WhatsAppBusinessIntegration
Bots · Auto-Quotes · Ordering · Sales Notifications
Your customers already live on WhatsApp. We wire it into your actual sales cycle — a bot that answers 'what's the price for X?' straight from your database, returns a quotation on the spot, takes a repeat order the way a regular customer expects, and pings your team the moment a real lead comes in. Built on the official WhatsApp Business API.

Quick Answers
What is WhatsApp Business integration?
It's the work of connecting the WhatsApp Business API to the systems that actually run your sales — your pricing or product database, your ordering process, your CRM, and your payment and dispatch tools. Instead of a person manually answering every 'what's the price?' message, an integrated WhatsApp setup can pull a live price, return a quotation, take an order, and notify your team automatically, while still handing genuine judgement calls to a human.
Can a WhatsApp bot send quotations automatically?
Yes. A common 912 setup works exactly like this: a customer messages your WhatsApp asking for the price of a product or service; the bot looks the item up in your live pricing database; and a formatted quotation comes straight back in the chat — no staff member tied up, no delay. The customer gets an instant, accurate number, and your team is freed from answering the same question dozens of times a day.
Can it handle repeat orders for a restaurant or shop?
Yes — this is one of the strongest use cases. A returning customer messages your WhatsApp, the system recognises them and their usual order, and asks 'the same as last time?' They confirm, and the order flows to payment or the kitchen/dispatch. It mirrors the convenience a good regular gets in person, at any hour, without a staff member manning the phone — which is exactly how WhatsApp shortens the path from message to sale.
Is this the official WhatsApp Business API?
Yes. We build on the official WhatsApp Business Platform (API), not unofficial workarounds that risk getting your number banned. That means a verified business profile, compliant message templates, and the ability to connect WhatsApp properly to your database, payment, and dispatch systems. The official API is what makes automated quoting, ordering, and notifications reliable enough to run a real sales process on.
Will a bot annoy my customers?
Only a badly designed one. The point isn't to trap people in a menu — it's to answer the repetitive questions instantly and hand everything else to a real person with full context. We map your actual customer conversations first, so the bot handles what it genuinely should (prices, reorders, status) and routes the rest to your team. Done right, customers get faster service, not a worse experience.
What does WhatsApp integration cost?
It depends on how much the integration has to do — a simple auto-reply and lead-notification setup is modest; a full quote-from-database, ordering, and payment flow is a larger build. There are also WhatsApp Business API conversation fees billed by the platform, separate from the build. We scope the conversation flows you actually need at a discovery call and quote fixed-price, so you only pay for the automation that moves your sales.

What This Removes
Staff stuck answering the same 'what's the price?' message all day, slowly, while real buyers wait.
Leads landing in a shared WhatsApp inbox at 9pm and going cold because nobody saw them in time.
Regular customers having to re-explain their usual order every single time they buy.
No record of who asked for what — so there's nothing to follow up and nothing to learn from.
Honest Risk Framing
What this protects against — and what it doesn't.
A bot is only as good as the data behind it
Automated quotes and reorders depend on your pricing and product data being accurate and accessible. If that data lives in someone's head or a messy spreadsheet, the honest first step is getting it into a usable form — sometimes that's the real project before any bot is built.
WhatsApp Business API fees are client-side
Meta charges per-conversation fees on the WhatsApp Business Platform, and a Business Solution Provider sits in the setup. 912 builds and connects the automation; those platform conversation costs are billed to you and scale with your message volume.
Judgement stays human
The bot handles prices, reorders, and status — the repetitive front line. Negotiations, complaints, and anything ambiguous route to a real person by design. We don't try to automate the conversations that need a human; we free your team to focus on them.
How We Build It
Map the conversation. Connect the data. Keep a human in the loop.
Part of the 912 six-phase engagement model — this is how it runs for this service.
Map the Sales Conversation
We walk through how your customers actually buy on WhatsApp today — the questions they ask, where they drop off, and which replies eat your team's time. That becomes the bot's script.
Connect Your Data
We wire the bot to your pricing, product, or order data so its answers are real and current — not a canned menu. Set up on the official WhatsApp Business API, with M-Pesa or dispatch hand-offs where needed.
Launch With a Human Hand-off
The bot handles the repetitive front line; anything it can't answer routes to a real person with full context. We track conversations, conversions, and where to improve in the first weeks live.
Why 912 for WhatsApp
Wired Into Your Real Systems
A bot that just sends canned replies is a toy. We connect WhatsApp to your actual pricing, product, and order data — and to M-Pesa, dispatch, or CRM where it matters — so the conversation does real work, not theatre.
Human + Bot, Not Bot-Only
The bot handles the repetitive 80% — prices, reorders, status checks — and hands the judgement calls to your team with full context. We design the hand-off deliberately, so customers never get trapped in a loop.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about WhatsApp Business Integration.
How does a WhatsApp quotation bot actually work?
A customer messages your WhatsApp asking for the price of a product or service. The bot looks the item up in your live pricing database and returns a formatted quotation straight back in the chat — in seconds, at any hour, with no staff member tied up. The same setup can take the order, hand off to M-Pesa for payment, and notify your team. It is the official WhatsApp Business API connected to your real data, not a canned auto-reply.
Can it remember a returning customer's usual order?
Yes — this is one of the strongest use cases, especially for restaurants, shops, and suppliers. A returning customer messages, the system recognises them and their usual order, and asks "the same as last time?" They confirm and the order flows to payment or dispatch. It gives every customer the convenience a good regular gets in person, 24/7, without a staff member manning the phone — which is exactly how WhatsApp shortens the path from message to sale.
Is this the official WhatsApp Business API?
Yes. We build on the official WhatsApp Business Platform (API), never unofficial workarounds that risk getting your number banned. That means a verified business profile, compliant message templates, and a proper connection to your database, payment, and dispatch systems. The official API is what makes automated quoting, ordering, and notifications reliable enough to run a real sales process on, rather than a fragile hack.
What does WhatsApp integration cost in Kenya?
The build is priced by what it must do — a simple auto-reply and lead-notification setup is modest; a full quote-from-database, ordering, and payment flow is a larger project. Separately, Meta charges per-conversation fees on the WhatsApp Business Platform that scale with your message volume, and these are billed to you. We scope the conversation flows you genuinely need at a discovery call and quote the build fixed-price.
Will automation make my service feel impersonal?
Only if it is built badly. The aim is not to trap customers in a menu — it is to answer the repetitive questions (prices, reorders, order status) instantly and route everything else to a real person with full context. We map your actual customer conversations first, so the bot handles what it should and a human handles judgement, complaints, and negotiation. Done right, customers get faster service, not a worse one.
Can it notify my team when a real lead comes in?
Yes. Beyond answering customers, the integration alerts your team in real time when a qualified enquiry lands, routes it to the right person, and keeps an audit trail of every conversation. That fixes the common problem of leads arriving in a shared inbox late at night and going cold because nobody saw them. Every order or enquiry is logged, so there is always something to follow up and learn from.
