What is a WhatsApp CRM

Though the WhatsApp Business App is still a popular tool for communicating with clients, it won’t be able to cope with rapidly growing teams where the volume of messages is huge.😕

Teams like this will need a version of WhatsApp that multiple users on multiple devices can use simultaneously to answer incoming queries. That’s when CRM with WhatsApp integration comes into the picture.🤩

WhatsApp CRM integrates a WhatsApp Business API account and a CRM. Businesses usually use a WhatsApp CRM to receive and reply to WhatsApp messages within their CRM.

WhatsApp CRM solution allows businesses to send and receive WhatsApp messages right from the CRM while automatically capturing the contact details of potential leads.🙌

Benefits of using a CRM with WhatsApp integration

WhatsApp CRM is the perfect choice for businesses that want to connect with potential leads using various communication channels (including WhatsApp). What sets Kommo apart from a list of competitors is its unique messenger-based sales features that allow you to:

Receive all your leads in the unified inbox

With Kommo WhatsApp integration, you will have a unified inbox for all your business conversations stored in a single app. 📥 Whether it’s phone calls, text messages, emails, or messenger chats like WhatsApp, you can send and receive messages from different channels directly in Kommo.

The best part is that every interaction with a potential lead will be centralized inside their lead card, no matter which channel (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, or something else) you use.

Kommo keeps everything perfectly organized so you can focus on what matters most.😌

Connect the whole team to conversations

One of the main benefits of Kommo WhatsApp Integration is being able to add multiple team members to the account at the same time. So once you’ve connected WhatsApp to the CRM, it’s time to bring in the crew.😎

Your team can respond to WhatsApp messages directly in the CRM. And not only can they chat with the leads but also use internal chat to communicate with their colleagues, set tasks, add notes and tags, and move the leads through the sales process.

So, if your colleague is an expert at a certain kind of service, you can request their help without leaving the chat. Simply send them a message right in the lead card, and they can take over the conversation, immediately replying to the lead. The best part, the lead won’t even know the responses come from a different person!🤫

Another great thing about Kommo is that you can use multiple WhatsApp accounts at the same time if needed. Each employee can use a different number, or several people can communicate from the same account - it’s all up to you.😉

Set automatic actions

As your business grows, so does the number of customers and inquiries. Replying to each query manually is time-consuming, and you are bound to miss a few replies here and there.😥

With the help of Kommo WhatsApp integration, you can structure and optimize your communication processes with potential leads.

Whether it’s talking with leads, targeting ads, setting reminders, or analyzing data, Kommo can do it all!😱 Your leads will be kept engaged while being automatically moved through your pipeline. And with the repetitive tasks handled by the system, your team can focus on what they do best: selling.🤑

Track team’s performance with stats and analytics

Not sure if someone has already taken care of the new potential lead? 🤔

With Kommo, you won’t need to guess. The CRM will allow you to view and create lead cards, storing the entire communication history with the lead.

On top of that, you will be able to set up tasks and reminders for your teammates and measure their performance with the help of our reporting tools.🛠️

As an admin, you can also set roles and levels of access individually or by the team, ensuring that each user only can view and modify what is permitted.

Track lead’s progress in the sales pipeline
