Collect WhatsApp survey answers straight into your database

Collects survey answers from customers over WhatsApp and saves each response directly into your database.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats customer answers next question; it retries when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Getting customers to fill out a web form is a struggle, but they'll happily answer a few questions in a chat app they already use. Manually copying those chat answers into a spreadsheet or database afterward is slow and error-prone.

Who it fits

Businesses collecting survey or intake responses from customers over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A customer starts chatting with the WhatsApp bot
  2. The bot asks each survey question one at a time
  3. Each answer is saved to the database as it's given
  4. A reminder is sent if the person doesn't finish
  5. A completion reward is delivered once the survey is done
What you get

Customer responses captured without anyone typing them in

Customers answer your survey right inside WhatsApp and every response lands directly in your database, ready to use.

What you get

A fully saved, organized set of questionnaire answers in your database, plus a completion reward for the customer.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account and a Postgres database.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
