concerns directly through WhatsApp broadcasts, offering a seamless shopping experience. This not only boosts customer satisfaction but also encourages trust and loyalty, which can result in increased sales during the festive season. By monitoring and analyzing broadcast performance, businesses can adapt their strategies in real-time, optimizing content and timing to maximize Diwali sales and deliver a personalized shopping experience that resonates with their target audience. How to get started for Sending Diwali Campaigns? ------------------------------------------------ 1. **Segmentation and Personalization: **Segment your customer list based on demographics, preferences, and behavior. Personalize your broadcast messages to make them more relevant to each group, increasing the chances of engagement and conversion. 2. **Festive-Themed Content:** Create festive and visually appealing content that resonates with the holiday season. Incorporate Diwali themes, greetings, and visuals in your broadcasts to capture the festive spirit. 3. **Exclusive Offers and Discounts: **Offer exclusive deals and discounts to your WhatsApp subscribers. Highlight these promotions in your broadcasts to encourage immediate action from your audience. 4. **Clear Call-to-Action (CTA): **Include a clear and compelling CTA in your broadcast messages. Encourage recipients to take specific actions, such as making a purchase, visiting your store, or clicking a link. 5. **Use WhatsApp Templates:** Create message templates approved by WhatsApp to ensure compliance with their policies. Templates also provide a consistent and professional look to your messages. 6. **Interactive Elements:** Incorporate interactive elements like polls, quizzes, or contests in your broadcasts. Engaging content can boost user interaction and make your messages more memorable. 7. **Customer Support and Assistance:** Be prepared to provide customer support via WhatsApp during the festive season. Promptly answer inquiries, assist with purchases, and address any issues to enhance the overall shopping experience. 8. **Follow-Up Campaigns:** After the initial broadcast, send follow-up messages to remind customers of ongoing promotions, flash sales, or limited time offers. This helps maintain engagement and encourages repeat visits or purchases. 9. **Feedback Collection:** Encourage customers to share feedback on their shopping experiences.

While certain features could feel natural to WhatsApp chats, channel updates are a one-way communication instead of a conversation.

To get informed about new updates, you can turn on notifications for each channel. Channels are in the Updates tab, so you can decide to check out them when you want. You're not automatically subscribed to channels. You can decide/search before you follow, and you can unfollow a channel whenever you want.

Open WhatsApp, and go to the Updates tab. 2. Tap, and select "New channel". 3. Tap on Get Started and go on through the onscreen prompts. 4. Add a channel name to wrap up creating your channel. You can decide to change the name again whenever you want. 5. Customize your channel: You can decide to redo your channel currently by adding a description and symbol or hold on until some other time. 6. Add a channel description: Write a couple of words to assist possible followers with understanding what's going on with your channel. 7. Add a channel icon: Add a picture from your phone or the web to stick out. 8. Tap on Create channel, and you're finished creating a channel! Share updates/information with your followers! ---------------------------------------------- ### Utilize your channel to share things like: > Text > > Pictures > > Videos > > Stickers > > Links Followers won't see your WhatsApp profile name, picture, or your number. You're responsible for keeping the contents on your channel safely. ### **Gain New Followers** Individuals can track down your channel multiple ways. Outer connection: Offer a connection to your channel on different sites or applications.

[A Quick Guide] Author: Sujeet WhatsTool Published: 2023-09-25 Tags: whatstool business, whatstool business api URL: https://blog.whatstool.business/how-to-send-whatsapp-broadcast-a-quick-guide-clmz23q2a772271no0rklqtdl3/ ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/cover-photo-of-benefits-of-whatsapp-business-api-1695656708523-compressed.png) What is WhatsApp Broadcast? ------------------------------ WhatsApp Broadcast is a unique feature that empowers users to send a single message to numerous recipients without the need for a traditional group chat, directly on WhatsApp. What sets it apart is that it maintains individual privacy; each recipient receives the message in a private, one-on-one conversation with the sender. This means that recipients cannot see who else received the message, nor can they interact with each other in the same chat. Replies to the broadcasted message are sent directly to the sender, allowing for discreet and efficient mass communication while preserving the confidentiality of recipient lists and individual conversations. Typically, WhatsApp Broadcast has a recipient limit, usually set at 256 contacts with WhatsApp Business App whereas with WhatsApp API it can go up to unlimited, making it suitable for disseminating announcements, updates, or information to a specific group without the complexities of managing a full-fledged group chat. Different methods for sending Broadcast Messages on WhatsApp ------------------------------------------------------------ ### **1\. WhatsApp Business** **App: ​** WhatsApp Broadcast using the WhatsApp Business app enables businesses to efficiently communicate with their customers or clients. Businesses can create broadcast lists, selecting multiple recipients from their WhatsApp Business contact list, and send messages while maintaining individual privacy. Each recipient receives the message as a personal conversation with the business profile, preserving their privacy and allowing for one-on-one interaction. This feature is valuable for businesses looking to send updates, promotions, or important information to a specific group of contacts while utilizing the enhanced business features and tools available in the WhatsApp Business app to streamline customer communication. **Features Of WhatsApp Broadcast using WhatsApp Business App:** * **Individual Privacy:** WhatsApp Broadcast maintains the privacy of recipients, sending messages as separate one-on-one conversations. This ensures that recipients cannot see each other's contact information or responses. * **Efficient communication:** Businesses can send important updates, promotions, or information to a large group of contacts simultaneously (up to **256**), saving time and effort compared to sending individual messages. * **Rich Media Messaging:** WhatsApp Broadcast allows businesses to send messages with text, images, videos, documents, and links, enabling more engaging and informative content. * **Labels & Filters:** Labels and filters help businesses organize and categorize their contacts, making it easier to manage and target specific customer segments. **Limitations of WhatsApp Business App:** * **Recipient Limit:** WhatsApp Broadcast has a recipient limit, typically set at 256 contacts per broadcast list. If you need to reach a larger audience, you'll need to create multiple broadcast lists, which can be cumbersome to manage. * **One-Way Communication:** WhatsApp Broadcast is primarily designed for one-way communication. Recipients cannot see each other's responses or interact within the broadcast message. Replies go directly to the sender, making it less suitable for group discussions. * **No Opt-In or Subscription:** Unlike some messaging platforms, WhatsApp Broadcast does not offer an opt-in or subscription feature. This means that you cannot send broadcast messages to contacts who have not saved your business number, limiting your reach to existing contacts. * **Limited Automation:** While the WhatsApp Business App allows for some automation features like away messages and quick replies, it does not provide extensive automation capabilities. For advanced automation, you may need to consider the WhatsApp Business API, which is more complex and typically used by larger businesses. * **Message Delivery Time:** Broadcast messages are sent individually to each recipient, which may lead to delays in message delivery, especially if you have a large number of recipients in your list. * **No Recipient Feedback:** Unlike in group chats, you do not receive feedback on whether a recipient has seen your broadcast message. You can only see if the message has been delivered to the recipient's device. * **Content Moderation:** WhatsApp has strict policies regarding the type of content that can be sent through the platform. Broadcast messages must adhere to these policies to avoid potential account restrictions. * **Limited Contact Management:** While you can organize contacts into broadcast lists, the contact management features in the WhatsApp Business App are relatively basic compared to more robust CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems. ### ### 2\. WhatsApp Business API WhatsApp Broadcast using the **WhatsApp Business API** like [WhatsTool Business](https://whatstool.business/) is a powerful tool for businesses and organizations to send messages to large audiences with greater automation and scalability. It allows businesses to create broadcast lists, categorize contacts, and send messages to multiple recipients while maintaining individual privacy. Unlike the WhatsApp Business App, the API offers advanced automation capabilities, enabling businesses to integrate WhatsApp with their systems, automate responses, and handle high-volume messaging efficiently. This makes it particularly suitable for larger enterprises and customer service applications where automated interactions and streamlined communication are crucial. ​**Features Of WhatsApp Broadcast using WhatsApp Business API:** * **High Recipient Limit**: The API allows for a much higher recipient limit (**can go up to unlimited**), making it suitable for businesses with medium to large customer bases. * **Automated Messaging:** Businesses can set up automated messaging flows using smart chatbots, including welcome messages, order confirmations, shipping updates, and more, improving customer service and response times. * **Personalized Messaging**: The API enables businesses to personalize messages with customer information, such as names and order details, for a more tailored user experience. * **Customer Segmentation**: You can segment your customer base and send targeted broadcast messages to specific customer groups for _more effective marketing and communication_. * **Interactive Buttons:** You can use interactive buttons within messages to provide options for users to take specific actions, such as making a reservation, confirming an appointment, or viewing product details. * **Rich Media Messaging:** The API supports rich media messages, including images, videos, documents, and interactive elements, enabling businesses to create engaging content. * **Message Templates:** Message templates help standardize communications for specific use cases, such as appointment reminders, notifications, and account verification, ensuring compliance with WhatsApp policies. * **Conversation Management:** The API allows for more efficient management of conversations, with the ability to assign chats to specific agents or departments and access conversation history. * **Message Tracking:** Businesses can track the status of sent messages, including delivery and read receipts, to assess message performance. * **No-code Chatbots:** Businesses can implement chatbots and conversational AI to handle common customer inquiries, automate responses, and provide 24/7 support. ​ **​** --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

SMS marketing, although less versatile in terms of content, remains highly effective due to its widespread accessibility, immediate message delivery, and high open rates.  Both channels play essential roles, with WhatsApp catering to more interactive and visually engaging campaigns and SMS serving as a reliable and cost-effective means of reaching a broad audience, ensuring a well-rounded approach to mobile marketing.

Two-Way Communication**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: It enables two-way communication between businesses and customers, allowing for real-time conversations and personalized interactions.

Opt-In and Consent**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: Users must explicitly opt in to receive messages from a business on WhatsApp, ensuring a more receptive and engaged audience. This explicit consent reduces the likelihood of being considered spam. * **SMS Marketing**: While consent is important and subject to regulations, the opt-in process may not always be as explicit as WhatsApp, potentially leading to lower engagement and a higher risk of being marked as spam. **5\. Profile Verification**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: WhatsApp Business accounts can be verified, adding credibility and trust to your business presence. This verification can be especially important for users concerned about privacy and security. * **SMS Marketing**: SMS does not offer profile verification, which can be a disadvantage in terms of establishing trust. **6\.

However, it offers a broader international reach compared to SMS in some cases. * **SMS Marketing**: SMS has a broad global reach and is universally supported on mobile devices. **8\. Cost-Effective for International Messaging**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: WhatsApp may offer cost advantages for international messaging compared to traditional international SMS rates, making it attractive for businesses with an international customer base. * **SMS Marketing**: While SMS is global, international SMS rates can be relatively higher, especially for high volumes. **9\. Analytics and Insights**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: WhatsApp Business API provides detailed analytics and insights into message delivery and engagement, allowing you to measure the effectiveness of your campaigns and make data-driven decisions. * **SMS Marketing**: SMS platforms also offer analytics, but the data may be more limited compared to WhatsApp. Some limitations of SMS marketing: ---------------------------------- Traditional SMS marketing, while effective in many ways, has some limitations: * **Character Limit**: Standard SMS messages are limited to 160 characters. While this constraint can encourage concise messaging, it may not provide enough space to convey complex information or detailed marketing messages. * Lack of Multimedia: SMS is primarily text-based, meaning you cannot include multimedia content like images, videos, or interactive elements. This limitation can make it challenging to engage customers with visually appealing content. * Opt-Out Rates: Some recipients may consider unsolicited SMS messages as spam, leading to higher opt-out rates if they find the messages irrelevant or intrusive. Maintaining a clean and compliant contact list is crucial. * Limited Personalization: While you can personalize SMS messages with the recipient's name, the level of personalization is not as robust as some other marketing channels. Tailoring messages to individual preferences may be challenging. * Costs: Depending on your location and the volume of messages sent, SMS marketing costs can add up, especially for international messaging. _It may not be as cost-effective as of WhatsApp for very large campaigns._ * Limited Analytics: SMS marketing platforms often provide basic analytics, such as delivery and open rates, but they may lack the depth of insights available with other digital marketing channels. Understanding user engagement and behavior can be more challenging. * Limited Customer Interaction: SMS is primarily a one-way communication channel, limiting the ability to engage in meaningful back-and-forth interactions with customers, unlike more interactive platforms like social media or messaging apps. Benefits of WhatsApp Marketing over SMS Marketing: -------------------------------------------------- **1\. Rich Media Content**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: You can send multimedia content, including images, videos, audio, documents, and links, along with text messages. This feature enables you to convey information more effectively and engage users with visually appealing content. * **SMS Marketing**: SMS primarily supports plain text messages, limiting your ability to include rich media content. **2\. Higher Engagement**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: WhatsApp messages often have higher open and response rates because users are more likely to check and engage with messages within their WhatsApp chats, where they communicate with friends and family. * **SMS Marketing**: While SMS messages also have high open rates, WhatsApp's user interface encourages more interaction and engagement. **3\. Two-Way Communication**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: It enables two-way communication between businesses and customers, allowing for real-time conversations and personalized interactions. This is invaluable for customer support, answering inquiries, and building relationships. * **SMS Marketing**: SMS is primarily one-way communication, limiting your ability to engage in meaningful back-and-forth interactions. **4\. Opt-In and Consent**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: Users must explicitly opt in to receive messages from a business on WhatsApp, ensuring a more receptive and engaged audience. This explicit consent reduces the likelihood of being considered spam. * **SMS Marketing**: While consent is important and subject to regulations, the opt-in process may not always be as explicit as WhatsApp, potentially leading to lower engagement and a higher risk of being marked as spam. **5\. Profile Verification**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: WhatsApp Business accounts can be verified (**Includes Green Tick**) adding credibility and trust to your business presence. This verification can be especially important for users concerned about privacy and security. * **SMS Marketing**: SMS does not offer profile verification, which can be a disadvantage in terms of establishing trust. **6\. Customer Segmentation**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: WhatsApp allows for more precise customer segmentation, enabling businesses to send tailored messages to specific groups based on user preferences and behavior, leading to more targeted marketing campaigns. * **SMS Marketing**: SMS segmentation is possible, but it may not be as granular as WhatsApp, limiting the level of personalization. **7\. Global Reach**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: WhatsApp is popular worldwide but may be more prevalent in certain regions. However, it offers a broader international reach compared to SMS in some cases. * **SMS Marketing**: SMS has a broad global reach and is universally supported on mobile devices but still has lower open rates compared to WhatsApp. **8\. Cost-Effective for International Messaging**: * **WhatsApp Marketing**: WhatsApp may offer cost advantages for international messaging compared to traditional international SMS rates, making it attractive for businesses with an international customer base. * **SMS Marketing**: While SMS is global, international SMS rates can be relatively higher, especially for high volumes. **9\.

Author: Sujeet WhatsTool Published: 2023-09-11 Tags: whatsapp cloud api, whatstool business api, onboarding URL: https://blog.whatstool.business/how-to-send-bulk-whatsapp-messages-without-getting-blocked-clmezjlsi8257643upbtjqmxosi/ ### What is WhatsApp Broadcast/Bulk messaging? WhatsApp Broadcast/Bulk messaging is a feature that allows you to send a single message to multiple recipients simultaneously without creating a group chat. This feature is particularly useful for businesses, organizations, or individuals who want to send messages to a large number of users on WhatsApp without the need for individual or group conversations. With **[WhatsTool Business](https://whatstool.business/)** API solution, you can send broadcast messages to thousands of saved and unsaved contacts. You can send multimedia-rich messages and can customize your message as per your need. ### What kind of Bulk messaging can lead to account banning on WhatsApp? WhatsApp has strict policies and guidelines to maintain the integrity of its platform and provide a positive user experience. Engaging in certain types of bulk messaging or spammy behavior can lead to an account or phone number being banned or restricted. Here are some practices that can get you banned on WhatsApp: * ​**Bulk messaging from an unauthorized App/WhatsApp API:** ​Using third-party APIs or unofficial versions of WhatsApp for mass messaging can lead to account bans. Using automated scripts, bots, or software to send a large volume of messages in a short period of time can be a violation of WhatsApp's policies. This includes using WhatsApp for non-personal purposes. * **Sending abusive or offensive contents:** Sending hate speech, harassment, or abusive content through WhatsApp can result in account bans. WhatsApp takes user safety and privacy seriously. * **Sending misleading information**: Sending false or misleading information, including scams, phishing attempts, or fraudulent offers, can result in an account ban. * **Sending unsolicited Commercial messages**: Sending promotional or marketing messages to recipients who have not explicitly opted in to receive them is considered spam. This includes sending advertisements, offers, or product promotions without the recipient's consent. * **Violating WhatsApp Business Policy:** If you are using WhatsApp Business API, make sure to adhere to WhatsApp's Business Policy, which includes strict guidelines on how you can communicate with customers. ###        Different Ways to Send Bulk Messages on WhatsApp WhatsApp has strict policies against sending unsolicited bulk messages or spam, as mentioned in the previous response. However, if you have a legitimate need to send bulk messages to individuals or customers who have opted in to receive your messages, there are a few ways to do so while complying with WhatsApp's policies: * **WhatsApp Business API:** WhatsApp offers a business API that allows medium and large businesses to send messages to their customers in a bulk and automated manner. This API provides businesses with the tools to manage conversations, send notifications, and provide customer support at scale. It's designed for enterprises and requires approval from WhatsApp, you will need an authorized platform like **[WhatsTool Business](https://whatstool.business/).** ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cllkq44qz2830763unbesf0phc8/images/cover-photo-of-benefits-of-whatsapp-business-api-1694408669659-compressed.png) * **WhatsApp Business App:** The WhatsApp Business App is a separate application designed for small and medium-sized businesses. While it doesn't support massive-scale messaging, it does allow you to create automated responses, send broadcast messages, and manage your business interactions more effectively. * **Third-Party Bulk Messaging Services:** There are third-party services and platforms that integrate with WhatsApp's business solutions to help you send bulk messages while complying with WhatsApp's policies. These services often provide features like message templates, scheduling, and analytics. * **Manual Broadcast Lists:** In the standard WhatsApp application, you can create broadcast lists to send messages to multiple contacts simultaneously. However, each recipient will receive the message as an individual message, and your messages must still adhere to WhatsApp's policies.

Marketing conversation category -** Offer, Promotions messages**: 77 Paisa per** **conversation** ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/marketing-message-1692946609526-compressed.jpg) **​ ** **2\. Authentication -**  OTP Messages **: 33 Paisa per conversation** **3\. Utility conversation category -** Transactional, Updates Messages **: 33 Paisa per** **conversation** ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/utility-message-template-1692946625887-compressed.jpg) **​ ** **4\. Service conversation category -**  Custom Message replies to user’s message (No Approval Needed) **: 33 Paisa per conversation** ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/service-message-template-1692946642888-compressed.jpg) **​ ** **1000 initial conversations per month are free for Service category messages ( user initiated** **conversation ) only from 1st June 2023** **Important Notes / Rules** --------------------------- ○ WhatsApp Conversation is a 24-hour messaging window initiated only when a business messages a user. ○ Starting April 1, 2023 template approval will require category validation using our new categories — **Utility, Authentication and Marketing**. If a business replies to a user with a template message or sends a template message in an open service conversation, this opens a new conversation based on the template category. ○ For all Service Category conversations charges, it will only start when there are no other three category conversations ongoing, and a business responds to a user within 24 hours This means that you are only charged for service category conversation when there is no previous conversation window open with the user. ○ When businesses engage in conversations that involve multiple categories such as Marketing,Authentication, Utility, or Service, charges will be applied separately for each category's conversation window initiated. When you send different types of message categories to users, there are a few important things to know about the charges: ■ Separate Charges: Each category of messages you send, like Marketing, Authentication, Utility,  or Service, has its own charges. You pay for each category separately. This means that if you send messages that fall into different categories to the same user in a 24-hour window, you will be charged for each category separately. ■ 24-Hour Window: When you start a conversation in a specific category, you have 24 hours to chat without any extra charges. This gives you ample time to communicate with your customers. **Examples of the pricing implementation** ------------------------------------------ EXAMPLE 1 **Opening a marketing conversation inside a service conversation** A service conversation is opened at 9:31 when a business response to a customer message is delivered. A marketing template is delivered while this service conversation is still open at 4:30. This opens a separate marketing conversation. The result is one charge for a service conversation and one charge for a marketing conversation. EXAMPLE 2 **Opening a utility conversation inside a marketing conversation**  A marketing conversation is opened at 3:40 when a marketing template message is delivered. Later, with the marketing conversation still open, a utility template is delivered at 6:00. This opens a separate utility conversation. The result is one charge for a marketing conversation and one charge for a utility conversation EXAMPLE 3 Two templates of the same category result in only one conversation charge. A utility conversation is opened at 9:00 when a utility template message is delivered. Later, with the utility conversation still open, another utility template message is delivered at 11:00. There is no new conversation charge because the template category used within the open conversation window did not change. The result is one utility conversation charge. EXAMPLE 4 **One template with both utility and marketing content** A template that includes content that is both utility and marketing based on our template guidelines is delivered at 11:59. Whenever marketing content is identified in a template, the template will be categorized as marketing. The result is one marketing conversation charge. WhatsApp Pricing Categories --------------------------- Please review the following information carefully to ensure a clear understanding of how this pricing structure impacts your communication strategies. ### **Marketing message Category** The Marketing category includes messages primarily intended for promotional purposes, such as product updates, special offers, general advertisements, or promotional messages  Every Conversation window will have a duration of 24 hours and during which further marketing message with the user will not incur additional charges.  Please note that each separate Marketing message conversation window will be charged at 77 Paisa for Indian Users. ### Utility Category ○ The Utility category includes messages that provide users with relevant and helpful information, such as delivery updates, transaction receipts, account notifications, or post payment confirmation ○ Please note that each separate Utility message conversation window will be charged at 33 Paisa for Indian Users ### Service Category ○ When a customer sends you a message, you have a 24-hour window called the customer service window. Within this 24-hour period, you can respond to the customer's messages freely, using free form messages. If the customer sends you a message within the 24-hour window, the timer resets, giving you another 24 hours to respond. As long as it has been less than 24 hours since their last message, you can continue to communicate with the customer using free form messages. ○ If a customer sends you a message and there is no ongoing conversation such as Marketing, Authentication, Utility. Then you can reply with a free form message, then service category charges will be initiated. ○ On the other hand, if there is already an active ongoing conversation such as Marketing, Authentication, Utility and then the user sends a message, you can respond with a free form message as well. You won't be charged for service category charges in this case. ○ The Service category involves messages related to personalized customer support, addressing queries, and providing assistance. ○ Please note that each separate Service message conversation window will be charged at 33 Paisa for Indian Users. ### **Authentication Category** ○ The Authentication category includes messages related to OTP messages such as account registration, account recovery, and integrity challenges. ○ Please note that each separate Authentication message conversation window will be charged at 33 Paisa for Indian Users **Free Credits** 1000 initial conversations per month are free for Service category messages ( user initiated conversation ) only from 1st June 2023 --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

By this, they get to know how many customers are aligned with a particular status. So that, they can filter it out whenever it is required for any purpose like doing follow-ups or targeting them via running a campaign. What is the Status in CRM? ----------------------------- The "Status" feature often refers to the state or stage of a contact, lead, opportunity, or customer in the sales or relationship lifecycle. The status can indicate where the contact stands in terms of engagement, conversion, or follow-up. Common statuses might include "Prospect," "Qualified Lead," "In Progress," "Won," or "Closed-Lost." This feature helps sales and customer service teams track and manage their interactions with contacts and ensure a systematic approach to nurturing and converting leads into customers. What are the lifecycle stages of CRM? ---------------------------------------- The lifecycle stages, often referred to as statuses, in a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system, represent the different phases that a contact or lead progresses through during the sales or relationship journey. Each stage reflects the evolving status of the interaction, from initial contact to final conversion. 1\. Prospect: This is the initial stage where a potential customer's information is captured in the CRM. They might have shown interest but haven't been fully qualified as a lead yet. 2\. Lead: At this stage, the prospect has shown more interest and engagement, possibly by responding to marketing efforts or showing intent to purchase. Leads are typically evaluated to determine their fit and potential as paying customers. 3\. Qualified Lead: A qualified lead meets certain criteria that indicate a higher likelihood of conversion. This stage signifies that the lead has been assessed and has the potential to become a customer with further nurturing. 4\. Opportunity: When a qualified lead expresses clear interest in purchasing a product or service, they become an opportunity. This stage often involves active discussions and negotiations. 5\. Proposal or Quote: At this point, a formal proposal or quote is provided to the potential customer, outlining the specifics of the offer, pricing, and terms. 6\. Negotiation: During the negotiation stage, both parties might discuss and address any concerns or questions related to the proposal. This phase aims to align the customer's needs with the offered solution. 7\. Won: When negotiations are successful and the customer agrees to move forward, the status changes to "Won." The deal is closed, and the lead becomes a paying customer. 8\. Closed-Lost: If negotiations do not lead to a successful deal, the status becomes "Closed-Lost." The lead is marked as not converting into a customer at this time. 9\. Renewal or Upsell: For existing customers, this stage involves efforts to renew contracts or explore opportunities for upselling or cross-selling additional products or services. The lifecycle stages, often referred to as statuses, in a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system, represent the different phases that a contact or lead progresses through during the sales or relationship journey. Each stage reflects the evolving status of the interaction, from initial contact to final conversion. ### The status feature used to assign and filter in the chat section ![Status feature in Chat](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/screenshot-2023-08-23-174621-1692793278388-compressed.png) ### The status feature is used as a filter existing contact list in Contact & CRM ![Status feature in Contact & CRM](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/screenshot-2023-08-23-174709-1692793297470-compressed.png) ### The status feature is used to put into a particular contact in Contact & CRM and in the chat section ![Status feature in Contact & CRM's user info section](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/screenshot-2023-08-23-174724-1692793307335-compressed.png) ### The status feature is used as a filter to select contacts from CRM for running a Campaign ![Create campaign as per status filter](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/screenshot-2023-08-23-174811-1692793316347-compressed.png) 🖇️ Do sign up to utilize our Contact & CRM tool: [https://shorturl.at/fvAGX](https://shorturl.at/fvAGX) We have a 15-day 🆓 trial of our dashboard without any restrictions. 😎🎉🎁 Read more related blogs: https://blog.whatstool.business/tag/crm/ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

In simple terms,  **WhatsApp Business Automation** refers to using tools and processes to automate and optimize business interactions on the WhatsApp platform. It involves using chatbots, predefined responses, message templates, and other techniques to streamline customer communication, save time, and enhance efficiency. This automation enables businesses to provide instant responses, send notifications, and manage interactions at scale while maintaining a personalized and engaging customer experience. To automate common customer queries & notifications like Order Confirmation, delivery, payments & more, you'll need a WhatsApp Business API-powered platform like **WhatsTool Business.** ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/cover-photo-of-benefits-of-whatsapp-business-api-1693826415767-compressed.png) ​ Benefits of WhatsApp Automation WhatsApp Business Automation offers several benefits for your business: **1\. Efficiency:** Automating repetitive tasks and responses saves time and resources. **2\. 24/7 Availability:** Instant replies even outside business hours enhance customer satisfaction. **3\. [Quick Customer Support](https://whatstool.business/customer-support):** Chatbots provide immediate assistance for common queries. ![Benefits of WhatsApp Automation](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/benefits-of-whatsapp-automation-2-1693490035417-compressed.png) **4\.

Convenience:** Customers appreciate quick, convenient, and informative interactions. In summary, WhatsApp Business Automation boosts efficiency, enhances customer experience, and helps your business grow while maintaining personalized communication. How to use WhatsApp Automation for your business? ------------------------------------------------- Here's How!  **High Volume of Customer Queries?** Your business receives a high volume of customer queries, making it difficult to respond promptly to all of them. With WhatsApp API Implement a [chatbot](https://whatstool.business/chatbots) to handle common queries and provide instant responses. Set up predefined responses for frequently asked questions, order status inquiries, and basic information. **Inefficient Appointment Scheduling?** Managing appointment scheduling manually takes up valuable time and might lead to errors. Use automation to offer customers the ability to schedule appointments through WhatsApp. A [chatbot](https://whatstool.business/chatbots) can guide them through the process, check availability, and confirm the appointment. **Lack of Personalization in Communication?** Customers receive generic messages that don't address their specific needs or preferences. Utilize customer data to personalize messages. Send tailored recommendations based on past purchases, preferences, or interactions to enhance engagement. **Delayed Order Tracking Updates?** Customers frequently inquire about the status of their orders, leading to repetitive responses from your team. Set up automated order tracking updates. Customers can input their order number, and the chatbot provides real-time updates on their order's status. ​ **Long Response Times for Support** Customers experience delays in getting their support issues resolved due to manual response processes. Deploy a chatbot to offer initial support and gather information about the issue. If the issue is complex, the chatbot can escalate the conversation to a human agent for timely resolution. **Inconsistent Marketing Messages** Marketing messages vary in content and tone, leading to inconsistency in brand communication. Create message templates for marketing messages that adhere to brand guidelines. These templates ensure consistent messaging and maintain brand identity. **Handling After-Hours Queries** Customers expect support outside of regular business hours, but your team isn't available around the clock. Implement a chatbot to handle after-hours queries with predefined responses. Let customers know when they can expect a human response or offer self-service options. ​  **Quick replies to answer FAQs quickly** The quick replies feature lets you save and reuse messages you use frequently. You can assign a unique ‘tag’ to the messages and access them by clicking “⚡” in the chat. By sending saved messages, you walk away not only having responded to a query fast but also having saved your support agent’s time and energy. By addressing these issues through WhatsApp Automation, your business can provide efficient, personalized, and timely interactions with customers, enhancing their experience and improving overall operational efficiency. Remember to continuously monitor and optimize your automated processes based on feedback and performance data. ### No Code Chatbot editor to set the automation ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/chatbotedit-1721741746153-compressed.png) Our no code chatbot edit helps you get started easily without the need of writing any code for any set of automation with our robust [features](https://whatstool.business/features).  You can do some of the following things with the automation  1.

Hence, you can manage a large scale of customer queries simultaneously, 24x_7x_365 Businesses are using WhatsApp interfaced chatbots because it creates a comfortable user experience. When users feel comfortable, they trust, and with trust comes sales. Not everyone is accustomed to the ever-growing widgets that the internet provides. WhatsApp’s interface serves as common ground and hence skyrockets lead generation. Put people’s best interests at heart and always come out on top. This way, you equip users with easy-to-use tools to resolve any concerns and issues they encounter.

What makes it tick and how can you implement it in your WhatsApp communication with your buyers? Here’s everything you need to know about conversational marketing with WhatsApp Business._​ If you’ve been keeping up with the WHATSTOOL blog, then you’ll know that in an earlier post on **[conversational marketing](https://business.whatstool.in/)**, we’ve given you a brief definition of what it is.  In this guide, we’re going to dive even deeper into what conversational marketing really is, its characteristics, and what it is that makes it work so well.  Specifically, we’ll focus on using conversational marketing in chatbots and messenger apps and on WhatsApp in particular.  Why WhatsApp? That’s because (yes, if you’ve been reading our blog, you’ll have already come across this statistic) it’s the world’s most popular messaging app with more than two billion users worldwide.  What that translates into is lots of potential for engagement, sales, and business growth.  This guide will be broken down into various sections, so feel free to jump ahead to the bit(s) you’re interested in. Here’s a breakdown of the content in this post: * What is conversational marketing (a definition) * Main characteristics of conversational marketing * Conversational marketing statistics * Examples of conversational marketing We’ve got loads to unpack here so let’s not waste any more time and get straight to it.  What Is Conversational Marketing? To start, let’s take a quick walk down memory lane and look at conversational marketing’s roots.  Conversational marketing has actually been around for a much longer time than most people think. At its core, it’s essentially the personalized exchange of dialogue that takes place when a business interacts with its target audience.   ### Conversational Marketing Definition ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/conversational-marketing-1662642019625-compressed.jpg) In our previous post on conversational marketing, we presented you with its original definition coined by the company Drift.  Here it is again:  _Conversational marketing or conversation marketing is a one-to-one approach to marketing that companies use to shorten their sales cycle, learn about their customers, and create a more human buying experience._  Looking at this, we can see that an interaction between a buyer and a salesperson during an in-store shopping experience or even a phone conversation in pre-eCommerce times would qualify as conversational marketing.  This would mean that conversational marketing has actually been around as early as trade itself.   And you know what? It probably was – the term was just never coined.  That said, it’s important to note that it wasn’t until chatbots and messaging apps were introduced as a communication tool for brands that the label “conversational marketing” became even more popular.  Today, it’s what most people think about when coming across the term.  ### The Main Characteristics of Conversational Marketing At its root, conversational marketing is all about creating and engaging in dialogue with people who may be interested in your product. This encompasses methods like previously mentioned face-to-face interactions, video/voice calls, social media engagement, and even email marketing. But what is it that qualifies an exchange as conversational marketing? There’s no surprise here, but all of its characteristics are related to its root word: “conversation.”  Here are some of the main characteristics of conversational marketing:  * **It takes place in real time.** Like most of the conversations we have when speaking to our friends and family, conversation marketing happens live. This ensures all parties are engaged and give their full attention.  This is also why it works particularly well on WhatsApp, a chat app designed for quick exchanges and meant to bring people closer to one another.  * **It’s customer-centric.** Conversational marketing is customer-driven. This means that as a business, you should provide personalized engagement with your buyers – as if you were communicating with them and them only. This meaningful and personal touch and care (more on how you can communicate this in a later section), in turn, builds trust and encourages customers to the conversation going.  * **It’s natural.** One of the main reasons most brands turn to chatbots and messaging apps for conversational marketing is that their nature allows for dialogues to flow and develop naturally and comfortably. Exchanges via conversational marketing should never feel like it’s between two strangers.  * **It’s not one-way.** Unlike other forms of marketing such as paid ads, conversational marketing is bi-directional. It gives all involved parties the possibility to raise their voices whenever they want. This means that as a brand when chatting with your customer, you’re also giving them the flexibility to lead and take charge of the conversation. 3 (More) Conversational Marketing Statistics You Need To Know ------------------------------------------------------------- ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/examplesofconversationalmarketingdoneright-1-1662642134823-compressed.webp) In our previous post, we provided you with a few conversational marketing statistics to highlight its effectiveness. If you’re still unconvinced, here are a few more.  ### 1\. Customers Expect Chats in Real-Time According to a recent study, 71% of customers expect companies to chat with them in real time.   This statistic stresses the importance of conversational marketing, which, implemented through chat apps, offers crystal clear and real-time communication with customers.   Not only does this allow them to ask questions whenever they need to, which boosts engagement, but it also indirectly improves the **customer experience** and satisfaction as a whole.  ### 2\. Live Chat Support Increases Repeat Purchases 51% of customers say they’ll purchase more from a brand if they offer live chat support.   This can be anything from engaging with automated chatbots set up to answer commonly asked questions, chatting with a human agent, or both.  Want more concrete figures? 63% of buyers with an online spending profile of between $250 and $500 online are most likely to purchase from and stay loyal to businesses with live chat support.  If your target buyers fall into this expenditure category, you may want to seriously consider **[building a WhatsApp chatbot for your business](https://business.whatstool.in/)** if you don’t already use one.   ### 3\. Consumers Are Happy To Use Messaging Apps To Reach Customer Service Teams When it comes to getting help from a company’s customer service team, nearly eight out of ten (79%) consumers are willing to do so via messaging applications.  This is one of the most important conversational marketing statistics for several reasons.   First off, it shows the growing preference for direct communication among consumers, as older forms like email forms get increasingly less popular. Plus, it also highlights consumers’ want for quick problem resolutions instead of having to wait to hear back from the company.  By the same token, not providing messaging options would mean losing out on a massive opportunity to meet the modern consumer’s expectations.   ### 4\. 175 Million WhatsApp Messages Are Sent to Business Accounts Daily Last but _definitely_ not least, this conversational marketing statistic should definitely get you interested in getting started with WhatsApp Business.  [According to Meta](https://about.fb.com/news/2020/10/privacy-matters-whatsapp-business-conversations/) (WhatsApp’s parent company), as many as 175 million WhatsApp messages are being sent to business accounts every single day. Note that this statistic is from October 2020, just two years after WhatsApp Business was launched.  This is an extremely quick uptake, showing the popularity of conversational marketing from brands and the positive effects it has on consumers.  As WhatsApp continues to introduce new features to streamline communication, there’s no doubt more and more people around the world will start to message their favourite brands on WhatsApp.    Mastering the Art of Conversational Marketing --------------------------------------------- Now that we’ve broken down exactly what conversational marketing is and given you the statistics to back it, let’s look at how you can best implement it on WhatsApp Business.  ### 1\. Keep It Simple There’s nothing like big words, long sentences, and massive walls of text to turn customers away.  Keep in mind that with conversational marketing, your goal is to keep your customer engaged. To do that, your conversations with them need to be as simple as possible.  Avoid filling your WhatsApp chats with your customers with wordy sentences and definitely do not spam them. Both of these run the risk of causing misunderstandings, creating animosity, and potentially losing the customer.  ### 2\. Make Use of WhatsApp’s Wide Range of Features From **[WhatsApp Business’ interactive messages](https://business.whatstool.in/)** to multimedia tools, there are tons of features on WhatsApp that you can incorporate into your conversational marketing strategy.   For instance, calls-to-action and quick reply buttons (which are only available to **[WhatsApp Business API](https://business.whatstool.in/)** users) encourage engagement by providing easy and convenient messaging options.  The possibility to attach media files to your WhatsApp chats with buyers also helps to keep the conversation fresh and entertaining.   ### 3\. Use Emojis ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/file-1662642214687-compressed.jpg) There’s no question emojis form part and parcel of WhatsApp conversations. In fact, the use of emojis has been increasing over the past decade and is currently at a record high.   The informal nature of conversational marketing paves the way for the use of emojis in brands’ interactions with buyers on WhatsApp.   Now, even though this may seem like a minor and insignificant tactic, it’s actually quite a productive (and not to mention simple) way to stimulate engagement as it keeps the conversation informal and fun.   **Bonus fact:** The top five emojis of 2021 are the loudly crying face (😭), face with tears of joy (😂), pleading face (🥺), smiling face with hearts (🥰), and the purple heart (💜).  ### 4\. Greet Your Customers Using Their Names With conversational marketing, you want to keep your customers at ease. So when greeting them on WhatsApp, do so with their first names.  Calling them “sir” or “madam” or even using salutations makes the conversation extremely formal and immediately erects an invisible wall that puts a distance between you and your buyer.   As an added plus, it’s also a show of confidence and comfort from your brand.  Correspondingly, you might want to consider giving your chatbot a name as it makes the exchange a lot more personal. If you have human agents attending to your incoming WhatsApp messages, they could also introduce themselves with their real (or assigned fake) names. Examples of Conversational Marketing ------------------------------------ Now, let’s have a look at some top examples of conversational marketing from prominent brands.  Note that even though some of them are not done via WhatsApp Business, they are still great sources of inspiration and can easily be implemented into your WhatsApp conversational marketing strategy.  ### 1\. Domino’s ![whatsapp conversation with Domino's](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/6Y87bcIBjgO92FFfDb_nLKmHg3KAp-OzeJ3EtGx10AMf3rPXoefc-lWZh-Q58Peta2yNDfJcOe8GUrCdhjtB3MSkCF5cut_4RHFFaYYR_CyujYl9CWS_CJvNF8d0qfPV-kId7JcM) Remember when ordering pizzas involved picking up a phone and actually dialling? It’s a vague memory for us too.  Thanks to chatbots, consumers can now get pizzas delivered after a few quick message exchanges.   Domino’s Pizza simplifies its pizza ordering process with conversational marketing. Aside from the casual and informal tone it adopts, the brand also makes use of different interactive message templates like quick replies to hasten orders and provide a more pleasant (and visual) user experience.  ### 2\. Munich S-Bahn ![whatsapp conversation with Munich S-Bahn](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/u4NMSh26dXM-z4SkIucED1XqGBrhocVN1Fqtzo849PIRDWX7eNYdsSlTGxpaw-dBVQSHNxNdrUNXh98RshEO5J611Ww6dIZO8-XuZI1W1BPto_75byn6KZvrOreK04CYVTh8UXW8) Known for its extensive network for both inter-and intra-city travel, trains are often the first choice of transportation for German residents.  Armed with that knowledge, when the Bavarian city of Munich was modernizing over 200 of its trains, city officials decided to take to conversational marketing to communicate this upgrade to passengers.  Over a period of three months, commuters were encouraged to send selfies while onboard any of their modernized trains for a chance to win its grand prize – a pair of Apple AirPods.  All they had to do was send a WhatsApp message with the keyword “Selfie” to a publicized number, along with their picture.  Note the motivating and casual way the campaign interacts with participants as well as its use of WhatsApp’s multimedia features. That’s exactly what conversational marketing is all about.   All in all, more than 600 earnest passengers took part in the campaign.  ### 3\. ADAC Don’t Call Mom  We’re going to stay in Germany for another example of conversational marketing done right.  This time, it’s Europe’s largest motoring association ADAC’s WhatsApp campaign called “[Don’t Call Mom.](https://rckt.com/en/case/adac-don-t-call-mom/)”  Launched in 2018, the goal of this campaign was to help ADAC connect with the younger generation that didn’t (yet) own a car. (Nice forward-thinking, ADAC!)  To do that, they launched a campaign based purely on conversational marketing. Participants were encouraged to ask the ADAC team all sorts of questions – in particular, questions they wouldn’t dare ask their parents.   Behind those replies was a community team from ADAC who answered every single question directly in a personal one-to-one private chat.  The result? Thousands of shares and about 20 million new contacts for ADAC. Needless to say, it was a rousing success. Conversational Marketing With WhatsApp Business ![QoX5Z2g0fbQm](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/QoX5Z2g0fbQm-M_bF8z9zZn2qxZl33fl5e5sF9iSX8jC2L1pCwUMtQhf8mWVS3X5Hy4LQ_E07aiAyvPTPITVBOIQ3Z_o3tJm__FXMXi0XG1Lpj264qXiakkQ0_Hnsi93BGZG73WG) With all that’s been said and done in this guide, the benefits of conversational marketing with WhatsApp Business for a company couldn’t be clearer.   Even though it’s a strategy that can be implemented and executed using the free WhatsApp Business app, the API offers so many more possibilities that it would be a shame to not give it a try.  For instance, with the API, you can build more personalized exchanges with your buyers – a key trait of conversational marketing. You can also analyze these interactions and use them to further improve your communication.   That said, if you’re serious about your company’s conversational marketing game on WhatsApp, the first step would be to **[set up your WhatsApp Business API account](https://business.whatstool.in/)**.   Read Other Blogs -  [View](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/)​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

The message charges will apply based on who initiated the conversation – the business or the user.   ### The new pricing model- Conversation Based The new pricing model is based on who initiates a conversation. There are two kinds of conversations that are priced differently: * **User-initiated:** These are conversations where a user messages a business. When a business replies to this message within a 24-hour window, it is counted as a user-initiated conversation. Businesses can send free-form messages within this 24-hour window. * **Business-initiated:** These are conversations where a business gets in touch with a user. These business-initiated conversations will require a message template. ![Conversation-based pricing](https://files.helpdocs.io/bctwm4322q/articles/tdfv41fg0a/1638513522283/5-hsum-rttj-9-u-6-p-zk-xpkz-6-uua-hfs-imayqz-zfr-5-j-jd-sibbx-vi-q-5-zunide-7-e-gcmmm-l-4-dn-dxr-l-1-h-kggg-saqe-4-ux-5-vi-8-yf-ji-gpsy-fzc-jw-joc-gz-ve-8-uxecj-csoqrct-js-5-dvk-jiumfd-dwy) All conversations are measured in fixed 24-hour sessions. A conversation starts when the first business message in a conversation is delivered, either initiated by the business or in reply to a user message. Businesses and users can exchange any number of messages, including template messages, within a 24-hour conversation session without incurring additional charges. Each 24-hour conversation session results in a single charge. What should businesses do to get the most out of the new pricing model? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1\. If you use Whatsapp for customer support, try to resolve queries as soon as possible. You can use **[WHATSTOOL’s Multi-Agent Dashboard](https://business.whatstool.in/)** For WhatsApp to manage your customer support efficiently. If your support team has limited work hours, consider [building a WhatsApp Chatbot](https://business.whatstool.in/) that’ll help in solving basic support queries on WhatsApp. 2\. If WhatsApp is your primary marketing channel, you will need to focus on providing value to your customers through your notifications. This will go a long way in creating a favourable customer experience as well. What does it mean for your business? Businesses Sending Frequent Notifications: If you send multiple Broadcast messages on WhatsApp within a 24-hour period, you will only pay for a single conversation per user for starting the conversation.  **Businesses Sending Infrequent Notifications:** If you are sending messages over multiple 24-hour periods, you will now pay for each conversation based on business-initiated conversation pricing. **Customer Support On WhatsApp:** If you are responding to incoming user-initiated messages, then you will be charged according to the user-initiated conversation-based charges. It is clear that Meta (Facebook) wants businesses to use WhatsApp as a two-way communication tool to help solve issues. They want to keep it as a channel where customers can easily reach out to brands for a quick resolution. They also want to keep the conversations relevant and discourage too many notifications from brands. This move will go a long way in establishing WhatsApp as a trusted medium of brand communication and improve the customer experience in the bargain.  Read Other Blogs -  [View](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/)​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

Not only does it help to facilitate interaction and communication, which speeds up problem resolutions, but it can also provide your buyers with a dedicated customer support experience.  So, just what are your options when it comes to running WhatsApp Business on multiple devices?   In this post, we’ll look at just that: the possibility of using the same WhatsApp Business account on two devices or more, your options, and possible alternatives.   Let’s get started. How To Use WhatsApp Business on Multiple Devices? ------------------------------------------------- The first thing you need to know about accessing one WhatsApp Business account on multiple devices is that it _is_ possible. However, it very much depends on the type of WhatsApp Business account you have.  If you use WhatsApp Business App, it has some limitations with Whatsapp business multiple devices support.  #### Free WhatsApp Business App Multiple Devices Login Limitations ![Whatsapp Business API v s App 1](https://www.wati.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Whatsapp-Business-API-v_s-App-1-1024x577.png) The only way to use WhatsApp Business on multiple devices is if you have access to the WhatsApp Business API (More on this later.) The free WhatsApp Business app, unfortunately, has limitations similar to the WhatsApp Messenger app in this regard.  This means that the same WhatsApp Business account (registered under the same number) can only be used on one single device. To clarify, you can access a WhatsApp account from the WhatsApp web and the mobile app concurrently—but only if it’s the same account.  You will not, however, be able to open multiple browsers (or tabs) of the same WhatsApp account on the WhatsApp web. Doing so will prompt this message:  In short, if you’re using the free WhatsApp Business app, there is simply no way to access the same WhatsApp Business account on more than one device.  #### Multiple Logins on Multiple Devices With the WhatsApp Business API If you’re a new or small business, using the free WhatsApp Business app and having just one person handle customer service on WhatsApp at any given time may be sufficient—especially if you’re making full use of the **[WhatsApp marketing](https://business.whatstool.in/)** and customer service tools available.   But if you’re a growing enterprise, such limitations may be a hindrance to growth.  The only way to be able to log into the same WhatsApp Business account on two or more devices is if you’re using WhatsApp Business via the **[WhatsApp Business API.](https://business.whatstool.in/)**  Getting access requires going through a WhatsApp Business solution Provider (BSP) like WHATSTOOL, which brings us to our next point. ### Using WhatsApp Business on Multiple Devices With WHATSTOOL Here’s a small video you should watch to see how multi-device login For WhatsApp works using WHATSTOOL. As a BSP, WHATSTOOL can get you access to the WhatsApp Business API, which opens up a realm of new and exciting customer support and communication possibilities.  WHATSTOOL is short for WhatsApp Business Account for Team Inbox and Marketing. And as our name suggests, we can help you get set up such that multiple customer support team members can sign in to and use the same WhatsApp Business account using various devices all at once.  The most useful and popular tool we offer is, by and far, the **[multi-agent team inbox](https://business.whatstool.in/)**. This is a shared chat space where your customer support staff can access, view, and respond to customer queries all at the same time.  That’s not all. They can also chat among themselves, collaborate together, and better organize themselves by assigning tickets and saving specific chats to favourites for easy access.  Other functions include: * Add customized parameters to chats/contacts * Search and filter chats * Create quick replies * Etc. #### WHATSTOOL WhatsApp Business Mobile App for Multiple Users At WHATSTOOL, we’ve also developed a WhatsApp Business mobile app that allows multiple users to log into the same WhatsApp Business account.  This is created by our very own developers with the purpose of allowing multiple and simultaneous logins and is different from WhatsApp’s own WhatsApp Business app.  Because it’s also run on the WhatsApp Business API, WHATSTOOL’s WhatsApp Business mobile app allows you to have various team members access the same account at once—regardless of how many agents you have.  The app comes in particularly handy when your agents are away from their computers or on the move and need to respond to a query urgently and/or collaborate with other customer service agents to do so. WhatsApp Business on Multiple Devices Alternatives Rumours of WhatsApp working on the possibility of using the same WhatsApp account on up to four devices at the same time have recently been circulating.  For the moment, these are what they are: rumours. Whether or not they will prove true and when remains to be seen.  As of right now, there’s been no official statement from WhatsApp regarding the matter and the only way able to access the same WhatsApp Business account on multiple devices is via the WhatsApp Business API.  If you’re not ready to make the leap but would still like to have different customer service agents handle WhatsApp communication with your customers at the same time, the only alternative would be to use different numbers to register different WhatsApp Business accounts to be used on different devices.  That’s because there can only be one WhatsApp account/number associated with one mobile device (even for dual-SIM phones). Opting for this would require having multiple WhatsApp numbers and multiple phones (bar **second space–**permitting devices).  The downside to this is that it will be pretty cumbersome to manage and exceptional organizational skills will undoubtedly be required.  That’s because the chats with your customers will be spread across multiple devices and may prove to be more tedious than efficient to know where each contact and conversation is. Additionally, you will need to promote more than one WhatsApp Business number, which may be confusing for your customers.  If you’re not ready to upgrade to the WhatsApp Business API and think that this is a possibility that could work for you, by all means, give it a go.  Read Other Blogs -  [View](https://blog.whatstool.business/)​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

SMS has traditionally been the most used medium for business communication. However, it is one-way communication and doesn’t offer much scope for interaction. Enter WhatsApp Business APIs! Drawbacks of SMS  ----------------- In the era of information overload, reading is often passive when there isn’t an element of interaction. Think about how often you open your SMS app if it is not to check your OTP. Let’s see the other problems with SMS communication. **1.  Spam and Promotional SMS fills up the inbox-** It’s everyone’s story. Despite regulations that are in place, we all receive a lot of spam and unrelated messages. This makes it very hard to even find relevant SMS.   **2\. Fraud and phishing via SMS** are other huge problems. Checking the authenticity of a text message received in the SMS app is not easily possible for an average smartphone user. People receive a ton of texts from random banks & financial services. That certainly decreases the overall credibility & the chances to bring some attention to your texts.  **3\. Lack of Interactive communication –** There is no way for a customer to reply to or show interest when you send an SMS. It is one-way communication and hasn’t kept up with the changing times where interactivity plays a huge role. **4\. Inability to send media files-** If a bank wants to send their customer a PDF of their account statement, the only way to do so is to send it via a link. It adds unnecessary steps and makes the process longer than it needs to be. Text messaging is not bad. It’s just us who have been upgraded to be more interactive & engaging in conversations. WhatsApp Business API Solution not only solves the above problems but also comes with additional useful features for BFSI to engage & communicate with their customers on WhatsApp. WhatsApp Business API For BFSI Powered by WHATSTOOL: The Solution ----------------------------------------------------------------- ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/IbuqpH4M69DuIFZ3tbtTCBe2I5tlQejR38hK8yOvy3J5s_90wpx_1vaa_lV84dshYvfSRkIUdgcr3zjs1EmEvbSNifFThhSFkxhssvnGr_PfVslNq7xQ1tHYTY0v07ghP5UfhaVm) Since its inception in 2018, WhatsApp Business API has become one of the most desired communication channels for banks and financial companies.   WHATSTOOL, built on top of WhatsApp Business APIs, empowers BFSI companies to build a great customer experience on WhatsApp.   With the WhatsApp Business API, the financial sector can not only establish interactive communication with customers on their favourite chat app but also power customer service with real-time account balances, mini statement reports, latest transaction records, real-time alerts, and even payment transfers.   As online engagement becomes more conversational, using WhatsApp to facilitate financial updates for customers makes perfect sense. Let’s dig deep into how WhatsApp Business API facilitates business messaging for BFSI. ### **WhatsApp Messaging: The Most Engaging Communication Channel** Being the most engaging communication, WhatsApp makes your customers actively interact with other people on their App. If you broadcast a personalized policy or finance offer, rarely, people will not interact with that message.  You can use WHATSTOOL’s interactive dashboard to send **[WhatsApp broadcast](https://www.wati.io/whatsapp-broadcast-the-ultimate-guide-for-2021/)s**, create **chat automation & WhatsApp Chatbots**, manage a **Multi-Agent Team Inbox**, manage contacts, personalize using APIs, and use _third-party integrations_. Let’s understand how using the WhatsApp Business API solution solves the problem that SMS communication has. 1. **Interact with verified businesses** through [WhatsApp Business Verification](https://business.whatstool.in/)**–** WhatsApp, having the entire service in control, verifies businesses to build authenticity among business users. The green badge shows that this is the official company account — where customers can ask questions of any kind. It provides additional contact information, such as their website, phone number, and other company details. Having a verified profile means that customers can trust this channel and communicate without any worry regarding their banking & financial services. 1. **User Opt-In & Spam Protection-** Fraud & spam protection are crucial when serving customers in the financial services sector. User opt-in plays an important role in setting up your service on WhatsApp.  An end-user must first consent to receive financial messages or transactional updates through your WhatsApp Business solution by opting into them via a third-party channel such as your website, app, email, or physical form. WhatsApp verifies each business-initiated message(called message templates) before allowing businesses to send them to their customers. This significantly reduces the chances of spam & fraudulent messages. WHATSTOOL dashboard also shows the Quality Rating that may go down when a business tries to spam its customers. Poor Quality Rating may lead to a permanent restriction on using WhatsApp API Solution. 2. **End To End Encryption –** Security comes first when it comes to financial communications. WhatsApp Business API messages are encrypted from WHATSTOOL to the device and secured over HTTPS. This means financial institutes can share and receive sensitive information in business-to-customer communications, such as payment requests, addresses, etc. 1. **Interactive & Engaging Messaging:** Financial institutes can not only share media such as images, documents, and videos but they can also use list messages and CTA buttons. **List Messages–** These messages can be used as a menu, showing options for certain services. **CTA Messages–** These interactive messages can be used to make customers call or visit your website or in personalized campaigns that are part of **WhatsApp Marketing**. 1. **Real-time Customer Support:** WhatsApp Business API allows banking & financial services to set up multi-agent support on a single WhatsApp Business Number. WHATSTOOL has a dedicated team inbox that allows you to easily bring your customer support on WhatsApp. Support on WhatsApp is highly efficient & reliable. 2. **WhatsApp Chatbot & Automation****:** You can easily automate the responses for FAQs and general queries related to loans, credits, and transactions by enabling a WhatsApp Chatbot on your WhatsApp Business number. WATI offers a free no-code chatbot builder that makes you build and integrate a chatbot on your WhatsApp Business account. You can design chatbot flows with list messages, and CTA messages to make conversations highly engaging & efficient. Financial services can also integrate their WhatsApp Business with third-party CRMs or Apps they use to manage their business. For example, a user will receive an instant onboarding message once his banking details are verified. 3. **Catalog On WhatsApp:** BFSI & FinTech can showcase their product or service catalogue directly on their WhatsApp Business number. That allows end-users to make purchase decisions faster. It’s quite clear that feature-rich WhatsApp Business API communication is far more engaging than traditional SMS communication. Financial services need to set up their WhatsApp business account in a way that serves their customers with personalized messaging.

Whether you’re looking to send out marketing messages or notifications, these need to be done right.  From traditional SMS and email to popular platforms like WhatsApp, there are plenty of channels that are equipped to help businesses communicate effectively.   In this post, we’ll explore the three most popular broadcast channels: WhatsApp, SMS, and email. That way, you have the information you need to make an informed decision.  What Is SMS Broadcast? ---------------------- ![B0xa](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/B0xa-UkUo3RdbxmPvYH_U3YXtQDc2GxNc4kXW1QNZOfwfiYssPQe9zMXfa17ssQITnZctUrdG2o7HJOiu4wXJ4tHMKVTZ5smUz2Fyi2iYHolLb17auI0bdyaJjuhPBP5xZqM6lau) SMS broadcast, also known as mass texting and bulk SMS, is a communication method that allows you to send the same message to multiple recipients via Short Message Service.  With SMS broadcast, recipients won’t be able to tell whether it’s been mass-sent to others. However, by that same token, it’s also not possible to set up group chats.   Because of the nature of SMS broadcast, which is mostly used for short text messages, it’s most commonly used for alerts and transactional messages such as shipment notifications, and payment confirmations.  Here are some pros and cons of SMS broadcasts you need to know about.   #### Pros of SMS Broadcast * SMS broadcast messages can be sent and received on any mobile device, including non-smartphones. This allows you to target customers who don’t own smartphones. * Recipients cannot tell whether the message was mass sent.  * SMS broadcast messages do not rely on data or WiFi and can be sent when there’s no internet connection. #### Cons of SMS Broadcast * It’s text-based only and does not support media file * There’s a 160-text limit for each SMS. * Senders cannot tell whether a message has been read. ### SMS Broadcast Tools It’s important to do some research into the top SMS broadcast tools to see which is a good fit for your brand.  We’ve done some legwork for you and here are some of the top SMS broadcast software available.  #### **Call Loop** ![uINYe yUsaDkkDm1Ym50lV0zh3YJAU1g1cV](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/uINYe-yUsaDkkDm1Ym50lV0zh3YJAU1g1cV-Nog_wxHDF0AoHViyhKB8Pg5f3ZsGPDeDP9BY0HxCsBYXLup486Qw8LSxGio0Npp2BvbwtsbhYxPbkseHJjjEBb4pBsgAaWGPSlwN) Call Loop’s SMS broadcast features include the possibility to personalize your messages (by incorporating the first and/or last names of your recipients and customizing each text to their names). It also provides analyses and reports of your SMS marketing activities.   A free 14-day trial is available so you can test it first before committing to them.  #### **CallHub** ![RxGVCSHXShD4TFj E](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/RxGVCSHXShD4TFj-E-H7BcbN82JZco6O_e8jpp24tFExD6qM0y9z4W7RQPor5b8ecafs0ppl1iVtRZzR2pLmx8bygW5y33272BDpDzgDko3QuMbDe8c4BK8yiRg9I5o0701u69uC) [CallHub](https://callhub.io/) allows users to schedule their messages and set up automatic replies. This is especially useful for brands with an international audience across different time zones.  They also offer a pay-as-you-go plan so for fair usage and fees.  #### **SimpleTexting** ![y9p5l RkHcCdEclJcGqvYbOTDXAUc61dczQQANDYMEVbV77qiMC1KLiUGIMb2g1xkrvzjOzjwupH3j3lU1jHlSq4OajIBRVgdX](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/y9p5l_RkHcCdEclJcGqvYbOTDXAUc61dczQQANDYMEVbV77qiMC1KLiUGIMb2g1xkrvzjOzjwupH3j3lU1jHlSq4OajIBRVgdX-PtNyexI9p7ht_kn31LqEHXmk8HYEfHo2KemJT) [SimpleTexting](https://simpletexting.com/) is another great SMS broadcast tool as it has an extensive list of features. This includes the possibility to import your contact list from CSV files or a Google sheet.  Plus, they offer integrations with the top business tools like Zapier, HubSpot, Salesforce, and more.   What Is Email Broadcast? ------------------------ ![Zc0O33NmuoiW1ArAn6C1bSfHg7FFeH5olzTeu](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Zc0O33NmuoiW1ArAn6C1bSfHg7FFeH5olzTeu-4eUmMG4JabslzADgAIjZJFHJW49JGd4iX5vb5CepBmnxHzPzoxZBGweVOXnntpIpjrZ26E0zjayTtnh0UCjHHqajs6hbEF2spK) An email broadcast is when a single email is sent to a group of people at once. It’s also known as email blast and email marketing.   Unlike SMS broadcast, email broadcast can be set up such that its recipients can see who else has been sent the same message. Email broadcast messages can also be configured such that their contents are personalized to the recipient.   Because it supports multimedia features such as images and has no word limit, email broadcasts are commonly used for marketing and promotional purposes.  #### Pros of Email Broadcast * It’s easy to send targeted and personalized messages with email broadcasts.  * There’s a lot of flexibility for design as you can attach images, gifs, and even videos. * It has a high ROI (Return on Investment) of $36. #### Cons of Email Broadcast * It’s not uncommon for email broadcasts to end up in spam. * Because email is more widespread than SMS these days, the chances of your recipients simply skimming over or even skipping your email entirely are high. * Design is key when sending out email marketing broadcasts. This can be time-consuming and tedious. ### Email Broadcast Tools The best email broadcast tools offer a host of features and integrations and aren’t too costly.  Some of these tools mentioned below offer either free trials or free plans so you can test and compare them.  #### HubSpot ![guH0FO4ceM2swofDMB7XfwFKsd9dARlmHtLjsvIANFmjC9k7JbWtwUW66HIkZkbOI2OMjVJNmZd4ZzBcxwQBFA2wOkuq1FnTsws9E7aRhApBY1d 5jIDIL9XtkctQ9YGYwllLLOj](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/guH0FO4ceM2swofDMB7XfwFKsd9dARlmHtLjsvIANFmjC9k7JbWtwUW66HIkZkbOI2OMjVJNmZd4ZzBcxwQBFA2wOkuq1FnTsws9E7aRhApBY1d-5jIDIL9XtkctQ9YGYwllLLOj) [HubSpot](https://www.hubspot.com/?__hstc=126896722.5a0d1a0e3382341c9271bc48f5f4157b.1647780237064.1661925762057.1662011705333.17&__hssc=126896722.3.1662011705333&__hsfp=69242381) is one of the leading software for marketing, sales, and customer service. Their email broadcast tool comes with design templates that you can easily adapt.  It also allows you to carry out A/B testing and provides full analytics so you know what can be improved.  #### Mailchimp ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/xh92ZHsVfrtTOiZAX0WHf6lwddh_72K9IkLVdIQh7NF2DE_rUHEzTkk5LiDx6o2mWw4ibTiqukVViRZGHTsAd9eabue9K1zCYiE_LdWcXkXw0KYoRSNkH39hmMPfU5u2g6Jos7mL) One of the best things about the email broadcast tool [Mailchimp](https://mailchimp.com/) is its integrations. Shopify and Stripe are great ones to have for eCommerce businesses, and integrations with social media platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook also allow you to combine all your marketing efforts.  Mailchimp offers a free plan with basic features. If you’re a new business with a tight marketing budget, this is something worth looking into.  #### Sendinblue ![U52LPhqoElYtH5AsZPH6e8 ZIpb FeNMNrbyze7tKZMniFaeIT 17VpptogW7cZFswvmaFHBiQmu8vXjz zJXcVPGbEV6Gnvy4Fczq1JSWtLhcO993LlJzMAeXlkIbYDV6n86YcE](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/U52LPhqoElYtH5AsZPH6e8-ZIpb-FeNMNrbyze7tKZMniFaeIT_17VpptogW7cZFswvmaFHBiQmu8vXjz-zJXcVPGbEV6Gnvy4Fczq1JSWtLhcO993LlJzMAeXlkIbYDV6n86YcE) [Sendinblue](https://www.sendinblue.com/) has been listed as one of the best email broadcast software for sending out transactional emails. But it can help with so much more than that.  It has a feature that advises you on the best time to send out an email for maximum impact and also offers integrations with CRMs, eCommerce pages, and more.   If you’ve opted to do SMS broadcast and email broadcast, Sendinblue is a great solution as it offers both of these tools. What Is WhatsApp Broadcast? ![U db6SbWFRWJIQX6KtdpfdPxSCaAcq2w8SMWOgXrxogD8QkEI1Cymq qHxtTKXLj3kV116OV6C1](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/U_db6SbWFRWJIQX6KtdpfdPxSCaAcq2w8SMWOgXrxogD8QkEI1Cymq-qHxtTKXLj3kV116OV6C1-D3i8VxKCCh1HoDw51q5IGV7RaWEgaJqpbB73FYrnT3DGc0_vF1KMEqopKSlH) Having covered SMS and email broadcast above, it should be clear what WhatsApp broadcast is.  As you’ll probably have guessed, WhatsApp broadcast pertains to sending a message to several recipients at the same time via WhatsApp, the world’s most popular chat app.  Like SMS broadcasts, WhatsApp broadcast messages appear to their recipients as individual messages. We won’t go into the full features of WhatsApp broadcast as we’ve covered them in a previous post.  WhatsApp broadcast is often confused with WhatsApp group. The two are different in that messages in WhatsApp groups are visible to all participants, whereas WhatsApp broadcast conversations are private between the sender and the receiver only.  #### Pros of WhatsApp Broadcast * Recipients cannot tell whether the message they received was mass sent.  * WhatsApp broadcast messages can make use of all WhatsApp features, including media sharing, location sharing, and more. * You can save your WhatsApp broadcast recipient list for future messages so you don’t have to select all of them every time you want to send out a broadcast. #### Cons of WhatsApp Broadcast * WhatsApp has strict policies in place. Businesses must acquire explicit consent from customers before sending them messages or face penalties.  * WhatsApp broadcast messages will only be received by people who have saved you as a contact (more on this later). * Unlike SMS, which works on all mobile phones and comes pre-installed, WhatsApp is an additional app that needs to be downloaded and works on smartphones only. ### WhatsApp Broadcast Tools While there are many different tools and software available for SMS and email broadcast, there are essentially only three WhatsApp broadcast tools.  This is because WhatsApp is an app and a platform on its own, whereas SMS and email are methods of communication that can be carried out across different channels.  What this means is that WhatsApp broadcast is available on three different WhatsApp products: WhatsApp Messenger, the free WhatsApp Business app, and the **[WhatsApp Business API](https://business.whatstool.in/)**.   #### WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business App ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_Snm1tzjnRntah4qoOPYWNlGdDz0lLby1eEogCVVMqtl8bCpX4Bp4Er19hqGefQAkcZErXzVHqXMpeJjIHAFgn9n2cKY9I1juNwgvYR51AAX0i1KD8ivFGkNRfxmRcZh_SfqLUWC) The WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business apps are free to download. Both come with broadcast features that are very easy to use.   Though there’s no limit on the number of lists you can create, each list is allowed a maximum of 256 contacts.   #### WhatsApp Business API ![RjgYMRG3qNPUBwiEPiP4x9zTTl PUOHH9YxuYwQ7M K7pqzTxQWH38ww3ApWT51h0d5JNr8aVJ IVb4iy8Lw6TldT3cnO4rhiv1MYxaOHLkEHAEPmp1uaXgZa0LcfsEMlWDF i](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/RjgYMRG3qNPUBwiEPiP4x9zTTl_PUOHH9YxuYwQ7M-K7pqzTxQWH38ww3ApWT51h0d5JNr8aVJ_-IVb4iy8Lw6TldT3cnO4rhiv1MYxaOHLkEHAEPmp1uaXgZa0LcfsEMlWDF--i) Because the WhatsApp Business API has more enterprise features, there are lots more businesses that can do with WhatsApp broadcasts.  For starters, you can schedule your broadcasts to go out at predetermined times and recipients also don’t need to have their number saved to receive your broadcasts. Plus, there’s also no 256-contact limit.  WhatsApp vs SMS vs Email Broadcast ---------------------------------- So, should you opt for SMS, email, or WhatsApp broadcast?  There’s no one-size-fits-all answer and it will ultimately depend on your business needs and what your target audience prefers.  As mentioned earlier, SMS broadcasts work better for notifications, due to their text-only nature and short word limit. Emails, on the other hand, are more commonly used for newsletters.  With WhatsApp broadcast, you have more possibilities to adapt and customize your messages thanks to its features. As the world’s most popular chat app with over two billion users worldwide, the chances of your target buyer being active on WhatsApp are also pretty high.  That being said, neither of these is mutually exclusive, so you’re free to give them all a try and see what works best for you.  Read Other Blogs -  [View](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/)​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

What Is SMS Marketing?  ----------------------- SMS, which stands for Short Message Service, is a form of text messaging used by consumers worldwide. Though it was first invented as early on as in the 1980s, it wasn’t until the 1990s that SMS began to take off.  First adopted by consumers to chat and keep in touch with one another, it didn’t take long for businesses to recognize the potential of SMS and include it as part of their wider marketing strategy.  Since then and till today, businesses continue to use SMS marketing to promote their products and services and keep in touch with their buyers.  Unlike other forms of marketing like social media, email, or ads, SMS marketing takes place exclusively on mobile devices. Advantages of SMS Marketing So what makes SMS marketing so popular?  While there are tons of advantages of SMS marketing, the main comparisons we’re going to make in this article are with WhatsApp marketing. ### Use of Cellular Networks One of the biggest benefits of SMS marketing is that it operates on cellular networks, as opposed to data packs and internet connections.  This means that texts sent via SMS marketing will still be able to go through even when internet connections are spotty. ### No Smartphone Needed Even though smartphones have become part and parcel of the daily lives of most consumers worldwide, there’s still quite a significant number of people who don’t own smartphones.  Recent statistics show that even in the US, 11% of US adults own cell phones that aren’t smartphones.   This figure rises to 19% for those with lower incomes (earning less than $30,000 per year) and even higher at 29% for those aged 65 and above.   That said if your target audience includes consumers within this demographic, SMS marketing could be a great way to reach them. ### No Extra App Needed Unlike WhatsApp, be it WhatsApp Messenger or the free WhatsApp Business app, SMS use does not require an additional app.  Today, all phones, regardless of whether it’s a smartphones, come pre-installed with SMS capabilities. This is independent of the phone’s make, model, brand, and country it’s sold.  What Is WhatsApp Marketing? ![nUbmIb X08uDG97ErCNcksKlgXiGvmZdtBbtNwP24qItMnSici0 h03e4wI740SxxEOmdzinN9XvWiUr06hjhTU9JSgn6Yjr w5i 45zaBmRiPuoLc5FSHmgOFE22273P96q2Ww](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/nUbmIb_X08uDG97ErCNcksKlgXiGvmZdtBbtNwP24qItMnSici0-h03e4wI740SxxEOmdzinN9XvWiUr06hjhTU9JSgn6Yjr_-w5i-45zaBmRiPuoLc5FSHmgOFE22273P96q2Ww) Compared to SMS marketing, WhatsApp marketing is fairly new.  The concept only came about after WhatsApp Messenger was invented in 2009, and the official Business app was launched only as recently as 2018.  Despite its much shorter existence, **WhatsApp has been a massive success story for both consumers and businesses.**   Today, it’s used by billions of consumers worldwide and has become the default go-to option for many brands when it comes to text-based messaging. The company reported that as of July 2020, there were 50 million monthly active businesses worldwide using its free WhatsApp Business app – just two years after its launch.  The advantages of SMS marketing have been laid out in the previous section. But what is it about WhatsApp marketing that makes businesses prefer it over SMS?   Let’s have a look at some of the biggest benefits of WhatsApp marketing over SMS marketing.  Advantages of WhatsApp Marketing -------------------------------- ### Multimedia Messaging Options Though classified as a text-based communication tool, WhatsApp does much more than that.   For starters, users can also integrate emojis into their texts to liven up their messages. If that’s not enough, they can also send stickers and GIFs to better illustrate their mood.  WhatsApp even goes one step further by allowing rich media files like audio (both voice messages and audio files) and video files to be sent. These are particularly practical for businesses that may need to offer a 360-degree view of their product, and certainly one of the **advantages of a WhatsApp Business account.**  ### Richer Features Multimedia messaging aside, WhatsApp marketing also comes with a host of rich features.  Integrated options like the ability to share live locations, contact info, and a range of file types from .pdf to .doc boost communication possibilities with WhatsApp.  Users can also place voice and video calls whenever needed and within WhatsApp itself, which means that they don’t need to download a separate app or even leave the app to take advantage of these features.  ### Encrypted Messages ![hDDEvhN5xvPNXsJrRhClo7Ayg75 tWshe8sMnfXLvDLNgdHOw9OTf37zCIVzb4TX2vKoKIA7sq1E9tLutV4H4dgpfDMQlu LKjs8 taSqM](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/hDDEvhN5xvPNXsJrRhClo7Ayg75_tWshe8sMnfXLvDLNgdHOw9OTf37zCIVzb4TX2vKoKIA7sq1E9tLutV4H4dgpfDMQlu_LKjs8-taSqM-cXAJcxVgaAlbkUOYPiq25GPx01X4w) One of WhatsApp marketing’s biggest selling points is its encryption.   As stated on their website, all messages sent via WhatsApp, including those sent to and from business accounts, are end-to-end encrypted. This means that only the senders and recipients can read (or listen to) what’s being sent – not even WhatsApp itself can decrypt and read your messages.  This is an extremely important feature for both businesses and consumers as it safeguards sensitive information like billing details, addresses, and more.  Plus, among one of WhatsApp’s newest features introduced in 2021 is its disappearing messages. With this, users can send media files that can only be viewed once by the recipient (at his or her time of choosing) before it’s deleted. ### More Popular And Quick to Set Up A recent study shows WhatsApp as the world leader in messaging apps. Of 90 countries studied, WhatsApp comes out as the population’s favourite in 53 of them.  Its popularity means there are plenty of consumers that can be reached via WhatsApp marketing. And that’s not all.  WhatsApp marketing is also very easy to set up on both the free WhatsApp Business app and the **[WhatsApp Business API](https://business.whatstool.in/)** (more on this later).  If you’re using the free app for your WhatsApp marketing efforts, all you need is to fill in your business profile and set up your away messages and quick replies and you’re all set.   ### More Integrations Another benefit that’s exclusive to WhatsApp marketing is its visual integrations with other popular apps like Instagram, YouTube, and Netflix.  For instance, when sharing Instagram content on WhatsApp, the post appears in its entirety in the WhatsApp chat instead of just the link. This means that recipients of this message can view and enjoy it immediately without needing to exit WhatsApp and open Instagram or a browser.  Likewise, there are also built-in players in WhatsApp for Netflix and YouTube so that videos from these platforms can be shared and watched within WhatsApp itself when shared.  WhatsApp Marketing Softwares ---------------------------- ![xAiZhqow8ix0meBXaiDsLEHN LppsBU GFwBOXi8pv 9DXRhtHWsHQCWiSwvOCA0yjCHXnrEpweLO6JJl5ia7Y5hO 2PIJeGRDeBTOsQE6bNwtBY5i90baGupZtQykD0K Kkyd1d](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/xAiZhqow8ix0meBXaiDsLEHN-LppsBU_GFwBOXi8pv_9DXRhtHWsHQCWiSwvOCA0yjCHXnrEpweLO6JJl5ia7Y5hO_2PIJeGRDeBTOsQE6bNwtBY5i90baGupZtQykD0K-Kkyd1d) Now that we’ve laid out the pros and cons of SMS marketing and WhatsApp marketing, the next step would be to think about what type of software to choose to execute your text-based marketing efforts.  Here’s the good news: SMS marketing and WhatsApp marketing aren’t mutually exclusive. This means that you can easily do both.   However, if you’re looking to do just one, you’ll have to look closely at the benefits and limitations of each and analyze how they fit into your business needs.  Our general advice is that unless the advantages that are unique to SMS marketing are dealbreakers, WhatsApp marketing would be the better option. That’s because it’s able to offer what SMS marketing can and lots more.  Additionally, WhatsApp also offers a more advanced tool, the WhatsApp Business API, that gives brands more enterprise-level options to help to grow their business.  **WHATSTOOL** is an official WhatsApp Business Service Provider (BSP) and can not only get you access to the WhatsApp API but also guide you through the entire setup process and answer any questions you may have.

Here’s a look at some use cases and examples of how brands leverage WhatsApp Business automation features._ From customer service to sales and marketing, there are many important aspects to running and promoting a business on WhatsApp – each important in its unique way.   As a small business owner, attempting to handle them all on your own is no piece of the cake. Even large enterprises with specialized departments could use an extra pair of hands now and then as work piles up.  Enter: WhatsApp Business Automation In this post, we’ll look at what WhatsApp Business automation is, how it works, and some use cases and examples to inspire you.  What Are WhatsApp Business Automated Messages? ---------------------------------------------- WhatsApp Business automated messages are pre-programmed replies sent to incoming messages from prospective or existing customers on WhatsApp.  These replies are set up in a way that they are sent out automatically, without the need for any intervention from a human agent.   ### WhatsApp Business Automation: How It Works One way WhatsApp Business automation works are through keywords. You can program it such that when a particular keyword in a message is detected, a pre-defined response is sent out.  One straightforward example (and we’ll see more of these later) would be a simple “hello” sent from a customer to a brand. Upon detecting the keyword “hello,” an automatic reply is sent.  ![97m2kVHTJ11aN0IWqDVCbg8uwKqjK4A5S hdzzQqvfHOYYPLJOhwkMsJIbtMiv](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/97m2kVHTJ11aN0IWqDVCbg8uwKqjK4A5S_hdzzQqvfHOYYPLJOhwkMsJIbtMiv-kluqnYhyQprigogJpdEGOM1qCO6bBbjibyfjL6q7R68SDr4esF1r7R54WOixpgQxzT1IX4Ovu) Apart from the initial set-up of this response, there’s essentially zero effort required from anyone. Sure, it only takes a matter of seconds to craft a quick reply, but these seconds add up to valuable time, especially if you’re handling dozens or even hundreds of queries every hour.   Another way automated messages on WhatsApp Business work is through milestone triggers. This works through WhatsApp integrations with, for example, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform.  Once a milestone is reached, it triggers the system to send out a message to the customer. An example would be an online purchase that triggers a thank you and confirmation message for the customer.  ![v1RNyURHki1KMtZOR7Pz5uajEZvLcFy2qoT3vP9UmDZzhVC771640 kZx gzeHf25oUk8BppOoTE154rxOj3WFNtt4A1TsaTuGdRB9TlOfgr0C195FYiCS eNvpG5pxKIgu Z5P0](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/v1RNyURHki1KMtZOR7Pz5uajEZvLcFy2qoT3vP9UmDZzhVC771640_kZx_gzeHf25oUk8BppOoTE154rxOj3WFNtt4A1TsaTuGdRB9TlOfgr0C195FYiCS-eNvpG5pxKIgu-Z5P0) ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### Benefits of WhatsApp Business Automation So why should you invest time and energy into setting up WhatsApp Business automation? Because of the benefits, it offers to the business. Here are three main ones: * **It reduces response time.** 75% of consumers expect businesses to respond within 24 hours with 35% of them expecting to wait a maximum of one hour. The quicker the response time, the more satisfied the customer.  * **It free your agents up for other pressing issues.** Instead of attending to common queries, which can be easily handled by WhatsApp Business automation, your customer service agents can use the extra time to handle other more urgent matters, such as cases that require their attention. * **It increases conversion rates.** Happy customers tend to purchase more and have a higher chance of becoming recurring and loyal customers. By automating your WhatsApp responses, you can guide customers down the sales funnel effortlessly and encourage them to purchase from you. Use Cases And Examples of WhatsApp Business Automation ------------------------------------------------------ ### WhatsApp Business Automation: Greetings By far, one of the most common ways businesses use WhatsApp Business automation is to greet their customers.   We’ve already shown you a simple example of how that’s done above.  But if you want to fully leverage the full features of WhatsApp Business, you can take a page out of our playbook at WHATSTOOL.   We’ve integrated WhatsApp Business automation into our homepage via a chatbot. At the bottom right corner, users have the option to start chatting with us via a pop-up option. ![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/ob88Al5RsiWSL03OJ_CJ88So_7rzBQGsd1v__xKNaWWDFsj2CuofGbz8z_GaD8nhmgojYJ8eY7H4geK7fPsSwoNhbS9a5Op0huQCBoNeKuEIcTUCiSeWdHYAehGqrtvhwLkSWbh9) Clicking on the green “start chat” opens up a direct chat with us on WhatsApp. There’s even a pre-filled message so that users don’t have to type in anything and can just hit enter (assuming they’re satisfied with the message, of course).    Thanks to WhatsApp Business automation, immediately after sending this message, users will get a reply from us. Essentially, what we’ve done is configure our automated messages such that an interim response is sent out upon detecting the pre-filled message sent to us.  **Bonus tip:** WhatsApp’s automated messages can also make use of the platform’s multimedia features. You can use that to your advantage, for instance, as we do here, by sending over a PDF file with everything a user needs to know about our company. WhatsApp Business Automation: Shipment And Tracking Notification Another popular way companies use WhatsApp Business automation is to send out shipping and tracking information.  This is especially useful for businesses with a need to keep their customers apprised of their shipments.  Here, for instance, is an automated message sent from a bank to a customer who’s just signed up for a credit card with them. In this case, the automated message on WhatsApp was triggered by the milestone reached when a customer ordered a credit card with them.  As seen with the “Track Order” button in this example, you can also use WhatsApp’s interactive message features when programming your automated replies.   ### WhatsApp Business Automation: Sales And Marketing Messages Another way to leverage WhatsApp Business automation is with marketing messages.  Like shipment and tracking notifications, these are usually triggered by milestones.  Here, we see an example of an insurance company following through with a customer after a milestone is reached.   The business sends a follow-up message to a customer who’s landed on their homepage and opted to receive communication from them.   Note how they’ve also made use of the possibility to attach media files on WhatsApp to enhance their message.   If you’re thinking about initiating an automated WhatsApp message flow for sales and marketing purposes, note that you will need to first obtain explicit permission from your prospects to send them communication messages. You’ll find more information about this requirement here.   ### WhatsApp Business Automation: Reminders Notifications and reminders are also common ways of using WhatsApp automation.  Whether it’s a discount code that’s about to expire or a reminder for an entitled free service, these can also be pre-programmed to be sent out at specific moments.  In this use case, an insurance company has sent out an automated WhatsApp message to its customer about a free health check-up he/she qualifies for after signing up for a policy with them.  ### WhatsApp Business Automation: Away Messages Most of the examples of WhatsApp Business automated messages listed above are only possible with the **[WhatsApp Business API](https://business.whatstool.in/)**.   Automated away messages, however, can be set up on both the free WhatsApp Business app as well as the API.   Here’s an example of how an automated away message works.  Say you’ve received a message from a customer past your opening hours. You can configure your WhatsApp settings such that incoming messages received during a specific time frame are responded to with an automated away message.   **Tip:** Being away or out of the office means you’re unable to attend to your customers’ queries immediately. When setting up automated away messages, make sure to let your customers know when they can expect to hear back from you and guide them to resources like a help page or an FAQ page where possible to reduce resolution time.   This can be done through a **[WhatsApp chatbot](https://business.whatstool.in/)**, whose purpose includes attending to customers during non-working hours and handling multiple conversations at the same time.  Getting Started With WhatsApp Business Automation ------------------------------------------------- If you’re keen to start creating WhatsApp Business automated messages, it’s important to know that the best way to take full advantage of it is via the WhatsApp Business API.  Most of the automation features mentioned above can only be done so through API integrations. Even though you can also set up automated messages on the free WhatsApp Business app, you’re a lot more limited in terms of options and scope.  Read Other Blogs -  [View](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/)​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

In the last three years, customers communicated with multiple businesses on WhatsApp and asked for certain items, perks, and offers/discounts before making a purchase.  Considering that, WhatsApp has recently started to approve personalized promotional message templates that can be used for remarketing & re-engagement.  To be precise, A **promotional message template** will be a non-transactional message that will allow businesses to update their customers when certain products come back in stock, certain offers & discounts, App promotions, cart-recovery messages, etc.  Here are some possible use cases of WhatsApp Promotional Message Templates: 1. Direct promotions- businesses may be able to send messages based on the past purchases of their customers. E.g. Hey Laura, We hope you would like to see our new collection of black and white shoes- {Link}. App Download- A business may ask users to download their App from app stores.  Our clients managed to recover more than a million USD with these remarketing messages in 2021.  Here are a few examples of WhatsApp Promotional Messages to start with.  ### **1\. Festival Sale Offers** With such templates, you can provide a personalized shopping package to your most engaged buyers during a festival or special season. These offers are really effective when a user searches for coupon codes on your website.  ### **2\. Monthly Sale Offers** These non-transactional promotional messages should be sent for a limited period when customers would love to buy certain trending items. _Valentine’s week is here. Check out our latest collection for Teddy Day which can make your partner fall in love with you more than ever. Apply ‘**20TeddyOff**‘ to avail 20% discount on selected items._  ### **3\. Discount Offers** You can offer discounts to upsell certain items when someone makes a purchase on your website. These promotional messages should be sent when customers are actively communicating with you regarding the status of their items.  Sending these promotional messages as a cold promotion may annoy your users.  _OMG!! 🔥🔥🔥 The biggest Electronics Sales starts from 19th October. 💻📱🎧 Get up to 50% Off on selected laptops & accessories. Pre-register before 10th October to participate._  _Hi {{name}}, Thank you for ordering 1 Medium Pan Pizza with us. Reply with ‘**Off20Next**‘ in the next 30 minutes to get an instant 20% off on your next meal. Send ‘STOP’ to opt out._ **How To Broadcast Promotional Messages With WhatsApp Business API?** --------------------------------------------------------------------- WhatsApp names these message templates as ‘non-transactional message templates’. You can send promotional messages to your list of contacts using WHATSTOOL. WHATSTOOL has a self-service dashboard to allow you to send template messages for approval. When you [create an account on WHATSTOOL](https://business.whatstool.in/), you can use the Broadcast module to send these promotional messages.  > **Read: [How To Create A WhatsApp Message Template](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/how-to-sync-new-whatsapp-templates-to-crm/).** **Note:** To get a promotional template approved, select ALERT\_UPDATE as the category. **Step 1:** On the WHATSTOOL Dashboard, navigate to the ‘Broadcasts’ tab. **Step 2:** Click on the ‘New Broadcast’ button on the top-right side. **Step 3:** Add the broadcast name, choose the WhatsApp message template and choose the time when you want to send the message. Click on ‘Next‘. **Step 4:** Choose from a list of your contacts or upload your list of contacts. Click on ‘Add Broadcast’. **Step 5:** Track your broadcast status and analytics. Inside Team Inbox, You can track how many users read your messages and how many replied to your messages.  **Eligibility To Send Non-transactional Template Messages On WhatsApp** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to broadcast promotional messages to thousands of your customers then you must [Apply for the WhatsApp Business API](https://business.whatstool.in/). If you already have the WhatsApp API-approved number, you can start a promotional/non-transactional broadcast. **Prerequisites to start a broadcast for promotions on WhatsApp:** * Businesses must have the access to WhatsApp Business API. **Considerations & Restrictions** * To send promotional templates, Businesses must get opt-in from their users and opt-ins need to adhere to WhatsApp opt-in policy guidelines. * Every promotional template message will be reviewed. Daily Newsletters and unnecessary notifications are still not allowed. * Businesses must follow WhatsApp’s policies. **WhatsApp Promotional Messages: Do’s & Don’ts:** ------------------------------------------------- Great powers come with great responsibility.  Now, as you can send offers/discounts on WhatsApp, you must ensure a good customer experience through WhatsApp communication.  Here are a few points to ponder: **1.** Always broadcast personalized offers to customers. **2.** Avoid pushing remarketing messages to less engaged users. **3.** Do not over-broadcast promotional messages as it may result in account reporting and your Quality Rating may go down. **4.** Establish continuous & helpful communication with your customers on WhatsApp. **Future Of Promotional Messages On WhatsApp** ---------------------------------------------- For now, all I can say is WhatsApp does not want to make its platform a place of spam.  WhatsApp understands that users may want to get some kind of updates from the business hence it is proceeding in that direction where it’ll allow businesses to favour their customers by following certain WhatsApp Template message guidelines. Businesses should continue providing a rich experience to their customers on WhatsApp. With these non-transactional promotional messages, they can continue to grow, keeping their users’ interest on priority.

This type of massage offers a simpler and more consistent way for users to make a selection when interacting with your **[WhatsApp Business Chatbot](https://business.whatstool.in/)**. These messages have a variety of use cases including Multiple Menu Items & Product Choices. In other words, WhatsApp list messages are a great way to offer your clients an overview of their options. For instance, they can be used to offer alternatives for: * Delivery times (for last-mile logistics companies) * Appointments (for any business requiring appointments: clinics, hairdressers, etc.) * Food menus (for restaurants) * Store locations (for businesses with several outlets) ### **Reply Buttons-** These WhatsApp Business API messages include up to 3 options buttons. Reply buttons offer a quicker way for users to make a selection from a menu when interacting with a business. Reply buttons work well for quick responses such as Yes / No answers, Picking up a slot for an appointment, or selecting from previously saved addresses on WhatsApp eCommerce. Here’s an example of what a WhatsApp list message sent from a business might look like: Note: Contrary to popular belief, WhatsApp list messages are not considered to be what WhatsApp calls “template messages.” This means that these messages do not need to be pre-approved by WhatsApp and nor do they require templates. **Why Should You Use WhatsApp List Messages?** ---------------------------------------------- These interactive messages are a huge time saver & enable you to build rich experiences across your customers. A few use cases- List Messages are best for presenting several options, such as: * A customer care or FAQ menu * A take-out menu * Selection of nearby stores or locations * Available reservation times * Choosing a recent order to repeat Reply Buttons are best for offering quick responses from a limited set of options, such as: * Airtime recharge * Changing personal details * Reordering a previous order * Requesting a return * Adding optional extras to a food order * Choosing a payment method Reply buttons are particularly valuable for ‘personalized’ use cases where a generic response is not adequate. Things To Always Keep In Mind  While these are exciting messaging features for your WhatsApp Business, there are a few things that you should keep in mind when deploying these interactive messages.  * Interactive messages can be combined together in the same flow.  * Users cannot select more than one option at the same time from a list or button message, but they can go back and re-open a previous message.  * List or reply button messages cannot be used as notifications. Currently, they can only be sent within 24 hours of the last message sent by the user. If you try to send a message outside the 24-hour window, you get an error message.  * Supported platforms: iOS, Android, and web. **How To Get WhatsApp List Messages?** ----------------------------------------- Keen to start sending WhatsApp list messages and get that interaction going? There’s one last thing you need to know.  Because of the heavy coding nature required to build them, WhatsApp list messages are currently only available on the **[WhatsApp Business API](https://business.whatstool.in/)**.  Unfortunately, if you’re using the free WhatsApp Business app, you will not have access to this feature.  Read Other Blogs -  [view](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/tag/crm/)​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

So while your team might only be interacting with your customers at that time, your customers will keep coming to your business number in their own time. _**How would you reply to a potential customer at 12 o’clock at night?**_ Thus, you may lose some businesses as people generally interact in their free time. When you set up a WhatsApp away message it tells your customers that you’re away and encourages them to interact with you again. An away message is far better than a no reply at all.  As WhatsApp business App comes with a purpose to help you grow your business, it allows you to set automated WhatsApp replies. You can also schedule them as per your desired hours. Considering you’ve already registered on the WhatsApp business, Here are the steps to enable auto-reply for WhatsApp Business App: **Step 1- Go to Settings:** Open the WhatsApp Business and tap on the three dots in the upper right corner of the Chat window.

When you verify your Facebook business manager account, you get access to different tools and products and it’s the stepping stone to accessing WhatsApp Business API to build chatbots. Why you should verify your Facebook Business Manager account? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Many Facebook advertising accounts are terminated for a variety of reasons. The Facebook Business Manager’s Business Verification feature is one potential aid.  The closure of Facebook ad accounts could be caused by a variety of circumstances. Facebook sites have also been banned despite doing nothing wrong and having their accounts falsely flagged. If the ad’s substance is even somewhat connected to politics or social issues, it may be related to election season and increased scrutiny.  Facebook has frequently requested that business manager accounts in these situations get their business accounts verified.  Business verification does not imply that all issues are resolved. Facebook’s preference for verified business manager accounts over unverified business manager accounts only helps. If you do not have a Facebook Business Manager Account, you can create one by visiting this [link](https://business.facebook.com/create).  Now, let’s talk about how you can complete Facebook Business Verification. Steps to verify Facebook business manager account ------------------------------------------------- **Step 1:** Go to [Facebook Business Manager.](https://business.facebook.com/)   **Step 2:** Select the business account if you already have a business. If you do not have a Facebook Business Manager account, you can create one by visiting this [link](https://business.facebook.com/create). ​**Step 3:** On the left navigation, click on the **‘Business Settings’** option. ​**Step 4:**  Go to **‘Security Centre** on the left navigation from the **‘Business Setting** page. ​**Step 5:** Click on the **‘Start Verification’** button. ​**Step 6:** Fill in your Business Details on the following form. How Long does it take to verify a Facebook Business manager account? -------------------------------------------------------------------- ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/frame-924-1661325141392-compressed.png) After applying for verification, it might take 1-5 business days to get a reply back from Facebook.

In some cases, no documents are required for Facebook Business Verification because Facebook may be able to match your business against the publicly available records. In that case,  select from the list of publicly available records that Facebook shares with you. Facebook Business Verification matches your details against public records. However, if Facebook couldn’t find any details, you must submit the following documents. ### Documents to submit to verify Facebook Business Manager Account 1. Legal Name Document – One of the below documents – Business Registration (BR) – Company Incorporation Certificate – Tax/VAT Certificate 2. Address Proof Document – One of the below documents – Bank Account Statement – Utility Bill (Phone/Electricity Bill) A one-time password (OTP) will be issued to you through text, email, or phone call as soon as you have submitted the required documentation to Facebook Business Manager for verification.   The phone number option is still unavailable for some nations. You should receive the verification code right away.   You can ask for a new one if it isn’t there.

To complete this step, you should receive a verification code sent to your company’s phone number or email address.  Do all businesses need to go through Business Verification? ----------------------------------------------------------- Not every company must undergo business verification. You only have to confirm your business if you wish to use a certain product or feature, like  **Developer Features:** Only companies with apps whose app reviews have begun or ended for certain APIs are eligible for business verification. When your app has been approved for these APIs and you are a business developer, you will get a notification in your app dashboard inbox requesting you to complete Facebook business verification.  **Instant Games:** All Instant Game creators are required to complete the business verification process and submit their apps for evaluation. Only verified developers can distribute their games as a result.  **News Page:** Publishers who want to submit their Page for inclusion in the [news Page index](https://www.facebook.com/business/help/377680816096171?id=644465919618833) must first validate their company. **Meta Business Partners:** To participate in the programme as a badged partner, all participants must have a verified business.

Telehealth solutions are necessary because of the rising demand for high-quality medical services. Hospitals have started using WhatsApp to give their clients the best service.  For instance, UMP Healthcare Holdings Limited has recently launched a WhatsApp appointment system. It enables customers to – Check medical reports – Make appointments by sending WhatsApp messages which reduces the hospital staff’s workload. WhatsApp for Healthcare: The Problem --------------------------------------- Traditional hospital practices cannot meet the demands of an increasing number of individuals who want access to high-quality healthcare without the hurdles of face-to-face interaction that deter many from seeking treatment.  Customers schedule appointments for medical checkups via phone calls and internet tools. But, using such channels prevents users from asking follow-up questions in real-time.  Customers also find it hard to record their physical examination details over the phone. Due to the large volume of phone calls per day, customers had to wait long before a live person could take their call. WhatsApp for Healthcare: The Solution ------------------------------------- ​​Today, WhatsApp makes user journeys much more straightforward than if they were offline. Also, the WhatsApp Business features have a lot to offer the healthcare industry in speed and accuracy. The World Health Organisation (WHO) partnered with WhatsApp to create awareness of COVID-19. Customers can converse on WhatsApp to get the \-Latest information and news \-Help in identifying symptoms \-And precautionary steps. According to a research article published by the Israel Journal of Health Policy Research, the requirement for in-person appointments at least once a week has decreased due to WhatsApp, according to 95.7 per cent of medical specialists and 60.7% of Physical Care Physicians. With WhatsApp being the most popular messaging platform, it’s a necessity for hospitals to move to this messaging platform. But one cannot just use the standard WhatsApp account to solve this problem. What you’ll need instead is WhatsApp Business API. **Check out our WhatsApp for healthcare use cases.** WhatsApp Business API for the healthcare industry ------------------------------------------------- Using WhatsApp Business API in the healthcare industry is not a new concept. However, combining the advantages of healthcare services with the reach and strength of the world’s most potent instant messaging app is the only better method to improve this industry and please the customers. For instance, there are a **lot of proven WhatsApp for healthcare solutions** that medical institutions can embrace in their strategy, starting with the  WhatsApp chatbot. WhatsApp chatbot for Healthcare ------------------------------- ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/group-1041-1661176887202-compressed.png) When providing prompt assistance to patients in need, a WhatsApp chatbot will save time, money, and hassle. Hospitals can roll out WhatsApp chatbots to help people find medical facilities or ward information. By automating conversations through WhatsApp, hospitals can scale up and reach more people at once! The healthcare sector can use WhatsApp’s popularity to interact with its stakeholders. A WhatsApp chatbot for healthcare will comprehend user behaviour through crafted algorithms. A well-set-up chatbot will provide a deeper and more individualised customer experience. Some WhatsApp chatbot use cases can be pretty beneficial to hospitals and patients. Let’s look at them. ### Streamline the appointment process with a chatbot Patients can schedule appointments with the aid of a WhatsApp Chabot. The chatbot can direct the patient to a specific department or doctor within the hospital. The chatbot may also help patients make appointments for consultations, checkups, and even check a doctor’s schedules. It’s not just that; WhatsApp chatbots can help with appointment reminders. Patients will get frustrated if they miss an appointment. There is a chance that patients would overlook the precise hours and schedules while making an appointment, mainly when doing so online. A WhatsApp chatbot can provide patients with timely appointment reminders and confirmation messages. For example, Hong kong-based UMP healthcare launched the WhatsApp reservation system developed by WATI (WhatsApp Team Inbox), the official partner of WhatsApp. Customers can obtain the required information for physical examination by entering the numbers. Then, they can make an appointment request with the contact information, and the customer service will confirm the booking within 24 hrs. ![1](https://www.wati.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1-1024x465.png) In this way, the customers no longer have to wait on the call but send WhatsApp messages and wait for a reply. On the other hand, the frontline staff in the Call Center can relieve the workload of explanation and directly get to the point. ![2](https://www.wati.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2-1024x595.png) Also, the chatbot will only send pre-set questions with canned answers, which consumers can effortlessly complete the query.  Now that you’ve captured the data, what can it do with it? Can it be used for consultations? Yes, it can be. ### Gathering data for faster medical evaluation The healthcare centre could also ask the patients to fill in their data through WhatsApp. Then, when patients arrive at the clinic, they can immediately have their bodies checked after a simple registration. The process is remarkably streamlined, reducing the waiting time in the clinic.  ![3.jpeg](https://www.wati.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/3.jpeg-1024x498.jpg) With WhatsApp Business API, many hospital institutions have designed various customer enquiry processes. Before proceeding with the conversation, the chatbot will require the users to agree to terms and conditions to ensure the customers understand that they might have to disclose some personal information during the process. An excellent example in this scenario is symptom evaluation ### Symptom evaluation Now, patients can use their smartphone or any other device to describe their symptoms to chatbots. Accordingly, the chatbot can recommend a specialist or doctor based on symptoms. Patients need not call a medical expert or support team to get clarification. Additionally, it helps doctors develop trust with their patients and acquire many leads. Now that the customers have shared their data, record-keeping for future evaluations is the next area to explore. ### Record keeping to access the patient health records For doctors or hospital personnel, gaining access to each patient’s medical records is a monumental undertaking. Doctors can get all pertinent patient information using WhatsApp Business.  In addition, healthcare firms can store patient medical data by combining WhatsApp Business API with third-party technologies. This feature allows doctors to give their patients appropriate care quickly. ### Sharing crucial medical information and reminders Test results can be successfully communicated by hospitals using a WhatsApp chatbot. Thus, patients can better manage their time by avoiding travel to obtain the reports from the centre. Additionally, patients can use the chatbot to schedule tests, see pending reports, and request reports. Healthcare firms may build close relationships with their patient's thanks to these individualised, prompt responses, which can increase customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. You can even go further by sharing tips on looking after yourself. ### Sharing health tips To encourage general good health and eating habits, a WhatsApp chatbot for healthcare may effortlessly provide daily health suggestions like  Sharing health tips encourages people to lead healthier lifestyles and increases the value of your brand as a whole. Also, online counselling be offered since we touched on mental health? Yes. * Exercising * Keeping up with hygiene * Eating a balanced diet. * Healthy lifestyle * Managing mental health * Sleep habits and much more ### Mental Health Counselling You can conduct counselling sessions for mental health issues using WhatsApp for outpatients or people who live far away. WhatsApp Business API can make this activity more straightforward, allowing multiple doctors to offer immediate counselling services and urgent assistance in an emergency. Patients can also use WhatsApp to express their struggles if they have issues talking in person or find it difficult to open up to someone they don’t know. ### Payments and health insurance guidance Regarding health care, payments and health insurance claims go hand-in-hand. Patients can pay online while scheduling a doctor’s appointment, streamlining and further simplifying the multi-step procedure that was previously complicated and tiresome for patients. Additionally, insurance entails mountains of paperwork, receipts, and inquiries. With WhatsApp’s chatbot, patients can now quickly get their questions answered. It is also possible to upload required papers in the chat by taking pictures and uploading them. ### Collaboration within the hospital staff The hospital staff can also benefit from a WhatsApp chatbot for healthcare. For example, through a straightforward inquiry in the WhatsApp chatbot, information regarding the availability or status of  \-Equipment  \-Wheelchairs  \-Oxygen cylinders, etc.  can be quickly retrieved. ### Collect feedback from patients Every day, hospitals receive many calls, most of which are complaints. Bots can handle these queries, document them, give the customers pertinent information, transfer them to the correct department, and even gather feedback.   Also, Chatbots can forward complex questions to live agents or support teams to investigate further and resolve queries. Patients can even access a history of previous discussions on WhatsApp and any pertinent information shared. ### Bot-to-human handover of interactions The customer care representative can handle complex questions or concerns as and when needed, thanks to a smooth chatbot-to-human handover capability. With this feature, doctors can attend to patients who have specialised questions rather than spending hours responding to common queries that don’t need them to think or strategies. **To get started with WhatsApp for healthcare, you must know how to generate a WhatsApp live chat widget for your website.** With so many benefits to using WhatsApp for healthcare services, there are also some regulations set in place by WhatsApp. WhatsApp for Healthcare policies -------------------------------- When it comes to conducting business on its platform, WhatsApp is stringent. Therefore, you should be aware of the following WhatsApp Business and Commerce policies to prevent violations. WhatsApp Business cannot be used by companies whose primary business is selling medical products. As per WhatsApp’s commerce policy, businesses and pharmacies are not permitted to advertise or sell medications, medical equipment, or other products through WhatsApp. Some pharmacies are, however, permitted to conduct business on WhatsApp if they have _“separate clinical laboratory or patient care services”_ and adhere to the rules listed below: Additionally, selling supplements of any type is not permitted on WhatsApp. You cannot do it through the catalogue, chat threads, business profiles, or message templates.  Also, because of tighter legal constraints regarding health data, medical care providers in the United States or France cannot use WhatsApp services since it doesn’t comply with GDPR and the US HIPA act. * You must specify the type of medical service provided in the WhatsApp business account (Like clinic, lab, vaccines, testing, diagnosis centre). * Your website should show that you offer administering vaccinations and any form of medical testing. WhatsApp for Healthcare - Challenges of record-keeping and data storage ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the COVID-19 epidemic, WhatsApp has become more widely used in healthcare. However, protecting patient data while adding it to an electronic or paper-based medical record is still important. Only 16 of 346 papers reported the use of WhatsApp for healthcare in clinical practice addressed record keeping or data storage. However, most medical clinics knew that they must comply with statutory reporting requirements in keeping medical records of all electronic communications. According to the above study, many clinics are not meeting numerous legal, moral, and best practice standards. The explanations are evident: on the one hand, WhatsApp is widely used, cost-free, simple to use, practical, and fits clinicians’ needs. On the other hand, there isn’t any thorough, uniform, or understandable advice on how to use WhatsApp appropriately or how to move communications to a paper or digital patient record for adequate record-keeping and storage. Problematic methods and workarounds have been developed without clear norms, raising new legal, regulatory, and ethical difficulties. The difficulties clinicians face in fulfilling these commitments must be made more widely known, and relevant authorities must implement effective measures immediately. Clinicians must adhere to jurisdictionally specific legal and ethical obligations to maintain patient records and store patient information in addition to data protection laws. In the past, clinicians kept paper-based files and notes in the patient’s medical records housed in a filing cabinet. More recently, they have used one type of electronic record over another. Patient information is frequently stored on both the senders’ and receivers’ mobile phones due to the rising popularity of smartphones and instant messaging programmes like WhatsApp, neither of which were intended for use in healthcare. To move the data to a medical record and subsequently store the electronic data, proactive measures must be implemented. Contrary to the stricter policies, WhatsApp has also published a guide for Health care professionals that can help them connect better with patients and colleagues. WhatsApp for Healthcare - Guide by WhatsApp  -------------------------------------------- * Set up personalised welcome messages so patients can contact you immediately and receive resources and information. * Make a quick link that patients can use to start a private WhatsApp chat with you if you don’t already have their phone numbers. Share the link on your Facebook page, email, or other private platforms. * To communicate with clients or coworkers who could be challenging to contact in person, use encrypted video and audio communications. * To send the same private message to multiple people, use a broadcast list. WhatsApp will only deliver your broadcast message to contacts who have added you to their phone’s address book. * Keep copies of the messages you send frequently so you can immediately react to patients’ inquiries. * Make sure your patients know your business hours and location, particularly if you have changed them. * You can post text, pictures, and video updates using status. Share advice on good hygiene habits and other preventative measures in case of virus outbreaks. * Use an automatic away message to let patients know when they may expect a response from you during this hectic season. WhatsApp Business for Healthcare: Final Thoughts For health care providers, providing patients with the best care requires more than merely carrying out procedures and making diagnoses. All phases of the healthcare process require effective communication. Effective communication plays a vital role in healthcare, whether a health centre is sharing patient data with another hospital or a group of doctors and specialists debating the best course of action for their patients. Strong communication policies in healthcare facilities can improve patients’ health. Still, weak policies can have a detrimental effect on patients’ well-being. By implementing WhatsApp for healthcare, healthcare businesses can streamline their communication procedures and make it simple to get in touch with potential customers whenever possible.

WhatsApp is used by people of all ages and backgrounds for a variety of reasons. In fact, one in every five US adults sends messages via WhatsApp. Some want to stay in touch with friends and family, while others use it for work or to keep up with the latest news. WhatsApp is a great alternative to Facebook Messenger because it offers more privacy. It provides end-to-end message encryption, meaning that only you and the person you’re communicating with can access the conversations. And WhatsApp business takes it to a whole new level. What is a WhatsApp Business account? ------------------------------------ WhatsApp Business is a version of WhatsApp designed, as the name suggests, specifically for businesses. It includes all of the features of the regular app, plus some additional functionalities and messaging tools. WhatsApp Business comes with a more advanced interface that is tailored for managing large volumes of customer conversations. For example, you can create quick replies and automated messages to answer repeated questions from customers. Or, you can set up your business profile and add a separate phone number for your WhatsApp Business account. So— How much does WhatsApp Business cost? The good news is that **WhatsApp Business is free**. You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play. There are no subscription fees or other costs associated with using the core features. However, if you want to use WhatsApp Business to send marketing messages, you will need to pay for your ads. ### WhatsApp Business: benefits WhatsApp Business is one of the most popular apps for business messaging. It has been downloaded over 8 million times for Android devices alone. And there are a few very good reasons for that. **Benefits of using WhatsApp Business** * Automated messages to deliver 24/7 support and improve customer experience * Upgraded version of the app for both Android and iOS/Apple devices * Integration with social media and conversational marketing through Facebook and Instagram * Ability to use message templates and quick replies to save time * Verified businesses can connect WhatsApp to their CRM via 3rd party WhatsApp business solutions  There are many more advantages of using the professional version of WhatsApp. And, with a business account, you can also get direct access to the WhatsApp Business Platform (also known as WAB API) to unlock additional functionalities. ### WhatsApp vs WhatsApp Business: comparison Take a look at the table below to find out **the difference between WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business**. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/whatsapp-vs-whatsapp-business-1660887453696-compressed.png) OK— But what’s the deal with the WhatsApp Business API? Is it a better version of WhatsApp Business, or something different entirely? So, here’s a thing— Many companies and call centres need to use omnichannel customer service tools and advanced bot automation. In fact, only 2% of customers in the US choose WhatsApp as their primary customer service channel. It may come as a surprise, but most users still prefer phone calls or live chat support over WhatsApp. That’s why switching to a WhatsApp Business account may not be enough. ![Graph showing consumers' customer service channel preferences](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/channel-preferences-905x1200.png) Source: Gladly Source: Gladly For this reason, customer service departments in bigger companies use WhatsApp Business API—it allows them to use the WhatsApp “engine” for multichannel service. An API (Application Programming Interface) typically provides a set of rules or protocols that define how two applications can exchange data with each other. For example, your developers can connect WhatsApp to your customer database software and set up custom notifications with the WAB API. WhatsApp Business is awesome, but it doesn’t give you full, streamlined control over your customer support. The WhatsApp API unlocks some additional features, but it is way more complicated and difficult to implement. That’s why it is mostly used by large businesses.  Now— Let’s see what switching to a WhatsApp business account means in practice.  Top WhatsApp Business features ------------------------------ Communicating with your customers directly and providing them with a personalized experience is the key to success. This is especially true for e-commerce businesses. Using WhatsApp Business will give you a better understanding of your customer base and what they want. If you want to improve your customer communication, here are the nine best WhatsApp Business features that you should try: 1. Business profiles 2. Catalogues and collections 3. Quick replies 4. Greeting messages 5. Automated messages 6. Multiple users 7. Contact labels 8. Message analytics 9. WhatsApp Business API Read on to find out how each of the features can help your business. Most of them are explicitly meant to increase your customer engagement and sales.  ### 1\. Add Business Profiles A WhatsApp Business profile can help you create a more professional image for your company. It is like an online equivalent of a business card. ![Screenshot showing edit your business profile in WhatsApp Business](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/business-profiles-700x524.png) Your customers can view your profile and find all necessary information such as your contact details, business hours, and location. It’s a great way to build trust and show that you are a legitimate company. To create your profile, just download the WhatsApp Business app. It is actually one of the very first steps of the tour right after you open the application. After you provide your number, WhatsApp will ask a series of questions regarding your company. You can change or add more information later in the _Business tools_ section of the panel. ![Screenshots showing how access Business tools in WhatsApp Business](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/business-tools-business-profile-700x354.png) ### 2\. Create product catalogues The catalogue feature in WhatsApp allows businesses to showcase their products and services to potential customers in a visually appealing way. This can be a great way to promote your featured or new products too. ![Screenshots showing how you can add catalog items in WhatsApp Business](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/product-catalog-700x626.png) Catalogues can be created using photos, videos, or text. You can choose to make your catalogues public or private. Customers can browse through catalogues and add items to their shopping carts. And store owners can use the feature to track customer engagement and sales too.  Keep in mind that the catalogue feature is available to WhatsApp Business customers who have verified their business accounts. ### 3\. Send quick replies If you have an online store then you know that customers tend to ask about the same thing over and over again. WhatsApp Business quick replies are a way to reply to messages without having to type out a full response. ![Screenshots showing how you can create an use quick replies in WhatsApp Business](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/quick-replies-1-700x548.png) You can add up to 50 quick replies and assign shortcuts and keywords to use during conversations. Just press “/” and the list of your quick replies will appear. It’s a good idea to prepare a list of canned responses for frequent questions and situations such as sending thank you for your order messages. ### 4\. Set up greeting messages Greeting messages can increase customer loyalty and engagement, which are essential for the success of any business. It should be your way of saying “hello” and showing appreciation for your customers’ patronage. Using WhatsApp for business lets you create custom welcome messages for your customers. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/whatsapp-greeting-message-2-1200x989-1660887708207-compressed.png) Greeting messages are sent automatically when someone starts a new conversation or sends a message after 14 days of no activity. ### 5\. Automated messages Greetings are not the only WhatsApp Business messages that you can send automatically. You can create automated responses for other situations too. By default, the WhatsApp Business account allows you to send _Away messages_ when you are not available. Just set up your business hour in the _Business profile_ and pick the _Outside of business hours_ option for triggering away messages. ![A mobile view of business hour settings in WhatsApp Business App](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/business-hours-700x590.png) Now, every time someone tries to reach out to you when you are not available, they will receive an automatic message. If you need other types of automated WhatsApp messages, you can design whole conversation flows. Or even use AI to recognize the meaning of messages that customers send with WhatsApp chatbots. Send automatic replies to your customers 24/7 without lifting a finger ### 6\. Multiple users It’s possible to use WhatsApp Business on several devices. But you need to configure your WhatsApp Business API account to use this feature first. Just remember that the API doesn’t have any conversation panel or chatbot interface of its own. That’s why it’s a good idea to pick one of the vendors who offer WhatsApp Business API solutions and have shared inboxes and multiagent features. ![Shared inbox landing pages on TIdio website](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/multichannel-tool-700x461.png) For the time being, you can integrate Tidio with Messenger and Instagram. The WhatsApp integration is under development and will be available to the users soon. ### 7\. Contact labels Labels allow you to organize your customer conversations simply and conveniently. You can create different categories of customers, for example, related to their order status or how much of a priority they are for your business. ![Labels menu in Tidio panel ](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/chat-labels-700x590.png) Clustering your chats and adding contact labels will help you get a better picture of your customers. It’s closely related to your KPIs too. Companies that research motivation and customer needs through customer segmentation are 2.3x more likely to exceed their revenue goals. ### 8\. Message analytics WhatsApp Business Statistics is the feature that lets you check the number of messages that are sent, delivered, read, or received. Although this data is not presented over time or broken down by different contact groups, it should give you some insights into the effectiveness of your chats. Some third-party tools are much more thorough and provide detailed insights about individual chats, the effectiveness of live chat agents, or the success rate of specific chatbot templates. ![Chatbot analytics in Tidio panel](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/chatbots-tidio-700x257.png) ### 9\. WhatsApp Business API The WhatsApp Business API is a fast, secure, and reliable way for businesses to reach their customers all over the world. The API allows customer service teams to send and receive messages, as well as manage their customer interactions on WhatsApp. The WhatsApp Business API is built on the same infrastructure as WhatsApp Messenger, so it is highly scalable and can handle large volumes of messages. ![Screenshot of the WhatsApp Business AP landing page](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/whatsapp-business-api-700x376.png) While WhatsApp Business API (also known as WhatsApp Business Platform) deserves a spot on our list, it’s actually more than a feature. It’s a gateway to new possibilities, as you can freely fiddle with the inner workings of the application. However, if you don’t want to build everything from scratch, you should find live chat software or a chatbot platform that is an official WhatsApp Business API partner. How to create a WhatsApp Business account ----------------------------------------- You can create a WhatsApp Business account in just a few steps. **To set up your WhatsApp Business app:** 1. Visit Google Play or App Store 2. Download the WhatsApp Business app 3. Open the app and verify your phone number 4. Restore your data or create a new account 5. Set up your business name and profile In a nutshell, just go to the app store on your mobile phone, download WhatsApp Business, and open the app. Then, follow the instructions in the app itself. ![A mobile view of WhatsApp Business download progress ](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/whatsapp-business-downloading-700x430.png) You will be asked to provide some basic contact information about your business, including your business name, phone number, email address, and website. Once you have filled in this information, you will be able to create a profile for your business and start using WhatsApp Business to chat with your customers. ![A mobile view with a question at the top: Use +1 (555) 55501234 for WhatsApp Business?, and confirmation button at the bottom. ](https://www.tidio.com/wp-content/uploads/numer-whatsapp-business-700x563.png) It is best to use a separate phone number for business purposes. This way your personal and business messages won’t get mixed up. However, you can use your personal WhatsApp account and upgrade it to a business account too if you have only one device. All media and conversation history will be imported. Read Other Blogs -  [view](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/tag/crm/)​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

Install a WhatsApp Chat Button ---------------------------------- Having a WhatsApp Business account and not publicising it is counterproductive. And this is where some businesses falter. After installing the app and setting up a **WhatsApp Business account,** they fail to broadcast their availability on the chat platform. There are many ways to promote your WhatsApp number and give it as much visibility as possible—starting with your website.  The most straightforward way would be to list your WhatsApp Business number in your contact information—be it on a dedicated page or in your footer.  We recommend going the extra mile and adding a chat button for easy access, just like how we did it on **our website.**  A sticky WhatsApp icon on the bottom right corner of all pages that floats along as you scroll will remain visible to the reader no matter what. Clicking on it brings up a mini chat box with an option to start a conversation with us on WhatsApp.   If you’re browsing on your smartphone, this will direct you to your WhatsApp immediately, whereas the web browser will open up a new page with WhatsApp web.  Note: All you need is **5 minutes to add a WhatsApp Chat Button on your website** in under 5 minutes. 2\. Use Its Automated Messages With a Touch of Human One of the most popular customer care features of WhatsApp Business is its automated messaging system.  As mentioned in our post on the **WhatsApp marketing tutorial**, you can set up automated away and welcome messages and create templates (quick replies) to send out prompt [customer support](https://www.delightchat.io/shopify-customer-service-app) messages.   This simple feature saves you a ton of time and frees up your customer service team so they can focus on more pressing matters.  However, there’s a limit to what automation can do. There may be times when providing WhatsApp support with a human touch may be needed,  especially when customer disputes arise.  In such cases, it’s reassuring for customers to know that a real person is looking into the issue.  And that’s where personalising your responses can allay frustrations. This can mean anything from addressing the customer by name to providing detailed updates about their case.  The best part of doing this through WhatsApp is if you already have set up quick automated replies. You can use them as a reference and adapt your message accordingly.  Plus, you most likely already have a chat going with these customers. So all you have to do is follow up with them in the existing WhatsApp chat. 3\. Jump on a Call When Needed If you want to take things further, there’s always the possibility of jumping on a call with your customers.  Sure, chatting has its benefits. But a phone call provides an even more personal touch and can sometimes be more efficient in resolving disputes—especially miscommunications and misunderstandings.  If and when you decide a call would be the best next step for your WhatsApp customer support, we highly recommend getting permission from your customers to call them before actually doing it.   A simple WhatsApp message like this is usually sufficient:  _“Hi John, we’re sorry about \[issue/misunderstanding\]. May we give you a call to clarify the issue?_ _Do let us know when’s a good time to call you. Thank you.”_  When dealing with unsatisfied customers, the last thing you want to do is catch them at the wrong time (when they’re in a meeting or driving) with an unexpected call.  Furthermore, the fact that you’re already chatting with them on WhatsApp would mean that you already have their contact information.  And who can forget the best part about WhatsApp calls? No (international) call charges! 4\. Make Use of WhatsApp’s Multimedia Format Options WhatsApp Business’s customer service communication features go beyond just chatting.   It allows the exchange of multimedia messages, including photos, videos, audio notes, and documents in popular formats like .docx and .pdf.  For instance, the national flag carrier of the Netherlands, [KLM](https://www.klm.com/), uses WhatsApp to send boarding passes to its passengers using an image with a QR code. ![3.jpeg](https://www.wati.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/3.jpeg.jpg) Depending on the nature of your business, there are plenty more ways to take advantage of WhatsApp Business’s multimedia feature for customer support. These include:  From pre-sales to post-sales, WhatsApp’s multimedia features can come in handy as a customer support tool. *  Sending invoices in .pdf format. * Send additional product images (or even a video) when those in your product catalogue aren’t sufficient for your customers to decide. * Send explanatory videos of how your product works to resolve your customers’ doubts and queries. You could also send a YouTube link directly since WhatsApp allows YouTube videos to play automatically within the app itself. * Provide any relevant product certifications or documents in .pdf format if and when customers request for them 5\. Send Follow-up Product Care Reminders ----------------------------------------- Another way to leverage WhatsApp Business as a customer support channel is by sending post-purchase relevant reminders. Here’s an example.   Say you sell robot vacuum cleaners. After your customer has purchased the product, you could send them a message when it’s time to clean or replace their filters and brushes to remind them to do so.  As an added plus, it’s also a sales opportunity if you also happen to sell replacement parts. Since you already have their purchase details (model number, delivery address, billing information, etc.), making follow-up purchases with you will be a breeze.    This activity also works beautifully if your business sells products that consumers purchase regularly. Examples of such products include office supplies like printer ink or A4 paper or day-to-day products like vitamins and detergent… You get the gist.  However, to use WhatsApp for customer service, you’ll need to have a WhatsApp Business account which comes in two types. * WhatsApp Business App * WhatsApp API Using WhatsApp API for Customer Service Support ----------------------------------------------- ![4](https://www.wati.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/4.png) The free WhatsApp Business app is probably enough to cater to your customer service support needs if you’re running a small business. But if you’re in an expansion phase or are a larger enterprise, chances are you’ll require more advanced tools and features.   For that, **[WhatsApp Business API](https://business.whatstool.in/)** is your answer.  Aside from getting the **[official verified green tick](https://business.whatstool.in/)** next to your business name, you can also benefit from a shared team inbox and the ability for multiple customer support staff to access a consolidated dashboard.  For a detailed breakdown of what the API offers over the free app, check out our post on the **differences between Messenger, WhatsApp Business APP and Business API.** Companies using WhatsApp for customer service --------------------------------------------- ### Pretty Ballerina [Pretty Ballerina](https://www.prettyballerinas.com/en/) is a Spanish shoe brand that makes comfortable and trendy footwear for Women.

Author: Sujeet WhatsTool Published: 2022-08-17 Tags: D2C for whatsApp, #whatstoolapi, #whatstool, #whatsappapi, whatstool business, whatsapp cloud api, whatstool business api, multiple agents, whatsapp marketing, whatsapp api, whatstool business app, chatbots, crm tools, crm, whatapp action button, template messages URL: https://blog.whatstool.business/whatsapp-login-2022-how-to-implement-whatsapp-login-on-your-app/ ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/whatsapp-login-2022-how-to-implement-whatsapp-login-on-your-app-1660802944732-compressed.png) There are many third-party login systems now; the common ones are Facebook, Google and SMS. However, all of these may have flaws which could cause authentication errors and could cause problems.  Many times these login systems cause to trigger a third-party pop-up window which sometimes causes a connection session timeout, which is not ideal for security purposes. OTP-based logins are very popular. However, they face some common problems of OTPs not having a 100% delivery rate that may lead to login drop-offs. So what’s the best solution? Implementing WhatsApp Login ------------------------------ WhatsApp is used by over 2 billion users worldwide, and it has already been a much-preferred substitute for text messaging. Moreover, WhatsApp is reliable as it depends on internet networks, not cellular ones. The Whatsapp login authentication will make it easier for your mobile web users to log in without having to remember their passwords or enter their phone numbers or OTPs, giving them a seamless experience. What’s the need for WhatsApp Login? ----------------------------------- Millions of people endure the time-consuming login and authentication process each day. Users can currently log in by entering their mobile number, password, and OTP. As an alternative, they can sign in with their email or Facebook accounts. A younger generation of users who don’t have Facebook profiles also frequently use phone numbers to sign up for services, and they occasionally use an email other than for this purpose. What about mobile login through OTP verification? ------------------------------------------------- It’s typical for the app to send a verification code through SMS to the specified number when a phone number is used to sign in. After entering that code, the user can establish an account.  In a multi-factor authentication system, when a user’s account information is paired with an additional step for added protection, this procedure can also be utilized when logging in. Even though this procedure is simple to follow, SMS is not everyone’s preferred texting service, with WhatsApp being used by over 2 billion people.  Additionally, those without unlimited texting plans take care to minimize their usage of texting when possible. To counter the limitations of SMS verification, the WhatsApp software development kit can come in as a handy solution. Apps can offer to send consumers their verification code using WhatsApp rather than text messaging after WhatsApp is incorporated into an iOS or Android app.  This makes it a lot easier for customers to sign up and log into your app or websites using just their WhatsApp phone number. Login via WhatsApp Flow ----------------------- So the flow of how we can implement this login system to any login requesting web application is frictionless and very easy to understand. ![WhatsApp login flow](https://www.wati.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Option-01-1024x621.png) So from the above flow, you can easily tell that:  **Step 1:** The Web Application requests a unique login token from its database/server.  **Step 2:** The unique token from the server is sent to the web application.  **Step 3:** A WhatsApp Message is triggered to the registered user’s WhatsApp number.  **Step 4:** The WhatsApp Message is then pushed from the user to the WATI server.  **Step 5:** The WATI server sends the message to the web application’s server for validation.  **Step 6:** Triggers the result back to the WATI server.  **Step 7:** The Result is carried on as a WhatsApp message to the user to tell them if the login is valid/invalid.  **Step 8:** Login is then successful.  Finally, this is how the validation works when there is login via WhatsApp, making the login system more user-friendly. ### Other benefits of implementing WhatsApp Login on your app? * No encryption issue, like Google or Facebook. * No waiting for OTP like in SMS. * Do not have to type in anything and is hassle-free. Instead of the traditional SMS OTP, **WhatsApp also has the feature where you can trigger an OTP message to authenticate customer login to your app.** Using WhatsApp OTP for login ---------------------------- You may wonder why should you migrate from SMS OTP authentication to WhatsApp OTP. Well, it all boils down to popularity. If you serve customers in India and Brazil where WhatsApp is very popular, it’s a complete no-brainer to migrate to WhatsApp OTP authentication since it’s the preferred messaging platform. Also since WhatsApp has over a 90% open rate, it would be ideal to switch all communication from SMS to WhatsApp to improve the user experience.  ### How safe is WhatsApp OTP login? Instant messaging services like WhatsApp have end-to-end encryption that prevents anyone outside the sender and recipient from reading the messages. Although traditional institutions like banks may not feel confident using WhatsApp for sending OTPs since they are third-party providers unlike SMS messaging services provided directly by telecommunications operators.

WhatsApp is a market leader with messaging channels. The opportunity to communicate seamlessly for sales and marketing using Chatbots is limitless.  Now that you’re aware of what you’re looking for. Let’s get started on how to build a chatbot. What is a WhatsApp chatbot? ------------------------------ WhatsApp Chatbot automates your sales and customer service. It engages with your audience 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without human intervention. It’ll feel like you’re speaking with a natural person. Still, in reality, your audience will be conversing with a machine that will respond with a series of automatic responses. For example, using a WhatsApp chatbot, an eCommerce company can:  – Answer queries about its products and services. – Send payment, delivery, and refund notifications. – Distribute marketing information to increase sales. Why does your business need a WhatsApp chatbot? ----------------------------------------------- It’s easier to manage queries when you have a small base of customers. But as your business grows with more customers, you must have a chatbot that can engage with leads and customers 24/7.  Without a chatbot, it can be challenging to reply faster to any business or customer enquiries, and it’s not something your audience will like.   On the brighter side, here’s what you can expect by setting a WhatsApp chatbot in place.  1. Improve the sales efforts. 2. Offer better support and experience in clearing customer queries. 3. Setup automated replies outside business hours 4. Save money and time 5. Gather lead details 6. Integrate your chatbots with your existing CRMs like HubSpot, Shopify or ZoHo. 7. Recommend new products and services 8. Unlike humans, your chatbot can handle many queries at the same time. In short, if you want to scale your business on WhatsApp, you need to provide the experience of your website or store on WhatsApp.  For that, you will need a WhatsApp chatbot.  Now that you have learnt about the WhatsApp chatbot and its need let’s check out the key things you should be aware of before creating a WhatsApp chatbot. ### What is WhatsApp Business? WhatsApp Business is a solution developed by Facebook to help businesses build their presence on WhatsApp.  Being the best alternative to old SMS services, WhatsApp for businesses enables businesses to interact with their customers with chats, reminders, and confirmation texts on WhatsApp Itself.  There are two WhatsApp Business Solutions: 1. **WhatsApp Business App** 2. **[WhatsApp Business API](https://business.whatstool.in/)** WhatsApp Business includes capabilities that can help a small business meet its needs. On the flip side, it has limitations for a medium or large enterprise.  This is where the WhatsApp Business API may help you scale your marketing and sales operations. ### Getting WhatsApp chatbot with WhatsApp Business API No ordinary WhatsApp Number can have a chatbot enabled on it. WhatsApp doesn’t allow us to do that. The concept of the WhatsApp bot came into existence when Facebook launched WhatsApp Business API for businesses in 2018. WhatsApp Business API enables businesses to have their presence on WhatsApp and **[get a verified WhatsApp Business account.](https://business.whatstool.in/)**  With WhatsApp APIs, you can integrate your systems like WhatsApp bot, CRM, chat agents dashboard, etc., to automate sales and customer support.  [Click here to get your WhatsApp Business API.](https://business.whatstool.in/)​ If you want a WhatsApp chatbot, you must first get a WhatsApp Business API.   Now that we are clear with the prerequisites for creating a chatbot let’s quickly move on to what you came looking for. How To Create A WhatsApp Chatbot For Free? ------------------------------------------ Getting a WhatsApp chatbot up and running will depend on whether you’re using the free WhatsApp Business app or the **WhatsApp Business API.**  While free and relatively easy to configure, the app has its limitations. Building a WhatsApp bot with the business API opens up plenty more customer service, sales, and marketing opportunities, not to mention the possibility to customize your bots.   There are two ways to approach building a WhatsApp Chatbot. Coding the chatbot manually requires technical knowledge (obviously!!), which may be challenging to maneuver if you don’t have an in-house developer. Whereas with WHATSTOOL, we help you build a no-code WhatsApp chatbot that you can customize according to your messaging and business needs in under 5 minutes. 1. Code the Chatbot manually 2.

Designing your WhatsApp Chatbot’s Conversation ---------------------------------------------- When you build a WhatsApp bot for your WhatsApp Business account, it works as the first interactive face of your business. So, it is crucial to consider the most critical aspect, i.e. conversation design. **Conversation Design:** Conversation design is a process where you’ll build all the possible conversations your customer can have with your WhatsApp Bot. It is the core of your WhatsApp automation. Conversation design will help you identify the need of your customers and their ways of asking a single question. It is essential to know that users get frustrated when a Chatbot fails to deliver the correct answer. Therefore, the conversational design will help you boost UX and increase the percentage of queries your WhatsApp bot can answer successfully. **Build Multiple Chatbot Flows:** You’ve to consider that there will be multiple conversational flows to get the users to your end goals which would be to complete a purchase or fill the sign-up details page. With multiple chatbot flows, you can make your Conversational Design highly efficient to meet your end goal.  **Add Useful Fallbacks:** No chatbot can answer 100% of the queries.  Therefore, there would be moments when your WhatsApp chatbot will fail to resolve a question. This is called a Chatbot failure or Fallback. While designing a conversation, avoid using a very common fallback reply like ‘sorry! I can’t answer this for now.’ Try to make it more interactive. You can also show the main menu or sub-menu so the users can navigate to the desired thing.  **Be The Support, Not A Salesperson:** While designing the conversation, ensure that the chatbot is polite and sounds like an assistant. Please don’t over-market or brag too much about your products. Instead, show only helpful things to your customers when asked.  **Avoid Long texts:** How often would you read a long text on WhatsApp? The same things happen with your users. So keep your chatbot’s responses short and effective. If you wish to explain something in detail, attach a document or a media along with your short message.  **Add Call To Action In The Closing Messages:** We’ve been building a WhatsApp Chatbot for what? To get more business, to be precise. It is important to note that at the end of a conversation, the chatbot must ask the user to take action, such as ‘purchase now!’ or ‘Fill the details. _Conversation design aims to improve the UX of your WhatsApp Chatbot. A good UX will also help you build your brand value on WhatsApp._ ​Read Other Blogs -  [view](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/tag/crm/)​ --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

It’s simply a welcome message for customers on WhatsApp Business. You can make multiple greetings for different types of situations.  ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/greet1-1656669642477-compressed.png) Why would you use a greeting message for WhatsApp Business? ----------------------------------------------------------- Using the right type of greeting message at the right time can help you achieve the following: * Lower your response time  * Improve the customer experience * Increase customer satisfaction by guiding customers toward the right information * Don’t leave customers that message you outside of business hours hanging * Collect valuable leads What does an effective WhatsApp Business greeting look like? ------------------------------------------------------------ ### 1. **Set clear expectations** Your primary goal should be to set a realistic expectation of when your customer can expect a message. It simply feels better for a customer to know for certain when they will be responded to. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/greet2-1656669664884-compressed.png) Be very specific in setting these expectations. To illustrate why let’s look at two quick examples. 1)_“We’ll get back to you ASAP.”_ 2)_“We’ll get back to you within 24 hours.”_ The first example is a bit of a vague promise and doesn’t set a specific expectation. ‘As soon as possible could mean anything between one minute and 10 hours. The second example, on the other hand, sets a clear expectation and gives your team the opportunity to overdeliver. ### 2. **Be as transparent as possible** The second best practice is to simply be honest and transparent. Nobody likes lame excuses for slow response times. If your team just so happens to be a little in over their head that day, there is no shame in simply saying that you are busy.  ### 3. **Give it a human touch** In a lot of greetings, whether it is via email, live chat, or WhatsApp, I have noticed how the tone is often quite formal.  But just because the message is automated, doesn’t mean you have to come off as a robot. I would advise you to always sound as human as possible. Keep it professional, sure, but avoid sounding like a lawyer. Well, unless you are a lawyer, of course. You get the point.

Buttons allow you to better anticipate how your customers will respond to your messages, giving you the ability to simplify your flows. Types of interactive buttons ---------------------------- There are two types of interactive buttons that you can add to your Template Messages. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/action-2-1656668503755-compressed.png) Quick reply Quick reply buttons allow you to create up to three buttons that customers can choose from to reply rapidly to your message. Each button can be up to 20 characters long. When your customer selects their response, it will be received as a text-type message within conversations, exactly as it would if they had typed the response themselves. ### Call to action Call-to-action buttons allow you to create up to two buttons that customers can choose from that will direct them to either call a number or visit a web page. Each button can be up to 20 characters long, and each template can contain a maximum of one phone number and one website link. If your customer selects the ‘call a number’ option, their device will automatically call that number. If they select the ‘visit a web page’ option, their device will automatically open that web page. Simple!

Author: Sujeet WhatsTool Published: 2022-06-30 Tags: D2C for whatsApp, #whatstoolapi, #whatstool, #whatsappapi, whatstool business, whatsapp cloud api, whatstool business api, multiple agents, whatsapp marketing, whatsapp api, whatstool business app, chatbots, crm tools, crm, whatapp action button, template messages URL: https://blog.whatstool.business/why-all-direct-to-consumer-d2c-businesses-should-have-a-whatsapp-number/ _The D2C market has seen a revival in the current age, especially during the COVID pandemic. Direct-to-consumer (D2C) companies that directly sell their goods/services to their clients have significantly grown in the last decade. Since there are no middlemen, D2C companies can build strong relationships with their customers. This is one of the unique aspects of D2C businesses as large retailers will not be able to do it. Companies that capitalise on the same have a greater chance to succeed_ ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/group-688-1656572113412-compressed.png) WhatsApp Business ----------------- ### ​Texting has become an integral part of D2C businesses in the last five years. In fact, it is considered one of the factors that give D2Cs a competitive edge over other brands. Since personalization is important for a seamless customer experience, a direct messaging system like WhatsApp will be invaluable to D2C companies. Another great advantage is that WhatsApp can be used for internal and external communications. 1. With WhatsApp, D2Cs can instantly send files, images and videos to their customers. 2.  Its popularity ensures that D2Cs can reach customers conveniently through a familiar platform. 3. WhatsApp has a high message open rate, making it perfect for remarketing initiatives. 4.  The end-to-end encryption ensures complete safety and increased trust. 5.  D2Cs can send coupons, discounts and other marketing events conveniently to their customers. 6.  WhatsApp helps D2Cs instantly collect reviews and address negative feedback. Live Chat --------- ### D2Cs traditionally do not have a large online presence. Hence, D2Cs must make the best use of their limited online presence aka their site. Integrating live chat into a D2C website will enable the company to provide a personalized experience for each customer. Acting as a virtual concierge, the live chat system enables D2Cs to answer queries and build rapport with visitors. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/group-689-1656572135140-compressed.png) For example, live chat will potentially turn into a lead generation machine that will feed your lead management tool. When both work in tandem, you will be able to seamlessly turn visitors into customers and manage their complete journey autonomously. When those efforts fail, you can use WhatsApp remarketing to target the dropped-out or abandoned customers. The key here is connecting the three systems to efficiently increase both your sales and customer satisfaction. This makes your D2C company a well-oiled machine that does not lose its efficiency online.

Author: Sujeet WhatsTool Published: 2022-06-23 Tags: #whatstoolapi, #whatsappapi, whatstool business, whatsapp cloud api, whatstool business api, multiple agents, whatstool business app, chatbots URL: https://blog.whatstool.business/whatsapp-business-for-e-commerce-use-cases-advantages-and-more-cl4qlaipy19601lqf7efqfm03/ _As eCommerce companies have limited physical customer interaction, it is important that they make their online interactions instant, easy and powerful. Platforms like WhatsApp business app allow businesses to do just that._ ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/frame-69-1-1655969395616-compressed.png) The [Whatsapp Business API](https://whatstool.in/business/signup) has opened up a new avenue of customer engagement for eCommerce businesses. Here are some ways e-commerce businesses can integrate WhatsApp into their communication strategy. 1\. To acquire new customers ------------------------------- The WhatsApp API offers a great opportunity to offer advanced chatbots and opt-ins to capture leads on your store. ### On-site Chat: Instead of an on-site assistance bot waiting in the corner of the site, you can create a WhatsApp chat bubble or button to invite website visitors to engage with you. You can further create bots to capture leads and assist visitors with the buying process. ### Notification opt-ins: This way you allow potential customers to receive notifications, news and updates via a channel they check and use frequently. For E.g. your lead can sign up to receive a notification when a product is back in stock or there’s a price drop! ### Campaign ads CTA: ### Campaign ads CTA:  A great way to drive acquisition is to use the click-to-WhatsApp marketing approach in your paid campaigns. That is, when prospects click on your Facebook or Google ad, instead of a landing page, they will be invited to a WhatsApp conversation that engages them right of the bat, in a familiar environment. ​2. To offer a great post-purchase experience --------------------------------------------- _​WhatsApp Business API’s real power lies in the programmatic notifications you can send through it. Once customers make a purchase and allow (or select this as the preferred way to receive notifications) your business to send them notifications, you get a potent tool to offer a great post-purchase experience to your customers. Here are a few ways eCommerce businesses are levelling up their post-purchase customer experience using Whatsapp._ ### ​Order Updates: Ecommerce businesses traditionally use email and SMS to send order-related information. WhatsApp API has opened up a new channel for businesses while making it more convenient for buyers. With the help of the API, you can send various order updates to the customers to their favourite messaging channel. ### ​Delivery Tracking: Using GPS for live location sharing has always been a useful feature on WhatsApp. You can now implement live location sharing for your customers to locate their deliveries with WhatsApp Business API. This will be particularly useful for e-commerce businesses, as the customers will be able to live track the package without switching between apps. ### ​Personalised Recommendations: Sending personalized product recommendations is a great way to increase LTV while positively engaging with your customers. WhatsApp API allows you to send product recommendations and ### To Collect Feedback: The WhatsApp Business API helps you reach your customers through their most used messaging app, and gather instant feedback through their replies. Leverage the data you receive to better understand your customers through more reliable reporting based on a larger pool of responses. ### Enable Loyalty Program Engagement : Customer Loyalty programs are a great way to reward your customers to increase your sales. Through Whatsapp Business API, customers can easily use the app to track and manage their loyalty points. They can also look up personalized offers, search for rewards and acknowledge targeted notifications on the go. ### 3\.

After visiting specific pages, it allows you to retarget them and show your visitors relevant visual or text ads when they visit other websites. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/frame-68-1655738160096-compressed.png) Retargeting, also known as remarketing, is **the strategy of directly advertising to users who have shown interest in a product, application, or other conversions, but who have in some way lapsed from completing the conversion or retaining interest**. You’re sharing posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. That’s great — but are you also promoting your business on one of the most popular playgrounds around? We’re talking about WhatsApp, of course. WhatsApp promotional messages are a powerful way to get the word out about your brand or business. To maintain a high-quality user experience, WhatsApp only allows new customers to initiate conversations while businesses can only proactively message Contacts in their customer lists. WhatsApp is therefore a remarketing platform. Promotional Messages on WhatsApp: The WhatsTool Way --------------------------------------------------- Let’s talk about how to send promotional messages on WhatsApp. To get started, you need a WhatsApp Business API account and **[Whatstool. in](https://whatstool.in/) the account.** You also need a Contact list, which you can build with the following methods: * Import Contacts from customer lists * Click to chat links * Click to chat ads Broadcast Promotions to a Wide Audience --------------------------------------- Perhaps you run a supermarket franchise and want to promote monthly offers to your online shoppers. You’ve been using email newsletters, but chances are customers are ignoring them. Instead, send WhatsApp Broadcasts for this type of remarketing exercise. ### Automate Promotional Messages with Triggers Say you’re the owner of a premium gadget store. You’ve noticed that online shoppers spend a significant amount of time browsing and selecting items, but there’s a consistently high percentage of abandoned carts. Return-to-cart emails recover some 10% of that potential revenue but WhatsApp messages reach users while the intent or desire is still fresh. Nearly 80% of WhatsApp messages are read within 5 minutes, far superior to email’s lower and slower open rates. --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

The messenger application is a highly reliable platform for corporations that consistently use the platform for interacting with buyers and clients ### Here are a few tips to choose to find the best software for WhatsApp marketing * **Explore the internet -** Type in a particular keyword to get the most suitable search results. E.g.- Searching for the best software for WhatsApp Marketing would give you more refined results than just searching for WhatsApp Marketing. * **Take references from your colleagues/friends -** Take references from friends and colleagues who have taken help from a WhatsApp partner themselves. However, perform your own research about them before finalizing. *  **Inspect the availability/activeness of their customer service -** _A​ company's care for its clients shows in its level of customer service _ ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/group-635-1655828686536-compressed.png)        The ultimate step and the one you must not ignore is finding out the efficiency of the customer offered by the             WhatsApp partner. As WhatsApp Business API feels like a whole new world, it becomes a lot easier when you have someone guiding you at each step of the way. * **Check their social media presence -** A good WhatsApp partner would have a good social media presence on platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram. * **Sift through Online Reviews -** No business in their right mind would lose down their shortcomings. To find these, check google reviews & reviews listed on software directories. * **Go through their Customer list -** This will help you discover the businesses they have & whatever or not they can help you achieve your business marketing like robust customer experiences and more. * **Book a  Demo to discuss -** The final step on our list is asking the WhatsApp partner for a demo. A demo will give you a first-hand experience to analyze whether the software fits your business' marketing goals or not!         If you find the software to be feature-rich and fit your expectations, you can go along & finalize the deal. * **Never ignore the implementation process -** Don't ever choose a WhatsApp partner who won’t provide help with onboarding & implementation. The initial phase of transformation to a WhatsApp Marketing software can be tricky or tough to grasp & require help from your team. Also, don’t ignore the User Interface of the software. If the interface isn’t well-organized or categorized properly, you won’t be able to achieve more with WhatsApp Marketing. --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

Amazing benefits of** **WhatsApp Business Account.** ---------------------------------------------------------- _​​Already the most popular messaging app Over two billion people already use WhatsApp, which makes it a market leader in instant messaging [apps.](https://blog-business.whatstool.in/why-choose-whatsapp-broadcast-message-instead-of-email-sms/)_ ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl4ib1qly100451lunqpy2kuxn/images/frame-58-4-1655467046886-compressed.png) Available in most countries (180), almost everyone in India, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Malaysia, Colombia, Turkey, Spain, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Kenya is a WhatsApp user. It’s also gaining traction in France, Germany, the United States, and Italy. WhatsApp’s popularity is partly due to its being completely free for consumers and substituting SMS and phone calls, both paid. That makes it great for keeping in touch with family and friends abroad. They only need a phone number to get started and the app is intuitive to use. In short, there are no barriers for end users and if you decide to use WhatsApp Business, your audience is already there. 2\. Reach people anytime, anywhere ------------------------------------- ​WhatsApp for business is a real-time communication channel. While people often put off reading emails, they usually check incoming messages right away, even on the go. 80% of WhatsApp messages are read in the first five minutes. This gives you a much larger time window to send marketing messages. In fact, WhatsApp messages get an unbeatable 98% open rate and a 45-60% click rate. ### 3\. Secure and trustworthy. Users enjoy the fact that all WhatsApp chats are encrypted. From a business point of view, it’s secure enough to exchange sensitive information like password resets. Also, all WhatsApp business accounts go through obligatory authentication to give customers peace of mind. This applies to both companies using the WhatsApp Business app and the API. Through the API, you can apply for the WhatsApp green tick as well, an official account symbol for extra reassurance. ### 4\. Automate responses to customer queries. WhatsApp offers automation and canned responses to speed up your customer support process and lessen your workload. You can set away messages or quick replies to FAQs. Taking a step further, you can automate an onboarding sequence to introduce your service to new customers or gather feedback. ### 5\. Send more relevant marketing messages. ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/how-to-acquire-customers-on-whatsapp-thumbnail-1655467417429-compressed.webp) WhatsApp for business offers almost limitless possibilities for engagement. Outbound announcements (notifications), two-step authentication, reminders, and status updates are just some messages you can send. Instead of sending too many emails, you can add WhatsApp to your mix so customers don’t feel flooded. And sometimes an instant message update is more timely and convenient. --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

It was created by Facebook in August 2018 to provide medium and large businesses with a tailored solution for scaling their customer engagement via WhatsApp.**​** The WhatsApp Business API offers four advantages for helping enterprises service the customer from the top of the funnel to the bottom — and beyond:  [https://whatstool.in/business/signup](https://whatstool.in/business/signup)​ Powering conversations ---------------------- While WhatsApp is ideal for practical customer servicing such as delivering notifications and alerts, its real strength lies in its ability to let brands easily engage in two-way interactions in real-time.  ### Securing Messaging ![](https://superblog.supercdn.cloud/site_cuid_cl42o8cru128221np38sipih76/images/what-does-secure-messaging-mean-1655465191948-compressed.png) Enterprise-level security forms a vital pillar of the WhatsApp Business API. For instance, WhatsApp verifies all business account details before activation. When customers opt-in to WhatsApp-based comms with a brand, they know they’re talking with a genuine company, not an imposter. ### Transforming Marketing From Click-to-Chat and Conversation buttons that let consumers immediately start chatting with a brand to deploying broadcast messaging in digital marketing campaigns, WhatsApp offers genuine opportunities for marketers to engage with prospects. ### Mastering Integration If unable to fully integrate with existing company systems, even the most cutting-edge CX solution risks becoming inefficient, even redundant. It’s why many brands choose to team up with an official WhatsApp Business API provider to plan, implement, and rollout their WhatsApp solution. --- This blog is powered by Superblog.

Typically, these messages are saved on the live chat platform and triggered using shortcuts, like this: For example, say your website visitors ask questions about pricing all the time. * Allow you to reply quickly and boost the conversion rate.
