Solutions / WhatsApp businessesFor owners who sell, book, and support in chat

Your WhatsApp inbox, operated.

GetClaw puts a managed assistant inside the WhatsApp channel your customers already use, then gives it rules, memory, media handling, and owner-safe controls for the daily work that slows you down.

WhatsApp booking thread

ASSISTANT TYPING

Hi, can I book a table for 4 tonight around 8?

I can help. Indoor or terrace seating, and should I use the name on this WhatsApp chat?

10:15

Terrace please. Name is Lina.

10:16

Captured for approval: Lina, 4 people, terrace, tonight at 8. I will send the confirmation once approved.

01

Faster first reply

The assistant handles repeat questions and intake before the owner opens the chat.

02

Cleaner handoff

Every booking, order, or support issue arrives with the missing details already requested.

03

Less inbox drag

Messages that do not match your policy produce no reply, so busy chats stay quiet.

The problem

WhatsApp is where the business happens. It is also where work disappears.

The pain is not messaging. It is unmanaged operations hiding inside messaging: bookings, support, orders, follow-ups, media, and context all competing for the owner's attention.

Missed revenue

Booking and lead messages arrive while the owner is serving customers, driving, or sleeping.

Repeated replies

Hours, prices, availability, order status, and prep instructions are typed again and again.

Messy context

Voice notes, photos, PDFs, and half-finished requests stay buried in long WhatsApp threads.

No clean control

A generic bot either replies too much or needs a heavy Business API setup.

How it works

A front desk workflow, not a chatbot gimmick.

The assistant is useful because it follows an operating policy: where it can listen, when it can answer, what details it must collect, and when to escalate.

04

Let it handle the routine

Bookings, support, orders, media, and follow-ups move through WhatsApp with owner control intact.

Use cases

Four workflows that make WhatsApp businesses faster.

Owners can follow the page quickly because each workflow maps to a real daily job: take bookings, answer support, manage orders, and qualify leads.

Best first automation

Start with one repetitive conversation type. Add broader scopes after the assistant proves the policy.

DATE / TIME / SERVICE

Bookings

Turn a vague message into a complete appointment request before the owner approves.

Ask for date, time, party size, service, location, and name.

Reply with the exact missing detail instead of a long form.

Prepare a confirmation message for owner approval.

FAQ / TRIAGE / ESCALATE

Support

Handle common questions while separating angry, complex, or sensitive cases.

Answer opening hours, prices, refund rules, and prep instructions.

Ask for screenshots, order numbers, photos, or voice-note context.

Escalate payment, legal, VIP, or reputation-risk conversations.

INTAKE / STATUS / UPDATE

Orders

Collect order details and draft status replies without making customers leave WhatsApp.

Collect delivery address, item choices, and special requests.

Summarize incomplete orders for the team.

Draft pickup, dispatch, delay, and delivery updates.

QUALIFY / REMIND / FOLLOW UP

Leads

Convert inbound questions into a structured list of high-intent follow-ups.

Capture need, urgency, budget, and preferred callback time.

Answer basic objections using your rules.

Prepare a daily list of hot leads and missed follow-ups.

What owners see

A control room for the WhatsApp day.

The assistant does not need to pretend it owns the business. It gathers context, drafts replies, handles routine work, and gives the owner a cleaner operating picture.

Customers stay in WhatsApp

No app download, portal login, or new support channel. The business improves behind the same familiar chat surface.

Media becomes work input

Photos, documents, and voice notes can become context for replies, summaries, owner approvals, and next steps.

Owners keep judgment

Sensitive messages, exceptions, and approvals can remain owner-led while the assistant clears the repeat work.

Next step

Start with the WhatsApp work you repeat every day.

Pair WhatsApp, define one reply policy, and let a GetClaw assistant handle the first operational workflow before expanding to the rest of the business.
