From the first message to the next action

Stop switching tools just to finish a customer conversation.

Real customer requests rarely stop at a single reply. They need context, sometimes data from another system, and occasionally a person. Sendwo connects these parts of the process.

Respond

Greet customers, answer routine questions and guide them through useful choices.

Understand

Collect the details, preferences or identifiers needed for the next step.

Act

Update a field, check connected data or trigger a supported workflow.

Hand over

Pass important or sensitive questions to a team member with the conversation context.

Core capabilities

Practical WhatsApp automation, not just canned replies.

Start with a simple menu, or connect multiple steps across lead capture, support, campaigns, follow-ups and data exchange.

Visual chatbot builder

Create branching conversation flows using messages, buttons, lists, user inputs and conditions.

AI agent replies

Use approved business knowledge to help with open-ended questions and route uncertain cases.

Lead qualification

Ask for requirements, update contact fields and send qualified enquiries to the right team.

Shared team inbox

Assign conversations, review context and let a person take over when necessary.

Broadcast campaigns

Send approved templates to opted-in contacts and handle incoming campaign replies.

Follow-up sequences

Continue permitted customer journeys through timed steps and reply-driven automation.

Commerce events

Send order updates, COD checks and cart reminders through supported store integrations.

APIs and webhooks

Read or send relevant business data through configured integrations and HTTP actions.

Visual flow builder

Design the conversation the way your business actually works.

Turn a greeting into a useful journey. Offer choices, collect a response, apply a condition and send the visitor to the right next step without rebuilding everything from scratch.

  • Build messages with buttons, lists, media and user-input questions.
  • Branch conversations using conditions, labels and custom fields.
  • Link actions to external API calls, webhooks and human handoff.

AI agent + human support

Use rules for predictable tasks. Bring in AI for the questions you cannot script.

A customer might ask about pricing, a return policy or a product in their own words. Configure Sendwo AI with relevant knowledge so it can help, and give your team a clear route to take over where judgment or access is required.

  • Configure AI using supported FAQs, documents, links and business knowledge.
  • Use connected business actions where configured and authorized.
  • Control escalation to live agents and review unanswered questions.

Lead capture and service journeys

Collect useful information in chat, then put it to work.

Ask what someone needs before routing the conversation. For example, a property enquiry may need a location and budget, while a service request may require an order reference. Save the fields and act on those answers.

01

Ask the right question

Request relevant details through guided messages and input flows.

02

Segment the conversation

Use customer responses, labels or custom fields to distinguish the next action.

03

Connect the data

Pass information to configured Google Sheets, APIs or business systems.

04

Route to your team

Give a sales or support agent the context needed to continue the chat.

Broadcasts and conversations

Launch a campaign. Be ready for every reply.

Broadcasts can begin useful conversations with opted-in customers. Sendwo helps you prepare approved templates, reach selected segments and manage replies as customers ask questions or request assistance.

  • Segment contacts using relevant labels and customer data.
  • Prepare and schedule Meta-approved message templates.
  • Review campaign delivery and engagement information, then continue permitted conversations.

Sequences and timely follow-ups

Don't lose the context after the first message.

Build sequences that help prospects continue a purchase or customers receive a useful reminder. Configure relevant delays and rules instead of relying on someone remembering to send every follow-up.

  • Create timed steps and customer-specific paths.
  • Trigger next actions from permitted events and replies.
  • Respect customer consent, messaging windows and template requirements.

Common questions

WhatsApp chatbot FAQs

Answers to the practical questions that come up before configuring a chatbot for your business.

What is a WhatsApp chatbot?

A WhatsApp chatbot is an automated conversation system connected to the WhatsApp Business Platform. In Sendwo, you can create structured replies and flows, collect information, take actions, and hand a conversation to your team.

Do I need to code to build WhatsApp flows?

No. Sendwo provides a visual builder for messages, buttons, user input, conditions and follow-up paths. Technical knowledge may be useful for custom HTTP API or webhook integrations.

Can Sendwo use AI agents as well as predefined flows?

Yes. Rule-based automation can handle structured paths, while AI capabilities can assist with questions outside those paths. Knowledge configuration, AI usage and human fallback should be set up for the business use case.

Can a person take over a chatbot conversation?

Yes. Sendwo supports live-agent handoff and team conversation management through the shared inbox. Team access and exact capabilities depend on your plan and account configuration.

Can I use my existing WhatsApp Business number?

Often, but the process depends on whether the number is on the Business app, already connected to the Business Platform, or eligible for coexistence or migration. Confirm the supported setup before changing your current number.

Can a chatbot send campaigns and follow-up messages?

Sendwo combines chatbot journeys with broadcasts and follow-up sequences. Businesses need appropriate opt-in and must follow WhatsApp messaging-window and template requirements. Follow-ups cannot be treated as unrestricted free-form messaging.

Can I connect Google Sheets, Shopify, WooCommerce or my own API?

Sendwo supports store integrations and configurable external automation methods, including Google Sheets, HTTP APIs and webhooks. The exact actions depend on the connected systems, credentials and workflow setup.

What does it cost to use Sendwo with WhatsApp?

Your Sendwo software plan and any optional AI usage are separate from Meta’s WhatsApp messaging charges. Meta rates and applicable free-message rules depend on the market and message type. See Sendwo pricing for current plan details.

Can I start for free, and is onboarding included?

You can begin from the available free signup offer. Plan limits and access to onboarding or dedicated support differ by plan. Check pricing and support details before choosing a plan.
