How to Automate Customer Support on WhatsApp in Pakistan

In Pakistan, WhatsApp is the default customer service desk. Most local businesses still handle this manually — one staff member with a single phone, typing replies as fast as they can.

What can realistically be automated

• →Order status updates: Connect your bot to your courier API (TCS, Leopards, or Trax)
• →FAQ responses: Return policies, delivery charges, store locations, pricing
• →Lead qualification: Name, city, and product interest before a human steps in
• →Complaint triage: Log details, provide an acknowledgment number, escalate urgent cases
