Automate WhatsApp without becoming spam
Automating isn’t blasting messages to strangers: that earns you blocks and loses you the number. Automating well is answering instantly what the customer asks, reopening conversations with messages Meta approved, and letting your team step into what truly needs it. That’s what WAG does.
What’s worth automating (and what isn’t)
Automate the repetitive and predictable: prices, hours, availability, the first “hi” after hours, an appointment reminder. Leave to people what needs judgment: a complaint, a negotiation, a special case. WAG gives you the control to draw that line where it makes sense for your business.
Approved templates, not blind messages
To start or reopen a conversation outside the 24-hour window, WhatsApp requires templates pre-approved by Meta. It’s their way of curbing spam. WAG works with those templates, so your messages go out within the rules and your number stays healthy.
The 24-hour window, explained
Every time a customer messages you, a 24-hour window opens in which you can reply with free text. After that, you can only reach them with a template. Tracking that by hand is a headache; WAG does it for you and automatically picks the right way to reply.
AI and templates, working together
WAG’s automation doesn’t live in isolation. Inside the window, the AI answers with your business knowledge; outside it, templates take over. It’s one smooth conversation for the customer, even as every rule of the official API is respected behind the scenes.
