Our WhatsApp automation delivery process

  1. Step 1

    Use case mapping

    We pick one or two highest-ROI WhatsApp use cases (lead capture, support deflection, booking, re-engagement) and document the journey, success metric, and exception paths.

  2. Step 2

    WhatsApp Business API onboarding

    We onboard your Meta Business account through a Meta-approved BSP, set up the WABA, verify your business, and provision the phone number. Account access stays with you.

  3. Step 3

    Template strategy and approval

    We design the template message catalogue (utility, marketing, authentication categories), draft compliant copy, submit to Meta, and iterate to approval — usually 24–72 hours per template.

  4. Step 4

    Flow design and CRM mapping

    We design conversation flows (branching, intent detection, context handoff) and map every conversation event to your CRM (HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce, custom).

  5. Step 5

    Build with AI layer

    Build the conversation engine, AI intent classification, retrieval over your knowledge base for FAQ-style replies, and the human handoff trigger logic. Tested against real numbers.

  6. Step 6

    Routing, alerts, and dashboards

    Routing rules to sales and support, real-time agent inbox, alert thresholds for SLA breaches, and analytics dashboards for reply speed, conversion, and drop-off.

  7. Step 7

    Compliance and consent

    We implement opt-in capture, opt-out handling, 24-hour customer-care window logic, and template-only outreach outside the window — keeping your account in good Meta standing.

  8. Step 8

    Launch, training, and tuning

    Launch to a controlled pilot, train the sales / support team on the agent inbox, monitor the first week of conversations, and tune flows based on real interaction data.

Frequently asked questions

How much does WhatsApp automation cost in India?

Starter WhatsApp automation setups usually begin around ₹25,000 to ₹60,000. Multi-flow systems with CRM integrations and advanced routing typically range from ₹80,000 to ₹2,00,000+. RisonAI Tech quotes fixed-price after a free scoping call.

Do I need the official WhatsApp Business API?

Yes, for scalable automation and compliance. RisonAI Tech sets up the official API workflow through a Meta-approved BSP, configures templates, permissions, and message flow best practices. Account access stays with you.

Can WhatsApp automation integrate with my CRM?

Yes. We connect WhatsApp to HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce, or custom CRMs so chats update contact records, stages, notes, and tasks automatically. Conversations are summarised and intent is extracted for the sales team.

Will customers still be able to talk to a human?

Absolutely. RisonAI Tech builds seamless handoff logic so high-intent or complex conversations are escalated to the right team member with full context. No customer ever feels stuck talking to a bot.

How long does implementation take?

Most systems launch in 2-6 weeks depending on number of flows, CRM complexity, and approval timelines for WhatsApp templates. Template approvals from Meta usually take 24–72 hours per template.

Is this useful for small businesses?

Yes. Even a single lead capture and follow-up flow can save multiple manual hours each week and improve response consistency for small teams. Starter setups at ₹25,000 are designed specifically for SMBs.

What is a BSP and why do I need one?

A BSP (Business Solution Provider) is a Meta-approved partner that provisions your WhatsApp Business API account. RisonAI Tech works with multiple BSPs (Twilio, AiSensy, Gupshup, 360dialog) and recommends one based on your volume, region, and budget.

Can WhatsApp automation handle Hindi and other regional languages?

Yes. RisonAI Tech builds multilingual WhatsApp flows that detect the customer's language and respond accordingly. Hindi + English is the most common configuration; Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and Bengali are supported on request.

Will my account get flagged or blocked by Meta?

Not if compliance is built in. We implement opt-in capture, opt-out handling, 24-hour customer-care window logic, and template-only outreach outside the window. Done correctly, automation strengthens account standing rather than risking it.

Can you build WhatsApp commerce flows?

Yes. WhatsApp commerce (catalog, cart, checkout) integrations are supported for Shopify, Razorpay, Stripe, and custom storefronts. Use cases: cart-abandonment recovery, in-chat checkout, post-purchase upsell.
