Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about WhatsApp Business Auto Reply.

How to set automatic reply on WhatsApp Business?

Connect your WhatsApp Business account to WADesk, create an auto-reply rule, and set a keyword reply or default reply message. Once the rule is enabled, the system will automatically respond to incoming messages based on your settings.

How does keyword-based auto reply work?

You create a keyword trigger and assign an automatic message—when a customer’s text contains that keyword, WADesk sends your preset WhatsApp auto reply message, supporting text, images, video, voice notes, or customer name replacements for more natural automated responses.

How do I automate my WhatsApp Business?

You can automate WhatsApp Business by using tools like WADesk to set automatic replies, keyword triggers, and message rules. This allows incoming messages to receive instant responses without manual replies.

Can I choose which WhatsApp account the auto reply applies to?
