The most common applications of WhatsApp automation fall into three groups: informing (order status, shipping updates, bookings), scheduling (booking appointments, reminding, rescheduling), and qualifying (lead questions, handing off to sales). You build all three in the same editor with the same building blocks; the difference is in the questions you ask and the system you connect to.

View →Where do you start?
Pick the process that costs you the most time right now, not the one that sounds cleverest. For online stores that's almost always order status; for practices and garages appointment reminders; for service businesses lead qualification. One flow that works is worth more than five half-finished ones.

Frequently asked questions
Which automation delivers results fastest?
Catching your most common question. For online stores that's order status; for practices it's appointment reminders. Those flows take an hour to build and cut your inbox down immediately.
Can I put several use cases in one flow?
Yes, with a menu as the entry point. In practice it's clearer to build a separate flow per process and reach them all from one entry flow.
Do I need an approved template for every use case?
Only for messages where you start the conversation. Replies within the 24-hour service window don't need a template.
