WhatsApp today

Most teams still run WhatsApp from one phone on one desk.

  • “Last night’s messages are still unread.”

    Customers write at 11 pm because that’s when they have time. By 9 am the lead has asked someone else.

  • “Only one person can answer.”

    One phone and one WhatsApp Business app. When that person is on leave, the history goes with them.

  • “We never know what WhatsApp costs us.”

    Meta bills template messages. Without a report, the bill is a surprise at the end of the month.

Connect

Connect your number yourself, with Embedded Signup.

Meta’s Embedded Signup runs inside Axonave. Choose the business account and the number, and it’s connected. No developer, and no partner to wait for.

Chatbot

A WhatsApp menu in three languages, built on a canvas.

Reply buttons and lists, questions that save into the CRM, and a separate flow for after hours. The bot remembers the language the customer picked.

  1. English, Bahasa Malaysia and 中文 in one flow
  2. A live phone preview before you publish
  3. Hand over to a person by skill, team or keyword

AI

At 11:41 pm the AI answers from your help centre, and links the article.

It only uses what you published. When it isn’t sure, it collects the details and hands the chat over. Card and IC numbers are masked before the AI sees them.

  1. Answers streamed and split for WhatsApp
  2. Hand-over to the right skill, details collected
  3. Sensitive data masked before any AI call
The AI answers from the published help-centre article and names its source, then offers to take a message

Team inbox

Your whole team answers from the same number.

WhatsApp chats queue beside web chat in one inbox. Each goes to an agent with the right skill, and the customer’s record sits beside the conversation.

  1. Agent Assist suggests articles and drafts a reply
  2. Queue, assigned and closed messages sent on WhatsApp
  3. Transfer between agents and teams

Tickets

A WhatsApp that needs follow-up becomes a ticket you answer on WhatsApp.

After hours, the bot takes a message and opens a ticket with an SLA. Your team replies from the ticket, and the reply reaches the customer on WhatsApp.

  1. Leave a message: a ticket, an email to the team, or both
  2. Your own categories and subcategories
  3. SLA policies with breach alerts
The message left after hours became a ticket with its category, source and SLA, linked to the WhatsApp chat

The 24-hour window

Templates for when the 24-hour window has closed.

While the customer’s 24-hour window is open, your team replies with any message. After that, send one of your approved templates, with an image or a document if you like. A follow-up after a resolved chat opens a new conversation, linked to the first.

  1. Templates managed and sent from Axonave
  2. Follow-ups after a resolved chat, in a linked conversation
  3. A survey asked in the chat, only inside the window

Sales

Click-to-WhatsApp ads, followed all the way to a booked meeting.

A lead from an ad is marked “From an ad”. The AI sales step qualifies it and books a time with your sales team, in the same chat.

  1. Hot, warm or cold, with the customer’s own words
  2. One follow-up if the lead goes quiet; STOP opts out
  3. Microsoft 365 calendar. Google Calendar is coming.

The 24-hour window

One WhatsApp chat, hour by hour.
