How To Turn Frequently Asked Questions Into A WhatsApp Automation
Every business has a set of questions that customers ask again and again. Pricing, timings, process, location, refund rules, and so on. Agents spend a large part of their day repeating the same information. This is the perfect use case for WhatsApp automation.
1. Collect Your Real Life Questions
Do not guess what your customers ask. Go through your recent chats, emails, and support tickets. Write down questions that appear again and again. You can group them like this:
- Before purchase questions
- Order or booking related questions
- Payment and refund questions
- Account and login questions
2. Group Questions Into Topics
On WhatsApp, you cannot show a full website style FAQ page. You need to show small, focused menus. Group your questions into simple topics like:
- About our services
- Pricing and plans
- Booking or order status
- Support and help
These topics will become options in your flow.
3. Write Clear, Friendly Short Answers
Each answer should be easy to read on a mobile screen. Use short paragraphs, line breaks, and bullet points. For complex information, break it into multiple messages instead of one long block.
4. Design The FAQ Flow Structure
Your FAQ automation can follow this simple pattern:
- Welcome message that explains the FAQ menu purpose.
- First level options such as Services, Pricing, Orders, Support.
- Second level questions under each topic, shown as quick replies or numbered menu.
- Answer message plus one smart follow up call to action.
For example, after answering a pricing question, the flow can ask if the user wants to see a demo or speak with an agent.
5. Add A Human Escape At Every Level
Not every question can be covered in automation. Always provide a way to talk to a human. For example, every answer can end with:
If this did not answer your question, reply with the word Agent to talk to our team.
6. Connect FAQ Flow With Other Flows
Your FAQ automation should not live alone. Connect it with:
- Lead capture flows when users show purchase intent.
- Support ticket flows when users report a problem.
- Booking flows when users ask about availability.
This allows you to start from answers and end in real actions.
7. Keep Your Answers Updated
Prices, policies, and features change. Schedule a monthly review of your FAQ flow. A platform like Adsvent lets you update messages quickly so your automation never shares outdated information.
