Building a WhatsApp Chatbot for Sales

Turn WhatsApp Into Your 24/7 Sales Rep

With over 2 billion active users, WhatsApp is the world’s most popular messaging app—and a goldmine for sales teams. But manually managing inquiries, follow-ups, and lead qualification across WhatsApp is time-consuming and inconsistent.

What if you could deploy an AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot that:

• Greets new leads instantly
• Answers FAQs in your brand voice
• Qualifies prospects using custom rules
• Books demos or sends pricing
• Logs everything in your CRM

All without writing a single line of code?

With COPTIMAS—the agentic workspace for AI-powered business collaboration—you can.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to building a high-converting WhatsApp sales chatbot in under 30 minutes.

Why Use COPTIMAS for WhatsApp Sales Automation?

Unlike generic chatbot builders, COPTIMAS integrates WhatsApp directly into your CRM, sales pipeline, and AI agent ecosystem. That means every conversation:
✅ Is tied to a real contact record
✅ Triggers follow-up tasks or automations
✅ Feeds data back to your team
✅ Can be escalated seamlessly to a human

Plus, your AI agent learns from your past sales messages—so it sounds like you, not a robot.

Step 1: Connect WhatsApp Business API to COPTIMAS

COPTIMAS doesn’t host WhatsApp directly—but it integrates via automation platforms like Zapier, Make.com, or n8n, which connect to the WhatsApp Business API (officially supported by Meta).

How to set it up:

1. Ensure you have a WhatsApp Business account approved for API use (via a Meta BSP like Twilio, MessageBird, or 360dialog).
2. In COPTIMAS, go to Integrations > Automation Hub.
3. Choose your preferred automation tool (e.g., Make.com).
4. Create a workflow that:
   • Listens for new WhatsApp messages
   • Sends message data to COPTIMAS
   • Receives replies from your AI agent and sends them back via WhatsApp

💡 COPTIMAS provides pre-built templates for WhatsApp + Make.com/Zapier to speed this up.

Step 2: Create Your AI Sales Agent in COPTIMAS

Now, build the brain behind your chatbot:

1. Go to AI Agents > Create New Agent
2. Name it (e.g., “Sales Bot – WhatsApp”)
3. Select Use Case: Sales Outreach & Qualification
4. Train your agent by providing:
   • Your product/service details
   • Common FAQs and answers (e.g., pricing, features, onboarding)
   • Your brand voice (e.g., “friendly but professional, like a senior account executive”)
   • Qualification rules (e.g., “Ask for company size and budget. If budget > $1K, mark as Hot Lead”)

COPTIMAS uses this context to generate human-like, on-brand responses.

Step 3: Design Your Conversation Flow

Define how your chatbot engages leads. Example flow:

1. Welcome Message (triggered on first message):“Hi! 👋 Thanks for reaching out to [Your Company]. I’m your AI sales assistant. How can I help?
   • Learn about our pricing
   • See use cases
   • Book a demo”
2. If user selects “Book a demo”:
   • AI asks for name, company, and email
   • Validates email format
   • Sends Calendly link
   • Creates CRM contact + deal in COPTIMAS
3. If user asks about pricing:
   • AI shares tiered pricing (based on your input)
   • Asks: “What’s your team size?” to recommend a plan
   • Logs interest level
4. Escalation Rule:
   • If user says “agent” or “human,” the AI replies:“I’ll connect you to our sales team right away!”
     • Notifies your team via email/Slack with full chat history

All logic is managed visually in COPTIMAS—no code needed.

Step 4: Test, Launch, and Monitor

• Use COPTIMAS’ sandbox mode to simulate conversations
• Send test messages from your personal WhatsApp to your business number
• Review AI responses and refine prompts as needed

Once live:

• Track performance in the Analytics Dashboard:
  • Messages handled
  • Leads qualified
  • Demo bookings
  • Escalation rate
• Continuously improve by adding new Q&A pairs based on real chats

Why This Beats Traditional Chatbots

Most WhatsApp bots are rigid, rule-based, and can’t handle nuanced questions. COPTIMAS’ AI agents:

• Understand intent, not just keywords
• Maintain context across messages
• Learn from your sales playbook
• Integrate deeply with your CRM and workflows

It’s not just automation—it’s intelligent sales enablement.
