WhatsApp and customer service
Receive the enquiry, collect the basic details, classify the request, send the right reply, and pass cases that need a person to the right colleague.
We analyse the process first, then connect WhatsApp, the CRM, sales, customer service and operations into a clear workflow that reduces repetition, prevents lost customers and makes follow-up faster and easier to measure.
It means connecting the steps of your work into a clear workflow, and using AI only in the step that needs understanding, classification or summarising. We work with businesses worldwide, start with one process that has a clear impact, and keep sensitive decisions and exceptions with your team.
If you are choosing between an AI agent and conventional workflow automation, read the section AI agent or workflow? before you decide.
Rather than buying more tools, we start from the process itself and choose the simplest system that achieves the result you need.
Receive the enquiry, collect the basic details, classify the request, send the right reply, and pass cases that need a person to the right colleague.
Qualify the lead against clear criteria, record it in the CRM, create a task for the team, and trigger a follow-up or reminder when there is no reply.
Connect forms, orders and internal systems, update statuses automatically, send alerts, and produce reports that help management see what is happening.
A WhatsApp message, a form submission or a lead from a campaign.
Questions, rules or AI that identify the type of request and its priority.
Details, status, source and the person responsible for follow-up are saved.
A reminder, a message or a task for the team, depending on the customer's status.
A booking, an order or a handover to a person, with a clear record of the journey.
The simple rule: if the decision is fixed and clear, conventional automation is usually enough. If the system needs to understand text, classify intent, summarise or handle varied inputs, AI may add real value.
Sending an alert, updating the CRM, creating a task, moving data, or a reminder after a set period.
Understanding a customer’s message, classifying the request, summarising a conversation, suggesting a reply or routing a case.
Sensitive complaints, approvals, negotiation, exceptions and decisions with higher risk.
Anthropic distinguishes workflows, where models and tools are orchestrated through predefined paths, from agents, where the model directs its own steps and its use of tools. Its guidance is to start with the simplest solution that works, and to add complexity only when it is needed.
Written steps carried out in the same order each time. Easier to test and review, and the right choice for most repeated processes.
Selects tools and steps to reach a goal. Suits varied tasks, but needs clear limits, logs and closer monitoring.
Whichever you choose, special prices, sensitive complaints and approvals stay with a responsible person.
The enquiry reaches the right step, instead of waiting for manual routing.
Every lead has a status, a source, an owner and a clear next step.
Fewer copy-and-paste steps and fewer errors between tools.
You can see where requests stop and where the system needs a person.
Send us the process as it runs today, even if it is messy. We will review where time is lost, what can be automated, and what should stay with your team.
It means connecting work steps, data and tools into a clear workflow, and using AI only where it adds understanding, classification or a decision that fixed rules cannot handle.
No. Some processes work better with fixed rules and conventional automation, because they are simpler, cheaper and easier to review. We use AI where understanding text, classifying intent, summarising or making a decision within clear limits adds real value.
Qualification, follow-up, reminders, CRM updates, routing of requests, task creation, management reports, and some customer service and order steps, depending on your systems.
In many cases, yes, depending on the WhatsApp provider, the CRM and the integrations available. We review the current tools before deciding how to connect them.
The main aim is to remove repeated tasks and reduce lost requests, while keeping sensitive cases, exceptions and important decisions with your team.
We start with one clear, high-impact process. We map its current steps, identify where errors and repetition occur, then build a version that can be tested before the system is extended.
Workflow automation carries out predefined steps in the same order each time. An AI agent is a model that decides the next step and the tools to use in order to reach a goal. Most repeated business processes are best started as a clear workflow, with AI added at the step that needs understanding. We move to an agent only when it is needed, with defined limits and monitoring.
In routine, clearly defined cases it may classify, summarise or suggest. Special prices, sensitive complaints, approvals and any decision with obligations stay with a responsible person, with a clear handover and a record of what happened.
Automation moves personal data such as names, phone numbers and messages between systems. Data protection rules depend on where you and your customers are. We review which data passes through each tool and where it is stored, and we recommend that you take advice from a qualified legal adviser for your requirements.
Tell us what happens from the moment a customer or order arrives to the moment it closes, and we will show where automation is worth the investment.
