What each message does
| Message | When it is sent |
|---|---|
| Greeting message | When a new customer messages you for the first time, or after a long gap |
| Away message | When someone messages outside the hours you set |
| Quick replies | When you type a shortcut like /details, for answers you send often |
Tips
- Keep the greeting short and ask what they need.
- Always state your hours in the away message, so people know when to expect a reply.
- Use quick replies for fees, location, timings and payment details to save time.
- Reply personally after the automatic message. Automation should start the conversation, not replace it.
Share your number as a click-to-chat link with the WhatsApp link generator, or print a WhatsApp QR code for your counter.
