Connect your WhatsApp Business number to your CRM so every message creates or updates a lead, gets assigned by rules, and triggers follow-ups automatically.
Why leads get lost
Agents reply from personal phones, forget follow-ups and keep contacts when they leave. Managers can't measure response time or see which campaign produced which chat.
How WhatsApp-to-CRM works
- A WhatsApp Business API number receives every message.
- Each conversation is matched to an existing contact or creates a new lead.
- Assignment rules route it to the right agent by language, area or project.
- Reminders fire if the lead isn't answered within your target time.
- Every chat stays on the company record, even if the agent leaves.
Where AI helps
AI can read a message, tag intent (buy, rent, viewing, complaint) and pull out budget or area. It should assist routing, not replace your rules.
FAQ
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
Yes, for reliable multi-agent capture. Approval usually takes one to two weeks.
Can it work with Zoho or HubSpot?
