The problem it solves

Your team monitors WhatsApp groups for potential leads and support requests, but messages get buried in the noise of group chat. By the time someone notices a hot lead, it may already be too late.

Who it fits

Sales and support teams using WhatsApp groups as a lead or customer channel.

How it works

  1. A new message appears in a monitored WhatsApp group
  2. The system checks the message and sorts it as a lead, support request, or general chatter
  3. A formatted alert is sent to the right Slack channel for that category
  4. Hot leads automatically get an instant WhatsApp reply
What you get

Leads sorted the moment they message

You get WhatsApp messages sorted by type, with hot leads answered right away and everything logged in Slack.

What you get

A categorized Slack alert for your team and, for hot leads, an automatic WhatsApp reply.

What you need

A WhatsApp business messaging account and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
