What the agent does on WhatsApp

  • Answers questions and books appointments, same as on the phone.
  • Sends booking confirmations after calls.
  • Follows up every missed call in the caller's language.
Free-form messages work inside Meta's 24-hour customer window. Outside it, Meta requires an approved template.
