Answering order questions on WhatsApp before the support team logs in

A growing online retailer was spending most of its support time on order status questions. Gionix connected WhatsApp to the store so those questions answered themselves.

Problem

What was happening

The support inbox and WhatsApp were dominated by three questions: where is my order, how do I return an item, and is this in stock. Each needed a lookup in the store admin before a reply could be sent, and evening and weekend messages waited until the next working day.

What we built

  • 01

    WhatsApp Business connected to the store platform so order status and tracking can be looked up in the conversation.

  • 02

    A knowledge base built from the return and delivery policies with answers approved by the store owner.

  • 03

    Conversations that mention damage, refunds or frustration handed to a person immediately with the history attached.

  • 04

    A post-delivery message sequence that shares tracking, confirms delivery and asks for a review.
