What is WhatsApp Chatbot, how does it work?

A WhatsApp chatbot is a full-fledged automated virtual customer assistant that can answer customer queries and inform them about your product, services, procedures, and any other information. Hence, you can manage a large scale of customer queries simultaneously, 24x7x365

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.

A WhatsApp chatbot is created using the WhatsApp Business API(application programming interface) like WhatsTool Business.
