WhatsApp Business API Bot — Chatbot, Templates & Automation
Put an always-on chatbot on WhatsApp — answer FAQs, qualify leads, send approved template messages and hand off to a live agent, all on the official Business API.
Overview
WhatsApp is where Indian customers already are, and the official WhatsApp Business API lets you automate conversations there at scale — verified, compliant and reliable. Office24by7's WhatsApp bot greets customers, answers common questions, captures and qualifies leads, shares catalogues and order updates, and books appointments, working around the clock without keeping anyone waiting. When a conversation needs a human, it hands off smoothly to a live agent with the full chat history intact.
Outbound is handled through pre-approved message templates for notifications, reminders, OTPs and promotions, sent to opted-in contacts within WhatsApp's policy rules. Rich media, buttons and quick replies make each interaction fast, and every conversation is logged against the customer's CRM record. The bot is built visually, so you can design flows, set keywords and update responses without writing code — turning WhatsApp into a full sales and support channel.

Yes. The bot hands off to a live agent whenever a conversation needs one — by keyword, intent or on request — and the agent receives the full chat history so the customer never has to repeat themselves.
