Customer Verification and Data Collection via WhatsApp
Forget endless emails and tedious forms—collect and confirm client info automatically, right where your customers already are: WhatsApp.
Manually verifying customer codes and collecting their personal details via WhatsApp is a tedious, error-prone process that eats up valuable hours each week. Responding to inquiries, searching through records, and following up for missing or mistyped data can lead to lost leads, dissatisfied customers, and mistakes in your database. If you skip automation, you risk wasting time, losing money on potential clients who slip through the cracks, and hampering your team's visibility over who’s been verified and recorded.
This Botize formula streamlines the entire workflow by instantly reacting to every WhatsApp message, searching your Google Sheets for code verification, and prompting the user only if their code exists. Clients simply reply with their personal details, which are automatically matched to the correct row in your sheet—no manual intervention needed. Every interaction is acknowledged, and your Google Sheets database stays perfectly updated in real-time, eliminating data entry mistakes and freeing your team for higher-value tasks.
Ready to leave manual chaos behind? Follow the simple step-by-step to plug in your Google Sheet, tweak the WhatsApp messages as you see fit, and set this solution on autopilot. The formula’s flexible—adjust frequencies, add more filters, and make it truly yours. Or jump straight in with the ready-made Botize setup; your customers and your schedule will thank you!

⌾︎ You run intake or onboarding—events, courses, clubs, clinics—and need to confirm and collect data fast.
⌾︎ You’re tired of chasing info by hand, or already drowning in WhatsApp chats and spreadsheets.
✕ You only collect info occasionally and don’t mind doing it manually.
✕ You never use WhatsApp to connect with customers.
✓ Set your own personalized WhatsApp messages—friendly, formal, whatever fits your brand.
✓ Choose which data to collect and where it’s saved in Google Sheets: name, email, phone, anything.
✓ Connect to your preferred Google Sheet (shareable URL)—data goes exactly where you need it.
This automation is triggered when a WhatsApp message is received. The message is assumed to be a code, and the task starts by searching for it in column A of a Google Sheets document. If the code is not found, the user is informed; if it is found, the system asks the customer to provide their personal details. When the user replies with their personal data, the task adds it to the corresponding row in Google Sheets linked to the code sent in the first message. The user is then notified that their data has been successfully registered. You must provide the URL of your Google Sheets document in the task and customize the messages according to your needs.
