About
About WhatsApp automation
For businesses whose customers already live on WhatsApp, it replaces copy-paste replies, messages missed after hours and the manual logging of every conversation into a CRM. Typical builds include instant replies to new inquiries, appointment and payment reminders, document collection bots that ask for an ID or a signed form, and status updates sent when a record changes in another system. Typical results are replies in under a minute, fewer no-shows and several hours a week of staff time returned. Mirapps builds these flows on the official API with approved message templates, connects them to the systems a business already uses, such as Google Sheets, a CRM or an ERP, and hands the conversation to a person whenever it needs judgment.

FAQ
Common questions
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API, or can the regular app be automated?
Reliable automation needs the official WhatsApp Business API, accessed through an approved provider. The regular app and unofficial tools risk a banned number and can break without warning. Mirapps helps set up the API account, register the business number and get message templates approved, so automated messages run on a supported channel that grows with volume.
Can a WhatsApp bot hand a conversation over to a real person?
Yes. Every flow we build has a clear handoff rule, for example when a customer asks something outside the script, types a keyword such as agent, or the AI is unsure of the answer. The conversation is then assigned to a team member with the full history attached, and the bot stays quiet until that person closes the thread.
Which systems can WhatsApp automation connect to?
Most common business systems: CRMs, Google Sheets, booking calendars, ERPs, online stores, accounting software and internal databases. Incoming messages can create or update records, and changes in those systems can trigger outgoing messages, such as a payment link when an invoice is issued or a confirmation when an appointment is booked.
How long does it take to launch a WhatsApp automation?
Simple automations, such as an instant reply or a reminder sequence, are usually live within days once the business number is connected and the templates are approved. Flows that involve AI, several systems or approval steps are built and rolled out in stages, so the team can test each part with real conversations before the next one goes live.
