Setup
Verify your WhatsApp number
Under Account → Contact Info, add your WhatsApp number. You’ll receive
a 6-digit verification code to confirm it’s yours.
Create the WhatsApp contact
In your assistant’s Contact Details, create a WhatsApp contact. Your
assistant appears as a WhatsApp business contact you can message.
WhatsApp contacts have a one-time setup cost and a monthly fee, paid in
credits — the amounts are shown before you confirm.
Messaging
- Text — full two-way conversation, same memory as every other channel.
- Media — send photos, screenshots, and documents; your assistant reads them and can send files back.
- Reactions — react to your assistant’s messages with emoji; it notices.
The 24-hour window
WhatsApp has a platform-wide rule for business messaging: once you message your assistant, it can reply freely for 24 hours. If more than a day passes without a message from you, your assistant can only send a short, pre-approved greeting — something like “I have a message for you” — until you reply, which reopens the window. So if you get a brief nudge from your assistant instead of the full message, just reply — the real message follows immediately.WhatsApp voice calls
Your assistant can talk to you on WhatsApp calls, not just in text:- You call it — call your assistant in WhatsApp like any contact, and it answers in its voice.
- It calls you — WhatsApp requires your permission before a business can call you. The first time, your assistant sends a call-permission request in the chat; accept it, and from then on it can ring you on WhatsApp.
