πŸ’¬Send WhatsApp Template

Let your voice agent send a pre-approved WhatsApp template to the contact during a phone call β€” for example a registration form, a follow-up link, or key information the contact asked for.

With this action, your voice agent can send a WhatsApp message to the contact while the call is happening. The message is one of your pre-approved WhatsApp templates, so the contact receives it instantly β€” no need to wait for the call to end.

Common use cases:

  • Send a registration or sign-up form when the contact shows interest.

  • Share a link with more information the contact asked about.

  • Confirm details in writing while still on the call.

Before you start, you need two things:

  1. A WhatsApp channel connected to your workspace.

  2. A message template approved by Meta. Only approved templates can be sent.

If you don't have them yet, the action setup will guide you to create them.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Select Your Agent

  • Navigate to your agent list and select the voice agent you want to add the action to.

Step 2: Access Agent Actions

  • Once inside the agent, go to the Settings tab.

  • Within Settings, find and click on Agent Actions, then click Add and select Send WhatsApp template.


Step 3: Configure the Action

  • Name: a short identifier for the action (used in call logs).

  • Instructions: tell the agent when to send the template. For example: "Send the WhatsApp template when the contact confirms they want to start the registration process."

  • WhatsApp channel: the channel (phone number) the message will be sent from.

  • WhatsApp template: the template to send. Only Meta-approved templates appear in this list.

  • Phone number to send to: by default the message goes to the number being called. You can leave it as is for most cases.

  • Template variables: if your template has variables (like the contact's name), they appear here pre-filled. The agent fills them automatically with the contact's data, or asks for them during the call if the information is missing.


Step 4: Save and Test

  • Click Confirm to save the action.

  • Make a test call and ask the agent to send you the template β€” you should receive the WhatsApp message while still on the call.
