Getting leads is one thing, turning them into customers is another. In Iraq, WhatsApp is where business happens. If you’re not following up, sending offers, or keeping in touch, you’re losing sales.

That’s where WhatsApp automation comes in. It helps businesses stay connected, follow up automatically, and drive more sales—without extra work.

Why WhatsApp Marketing is a Must in Iraq

Most businesses lose leads because they don’t follow up. People forget, get busy, or hesitate. A simple WhatsApp reminder can bring them back.

Examples:

📌 A beauty center wants to send a promo for a new facial treatment to all past customers. Instead of manually texting each one, they send an automated WhatsApp blast. Customers instantly receive the offer and can book with one tap.

📌 A real estate agency has buyers who asked about a house but never responded. A few days later, the system sends a follow-up: “Still interested? Let’s book a visit!”

📌 An online store sees customers abandon carts before checkout. The system sends an automatic message with a 10% discount to bring them back.

Simple reminders and follow-ups can make a huge difference.

How WhatsApp Automation Works

With our marketing system, we set up:

✅ Promotional messages – Send offers, discounts, and updates to all customers.

✅ Follow-up messages – Remind leads who showed interest but didn’t act.

✅ Nurture messages – Share tips, updates, and deals to keep customers engaged.

Everything runs on autopilot, so no more forgetting to follow up.

Smart Targeting – Send the Right Messages to the Right People

Not all customers are the same. With WhatsApp automation, you can send the right message to the right person:

🔹 New Leads – Welcome messages & intro offers.

🔹 Interested but Inactive – Reminders & follow-ups.

🔹 Regular Customers – Exclusive discounts & updates.

🔹 VIP Customers – Special deals & priority service.

Personalized messages increase response rates and boost sales.

Best Practices for WhatsApp Marketing in Iraq

Many businesses misuse WhatsApp marketing by sending bulk messages manually, which can get their number flagged or banned. To ensure your WhatsApp marketing is effective, compliant, and safe, follow these rules:

✅ Use an Official Business WhatsApp Number

🔹 Your WhatsApp number should be business-verified and connected to Facebook Business Manager.

🔹 This helps with trust and delivery rates, especially if you’re running WhatsApp ads from Facebook.

🔹 We help set this up during the initial system onboarding.

✅ Send Messages Through an Approved System (Not Manually!)

🔹 WhatsApp has strict rules against bulk messaging from personal accounts. Sending manually can get your number banned.

🔹 Our system ensures messages are sent the right way, using approved API integrations that follow WhatsApp’s terms.

✅ Use Pre-Approved Message Templates

🔹 When reaching out to customers for the first time, WhatsApp requires pre-approved message templates.

🔹 These templates ensure messages are compliant and delivered properly.

🔹 After a customer responds, you can send normal messages freely.

Example Template:

“Hi [Name], we noticed you asked about our services earlier. Let us know if you’re still interested, and we’ll be happy to assist you! Reply ‘YES’ to continue.”

✅ Follow WhatsApp’s Messaging Window Rule

🔹 If a customer doesn’t reply within 24 hours, you cannot send them another free message.

🔹 After this 24-hour window, only pre-approved templates can be used to restart the conversation.

🔹 This is why timing is key—follow-ups should be sent within the right timeframe to keep leads engaged.

✅ Avoid Spam & Respect User Preferences

🔹 Only message customers who opted in or interacted with your business.

🔹 If a customer asks to stop messages, remove them immediately.

🔹 Keep messages relevant, personalized, and not overly frequent.

How to Write a Great WhatsApp Message

Every message should have three key parts:

📌 [Grab Attention] – Start strong to catch interest.

📌 [Show Value] – Explain what’s in it for them.

📌 [Call-to-Action] – Tell them exactly what to do next.

Example:

❌ “Hi, we have a new offer. Let us know if you’re interested.”

✅ “🚀 Limited-time deal! Get 20% off facials this week only. Reply ‘BOOK’ now to reserve your spot! 💆‍♀️”

Clear. Direct. Actionable.

Automate Replies & Never Lose a Lead

Many businesses can’t reply fast enough, and leads go cold. AI-powered chatbots can:

✔ Answer FAQs instantly – Prices, services, booking details.

This saves time and makes sure no lead is ignored.

FAQs – What Businesses Ask Us

🔹 Do I need a unique WhatsApp number for automation?

Yes. To integrate WhatsApp automation into the system, you need a dedicated number that is not active on your mobile. This number will be set up within our system to send automated messages.

🔹 Can I still manage conversations manually?

Yes. If a customer replies to an automated message, the system can route the conversation to any number you choose, so your team can take over when needed.

🔹 Is there a setup process for this?

Yes. Since the WhatsApp number needs to be activated within the system, there is an initial setup required. Our team provides step-by-step video guides to help you complete the process. This must be done by the client once access is granted.

🔹 Can I use my personal WhatsApp number for automation?

No. Since automation requires a dedicated number, we recommend using a separate business number to avoid disruptions to your personal messages.

🔹 What happens if I change my WhatsApp number?

If you change your number, we will need to reconfigure the system to ensure automation continues smoothly. Our team can guide you through this process.

🔹 Will my customers know messages are automated?

No. Messages appear just like normal WhatsApp messages. However, we recommend keeping the tone natural so customers feel they are interacting with a real person.
