- Two-Factor Authentication: Secure accounts and help customers verify their identity for important transactions.
Add a WhatsApp chat window to your website
Chances are that you will embrace WhatsApp Business, because you prefer to always be there for the customer. To emphasize this extra, we have developed the Saysimple chatwidget. With this you can add a WhatsApp chat window to your website. One click and chatting (from any device) with a chatbot or service agent can begin.
Use a WhatsApp chatbot for automatic replies
Customer service receives many of the same questions every day. It’s a shame to have to type the same answer over and over again. That can be different! Let WhatsApp chatbots handle FAQs. This allows agents to focus on more complex conversations. And should the smart chatbot not come out? Then the chat conversation is passed on to the correct employee.
Reduce phone traffic with WhatsApp call deflection
Reduce time-consuming phone calls by about 30% to 40%? With call to WhatsApp it can be very simple. Fine-tune the automated welcome message in the phone menu and give the caller the choice: “Choose 1 if you want to join the queue, choose 2 if you prefer to be contacted directly via WhatsApp.” Small switch, big time and cost impact.
Start the conversation with WhatsApp message templates
To proactively communicate with customers over WhatsApp, businesses need to use WhatsApp Message templates. WhatsApp templates are standard messages approved by WhatsApp and used for sending notifications to the customer to provide additional service. Think of text templates, media templates and interactive quick reply button templates. Consumers respond within the same channel, creating continuous conversations.
Proactive contact with an active opt-in
WhatsApp does not allow you to just text your customers for every little thing. You need permission from the customer. Consent in the form of an active opt-in. You can read how to win those opt-ins for you in our blog.
