๐ฌ HOW SRI LANKAN SMES CAN AUTOMATE BUSINESS WITH WHATSAPP
WhatsApp is the default messaging channel for many customers in Sri Lanka. That makes it one of the highest-ROI channels for lead follow-up, order updates, and support โ if you automate the repetitive parts.
๐ฏ WHERE AUTOMATION HELPS MOST
โ
Instant replies when a lead submits a form or clicks a campaign link
โ
Broadcasts for promotions, restocks, and appointment reminders
โ
CRM sync so sales teams see chat history next to the deal
โ
After-hours auto responses with clear escalation to a human
๐ ๏ธ A SIMPLE STARTER STACK
1. Capture leads from your website or Facebook ads into a list or CRM.
2. Trigger a WhatsApp greeting with the next step (quote, catalog, or booking).
3. Tag conversations by intent (sales, support, delivery).
4. Hand off complex cases to a human with context preserved.
โ ๏ธ COMPLIANCE & QUALITY
Use approved templates where required, avoid spammy blasting, and keep opt-outs easy. Quality conversations convert better than volume alone.
