WhatsApp Business integration with AI agents
WhatsApp Business is the version of WhatsApp for companies, with a business profile, a catalog and, on the platform version (Cloud API), message sending at scale from an official number. It is a main channel for customer service and sales in many companies. The agent answers and sends messages from your company's official number through a native connector to the WhatsApp Cloud API, using Meta-approved templates outside the 24-hour window.
What AI agents do with WhatsApp Business
Qualifying leads from ads
The agent replies within seconds to anyone who clicked a click-to-WhatsApp ad, asks the qualifying questions agreed with sales and logs the lead in the CRM. When the lead is ready, it brings in the salesperson in the same thread with a summary of the conversation.
Invoice copy and due-date reminder
The day before the due date, the agent sends an approved template with the payment link or code. If the customer asks for more time, the renegotiation proposal goes to finance for approval before anyone replies.
Order status without a queue
The customer asks where the order is, and the agent checks the ERP and the carrier to reply with updated tracking. A complaint about a delay opens a card in the after-sales process with an SLA deadline.
Appointment and site-visit confirmation
The agent confirms visit or appointment times with the customer, reschedules when asked and updates the team's calendar. Repeated no-shows become an alert for the coordinator.

Questions about WhatsApp Business and AI agents
Does iTeam integrate with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. WhatsApp Business is a native iTeam connector, linked through Meta's official Cloud API on your company's number.
Can the agent send any message to any contact?
No. Outside the 24-hour window it uses only templates approved by Meta, and you decide which topics it handles alone and which need a person's approval before sending.
Can a human agent take over mid-conversation?
Yes. The conversation can be passed to a person at any time with the full history, and the agent goes back to following it when the person releases it.
