Short answer

How can I automate WhatsApp follow ups with my AI?

You give your agent access to your WhatsApp message history and the ability to send new texts. This lets your AI read incoming customer questions and send replies immediately. You get a hands-off way to manage chat threads and maintain continuity.

The outcomes

Where your conversations land

Once the connection is live, your AI manages these four areas of your customer communication.

ACTIVE

Instant replies

Your agent reads a new message and sends a response right away. This keeps customers from waiting on basic answers.

CONTEXT

Full chat history

The AI looks back at previous messages to understand the conversation. You won't have to repeat details to your agent.

HUMAN

Escalation ready

When a conversation gets too complex, the AI stops. You step in only when the situation requires a person.

LOGS

Message tracking

Every sent and received text is visible to your agent. You can audit what was said at any time.

The workflow

What your AI does when a message arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your customer's phone and your chat interface.

  1. Scan incoming chats

    The agent looks for new messages from your customers to see what they need.

    list_messages

  2. Analyze context

    The AI reviews the recent conversation history to ensure the reply makes sense.

    list_messages

  3. Draft the response

    Your agent writes a reply based on the customer's specific question.

    send_message

  4. Send the reply

    The agent pushes the text directly to the customer's WhatsApp thread.

    send_message
