One word starts the journey

Keyword triggers

Run a billboard or Instagram post that says "WhatsApp SALE to our number". When someone sends SALE, Chatbox AI tags them, assigns them to a sales agent and fires a welcome-discount template automatically.

  • Exact, contains and fuzzy keyword matching
  • Auto-tag, assign and start a flow
  • Great for offline ads, QR codes and packaging

Nurture on a schedule

Drip campaigns (sequences)

Send a series of messages over days or weeks: Day 1 welcome, Day 3 tips, Day 7 special offer. Sequences stop automatically when the customer replies or buys, so nobody gets irrelevant nudges.

  • Delays in minutes, hours or days
  • Exit conditions on reply or purchase
  • Template messages outside the 24-hour window

  • Calls from any backend over the REST API
  • Order confirmation, COD verification and shipping updates

FAQ

Questions about WhatsApp Automation

Got questions about WhatsApp Automation? We've got answers.

Yes. The native Shopify integration triggers WhatsApp messages on events such as order placed, cart abandoned, order fulfilled and delivered, so you can run confirmations, COD verification and cart recovery without code.

Can I integrate WhatsApp automations with Shopify? Yes. The native Shopify integration triggers WhatsApp messages on events such as order placed, cart abandoned, order fulfilled and delivered, so you can run confirmations, COD verification and cart recovery without code.

How is automation different from the chatbot? The chatbot handles two-way conversational flows when a customer messages you. Automations are background rules, triggers and delayed sequences, for example sending a reminder three days after sign-up, that run even when the customer hasn't said anything.

Can automations message customers after 24 hours? Yes, using Meta-approved template messages. Inside the 24-hour customer service window you can send free-form replies; outside it, WhatsApp requires an approved template, which Chatbox AI selects automatically in sequences.

Which plans include drip campaigns? Keyword triggers are available on every plan, including Starter (₹1,500/month). Drip campaigns and AI-powered routing are included from Growth (₹3,200/month) upwards, and webhook integrations from Pro (₹9,100/month). Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Can I set up an automatic away message on WhatsApp API? Yes. Define business hours and holidays per team, and Chatbox AI automatically sends an away message with a self-serve menu outside those hours, then assigns the chat to an agent when the team is back online.
