WhatsApp is a strong follow-up channel after a call when you need an asynchronous confirmation or reminder path.
Prerequisites
- WhatsApp Business API provider setup.
- Template approval for outbound messages where required.
- Consent policy and opt-out handling defined.
Recommended flow
- Trigger WhatsApp follow-up only for selected outcomes.
- Send structured post-call summary or confirmation message.
- Capture reply status and route back to CRM/work queue.
- Keep voice and WhatsApp interaction history linked by contact ID.
Validation checklist
- Message template renders correctly for target locale.
- Follow-up messages are logged in CRM timeline.
- Opt-out and failure events are handled cleanly.
Known limits
- Template approval can delay rollout.
- Message delivery windows and policy constraints vary by region.
- WhatsApp is best for follow-up, not deep qualification.
