What it does and what it's for

Automating tasks with Whapi allows you to send messages, images, videos, or documents to specific chats and wait for the user's response before proceeding. This integration facilitates interactive and efficient communication with your contacts.

With customization options such as sending filters, inclusion of multimedia files, and interactive buttons, you can tailor each message to your needs. Additionally, upon receiving responses, you obtain detailed data like the phone number, user name, and message content, optimizing your automation processes.

The following tags are currently supported in the messages: b, strong , i, em, u, ins, s, strike, del, a, code, pre.
You can include URL Buttons and Callback Buttons in posts.

How it works

How it fits in an automated task

A Botize task pairs a trigger with one or more actions. This piece is one of them.

Pick a trigger

The event that starts the task, from this app or any other.

This action runs

Botize performs it automatically using the data the trigger delivers.

Turn it on and forget it

The task runs on its own from then on. If something's off, tweak it or we'll help you.
