Your customers live on WhatsApp. Your competitors are ignoring them.
WhatsApp automation isn’t about spamming. It’s about immediate, helpful, and personal replies to every enquiry – even at 2 AM on a Sunday.
Zeeder integrates WhatsApp with your lead management, so no message ever falls through the cracks.
The Problem: WhatsApp Leads Get Lost
Typical scenario:
- A prospect messages your business WhatsApp number: “Hi, do you have this car in stock?”
- Your salesperson sees it 3 hours later (they were with another customer).
- The prospect has already messaged three other dealers. You lose the sale.
With Zeeder’s WhatsApp automation, that message gets an instant reply, a qualification questionnaire, and a transfer to a human if needed – all within seconds.
How Zeeder WhatsApp Automation Works
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Customer sends a WhatsApp message (text, voice note, or image). |
| 2 | Zeeder AI reads the intent. |
| 3 | Auto-reply with relevant info (price, availability, booking link). |
| 4 | If the lead qualifies, it’s pushed to your CRM. |
| 5 | Your sales team gets a notification: “Hot lead – reply now.” |
All conversations are logged, auditable, and POPIA-compliant.
