WhatsApp Business AI Automation
Automate WhatsApp Business conversations with AI-powered support, template messages, and governed responses — for the 2B+ users on the world's largest messaging platform.
The Problem
WhatsApp is the primary communication channel in India, Brazil, Southeast Asia, and much of Europe and Africa. Businesses receive thousands of messages daily but the WhatsApp Business API requires template-approved messages for outbound and has strict formatting rules. Manual support doesn't scale. Generic chatbots send canned responses that don't match the conversational nature of WhatsApp.
The Solution
JieGou's WhatsApp Business integration connects via the official API and handles inbound messages with AI-powered workflows. Messages are triaged by intent and urgency. Knowledge-base-grounded responses answer FAQ questions in real time. Template messages are used for outbound follow-ups (as required by WhatsApp policy). Every interaction is governed by confidence thresholds and audit trails.
Workflow Steps

Recipe StepWebhook receives the message from WhatsApp Business API. Media attachments (images, documents, voice) are processed alongside text.
Intent Classification

If support request
ConditionRoutes support requests through the AI support pipeline. Sales inquiries go to the sales team. Complaints trigger escalation workflows.
Generate AI Response
Recipe StepRetrieves relevant context from knowledge bases using RAG. Generates a WhatsApp-formatted response respecting character limits and rich formatting (*bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~).
Escalation with Context
