NewSince 1 October, Meta charges for WhatsApp messages. See what it costs you, all inMeta’s new WhatsApp fees, explained

How the assistant works with your team

The front desk is there to catch what your team cannot, at 3 am or in the Friday rush, and to step back when a person takes over.

Six questions, about three minutes to read.

Does it take over my WhatsApp number?

No. Your customers keep messaging the number they already know. With Meta’s coexistence option the same number works in the WhatsApp Business app and through the assistant at once, so your team keeps replying from the app. A few app features change: disappearing messages, view-once and live location are turned off, and broadcast lists become read-only.

What happens when my staff reply in a chat?

The assistant goes quiet in that chat and leaves it to your team. It does not talk over a person.

What does it do when it does not know, or the customer is upset?

It does not guess. It tells the customer your team will reply, and alerts you with the details. For a complaint it apologises briefly and calmly, makes no excuses, and hands the chat to you. For anything medical it gives no advice and brings in your team.

Which bookings does it confirm on its own?

Small bookings it confirms on the spot, checked against your opening hours and the space you set. Bigger groups it sends to you to approve, and it never tells the customer they are confirmed until you say so.

Can I switch it off?

Yes. Send the assistant “pause” (or “pause 2h” for two hours) and it stops answering every customer, and “resume” brings it back. You decide.

What do I see?

Every chat, every booking, and a summary each month of how many chats it answered and how many bookings it took. In the 30-day pilot you watch all of it before you pay anything.
