WhatsApp automation

WhatsApp automation that replies, qualifies and follows up

Build workflows visually: answer every lead in seconds, ask qualifying questions, route chats to the right person and follow up on time — without spamming anyone.

01What it means for you

Automation you can see working

01 / 02

Every ad lead answered in seconds

When someone messages from your click-to-WhatsApp ad, Mywa replies instantly, asks a qualifying question and routes them by their answer.

Your advantage: Hot leads reach your sales team while they're still interested; the rest are followed up automatically instead of forgotten.

02 / 02

Triggered by your other tools

Shopify orders and abandoned carts, Google Sheets, webhooks and the API can start automations or receive their results.

Your advantage: Order updates and cart reminders go out on their own — no one on your team has to remember to send them.

02Triggers

Start automations from what customers do

Messages & keywords

A first message, any message, a keyword, or a reply to one of your campaigns.

Click-to-WhatsApp ad leads

Reply the moment someone messages you from a Facebook or Instagram ad.

Time-based

No reply after a while, the 24-hour window about to close, or a fixed schedule.

Changes in your data

A tag added, a status or lead quality changed, a conversation assigned.

Other apps

Shopify orders and abandoned carts, or any system through webhooks and the API.

Manual

Run an automation for a contact by hand from the chat.

03Steps & safety

Powerful steps, with guardrails against spam

Automations can send messages, wait, branch on conditions, update contacts and call other apps — and they respect limits that protect your number.

Conditions & branches

Different paths by answer, tag, business hours or any contact field.

Lead qualification

Ask questions, save answers to the contact and score lead quality.

Optional AI steps

Draft replies or extract details from messages. Drafts are saved for review, not sent blindly.

Quiet hours

Automated messages wait until morning instead of waking customers up.

Per-contact caps

Limits on how many automated messages one person can receive.

Human takeover

Pause automation for a contact, or stop it when an agent replies.

04Ads that learn

Tell Meta which WhatsApp leads were real

Click-to-WhatsApp ads are optimised on the conversations they start — including the ones that go nowhere. Mywa can report back which leads turned out to be real through Meta's Conversions API, so your ads learn to find more of the customers who actually buy.

06FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes — automations can hold a structured conversation: ask questions, branch on answers, and hand over to a person. AI steps are optional.

Only with an approved template, as WhatsApp's rules require. Mywa accounts for the 24-hour window and can trigger just before it closes.

They're built not to: automations are grouped into lanes so two never answer the same message, per-contact caps limit volume, quiet hours hold messages overnight and opted-out contacts are skipped.

No. Automations are built in a visual editor starting from presets. Developers can also trigger them through webhooks and the API.
