What is WhatsApp Chatbot?

Software that automatically converses with customers on WhatsApp to answer, qualify, and act.

A WhatsApp chatbot is an automated system that holds conversations with customers over WhatsApp, understanding messages and responding without human intervention. Chatbots range from rule- and keyword-based menus to AI-driven assistants that interpret natural language and handle open-ended requests.

They can answer FAQs, qualify leads, book appointments, track orders, recommend products, and collect information, working 24/7 across many conversations at once. When a request exceeds the bot's scope, it can hand off to a human agent in the inbox.

Built on the WhatsApp Business API, chatbots are how businesses deliver instant, scalable service without staffing every conversation manually.

Why it matters

A chatbot serves unlimited conversations instantly and around the clock, cutting response times and freeing staff for high-value work.
