Automation is what separates businesses that scale from those stuck in manual chaos. WhatsApp automation workflows let businesses in Brasil handle customer communication at scale — without hiring more staff.
What Is WhatsApp Automation?
WhatsApp automation means setting up rules and flows that send messages automatically when certain conditions are met. Examples: welcome message when someone messages for the first time, reminder before an appointment, follow-up after a purchase, birthday wishes.
Types of Automations Available
Welcome flows (greeting + menu), appointment reminders, abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase follow-up, feedback collection, re-engagement campaigns for inactive customers, payment reminders, and tag-based sequences.
Building Your First Automation
In App-ening, go to Automation > Rules. Create a trigger (e.g., "tag added: new_customer"). Define actions: send welcome template, wait 24 hours, send follow-up. Use the visual journey builder for complex multi-step flows with conditions and branches.
Automation Best Practices for Brasil
Time messages during Seg-Sex 9:00 - 18:00 BRT when possible. Use local language and cultural references. Include PIX payment links in transactional sequences. Test automations with a small group before rolling out to your full contact base.
Measuring Automation Impact
Track messages sent, delivered, read, and replied. Monitor conversion rates per automation. App-ening shows funnel analytics for each automation flow — see where contacts drop off and optimise.
