Post-Call WhatsApp Automation
The most powerful and underutilized form of automation. After every phone call, automatically send a WhatsApp message with your business information, catalog, or follow-up.
Why Post-Call Automation Works
- 📞 Phone callers are high-intent – They already showed interest by calling
- ⏰ Timing is perfect – They just engaged with you
- 📱 WhatsApp is preferred – 95%+ Indian smartphone users have it
- 🔄 Creates conversation – They can reply and continue engagement

Best Practices for 2026
1. Personalization
Even automated messages should feel personal. Use friendly language, emojis, and make it clear there's a real person behind the business.
2. Value-First Messaging
Don't just say "thanks for calling." Provide immediate value – a catalog link, useful information, or an easy way to continue the conversation.
3. Respect Timing
Use smart cooldowns to avoid sending repeated messages to the same person. WappBlaster lets you set 7-90+ day cooldowns.
4. Mobile-Friendly Content
Your linked content (catalogs, websites) must work perfectly on mobile. 99% of WhatsApp users are on phones.
5. Track and Optimize
Monitor which templates and content perform best. Adjust based on response rates and conversions.
