Our recipe will guide you through 10 easy steps to complete your WhatsApp journey. Set up WhatsApp Business to communicate with clients easily.

WhatsApp Business Features

Away message – WhatsApp’s take on Out of office. Access via Settings > Business tools. Set yourself as away with a helpful message for clients letting them know alternative contact details.

Hello, sorry I am away until 10th May, please contact our office on 02085556666.

Product catalogue – here we can list your products. Customers can get a quick overview in WhatsApp, I have a few of this setup and I must admit I have never used them or seen them used.

Greeting messages – this is a great feature, one I use regularly. Every time a new contact messages they will automatically be sent a welcome message.

Thank you for contacting South Brighton Lettings. Please let us know how we can help.

It’s reduced my need to deal with these requests while I am working and so far every person has followed the greeting message requests to contact the office.

Social Media – Add our WhatsApp details to your Facebook and Instagram page. 

WhatsApp Web – WhatsApp provide a browser based version of their platform. This is available for both business and personal accounts. Navigate to https://web.whatsapp.com/. This will display a QR code, once WhatsApp is setup on your phone. Press the settings menu and select Linked Devices and scan the QR code on your desktop.
