WhatsApp automation uses the official WhatsApp Business API to handle conversations automatically: answering common questions, capturing leads, qualifying them and following up, then handing over to a person when needed. Aivolution builds this around your existing tools and your real customer journey, so the right message goes out at the right time without anyone typing it.

How it works

From first call to working system.

1

Free audit

We map how your customers use WhatsApp today and where automation saves the most time.

2

Conversation design

We design the flows: what gets answered automatically, what gets qualified, and when a human steps in.

3

Build and test

We build on the official Business API and test against real conversations before going live.

4

Deploy

We connect it to your CRM, calendar and payment tools and hand it over working, with documentation.

5

Support

We monitor delivery and refine the flows so the automation keeps performing as you grow.

What we build

Production systems, not prototypes.

Instant first response

Every enquiry gets answered immediately, day or night, so leads never go cold waiting.

Lead capture and qualification

The conversation collects what you need and scores the lead before it reaches your team.

Automated follow-up

Polite, well-timed follow-ups go out automatically until the customer responds or opts out.

Human handover

When a conversation needs a person, it routes to the right team member with full context.

POPIA-aware messaging

Consent capture, clear opt-out and sensible record-keeping are built into every flow.

Connected to your stack

Bookings, payments and CRM updates happen automatically off the back of the conversation.

Common questions

About WhatsApp Automation.

The WhatsApp Business API itself has no licence fee, but Meta charges per conversation, with the rate depending on the conversation type and your volume. The build and automation around it is what Aivolution prices, starting from R75,000. We walk through the expected Meta conversation costs for your volume during the audit so there are no surprises.
