WhatsApp automation in Umm Al Quwain for small teams with big problems
Two people cannot be everywhere at once and small teams cannot afford to lose enquiries on personal phones. We build the shared inbox that never forgets.
Live in two to three weeks. Every enquiry captured with context.
60

Meta verification is the slow part.
What you get with WhatsApp automation
Everything below is in scope from day one. No modules to unlock later.
Instant reply on every enquiry
Buyer sends WhatsApp, gets an instant response that you got it, then someone reads it when they see it.
Shared inbox for a tiny team
One number instead of enquiries trapped on personal phones. Both of you see everything.
Escalation when nobody reads
If an enquiry sits unread for a few hours, escalate to someone. Never forgotten.
Simple logging so you see what happens
When did this come in, when did we answer, what did we say. Simple tracking.
Logged to a simple sheet or CRM
If you use a spreadsheet, log there. If you use CRM, log there. Works with what you have.
Opt in collected at signup
Only message people who asked. Simple lists keep your quality rating open.
Two people cannot be in two places at once
The owner is on a job and misses enquiries. The other person is in a meeting. By the time anyone sees the WhatsApp three days have gone by and the buyer has bought elsewhere.
We build an inbox where enquiries get instant acknowledgement and everyone sees what is coming in. Nothing gets forgotten because it is in one place, not on someone's personal phone.
- Instant acknowledgement when you cannot read it
- Enquiry routed to whoever can handle it
- Nothing lost on personal phones
- Both of you see what is happening
The system needs to make sure someone sees it
We are not building a chatbot. We are building a system that says something, records it and makes sure a person reads it.
Escalation after two hours if nobody has picked it up. That is all a two person team needs.
- Acknowledge and capture, human close
- Escalation after a reasonable time
- Simple logging so you see the pattern
- Nothing complex, all automatic
Three weeks is mostly Meta waiting for us
Meta takes time to verify the business. We file immediately and build while approval sits in the queue. When approval comes you launch that day.
One decision: Once registered to Business API the number stops working in WhatsApp Business app on a phone. Most UAQ teams keep the number for business and get a second for personal use.
