WhatsApp bots: automation with clear boundaries

Design useful service while keeping a clear route to a person.

Portfolio visual example; not research data.

What the documentation says

WhatsApp policy requires opt-in for proactive contact, approved templates outside the service window, and clear escalation paths when using automation. [1]

How I would apply it

My recommendation: start with simple questions and clearly identify automated replies. Do not promise zero missed leads or immunity from account restrictions; operation still matters.

Before you start

Your working checklist — selections stay on this page only.
