Ten concrete uses
1. Answering frequent questions
Opening hours, addresses, prices, availability: repeated questions are often most messages. The chatbot answers at any hour from your information.
2. Taking bookings
Practices, salons, garages, gyms: the customer picks a free slot and gets a reminder the day before. Fewer calls, fewer no-shows.
3. Confirming cash-on-delivery orders
For online shops, a WhatsApp confirmation before shipping reduces parcels refused at the door.
4. Tracking an order
With an order number, the customer gets the current status without calling customer service.
5. Qualifying sales requests
The chatbot asks for need, budget and city, then passes a complete request to the right salesperson and the CRM.
6. Sending a catalogue or quote
Products, rates or packages sent in seconds, with a link to order or request a quote.
7. Handling restaurant and hotel bookings
Table, room or tour: request, availability and confirmation in the same conversation.
8. Payment and renewal reminders
A reminder before a membership, invoice or fee is due, with a payment link if needed.
9. Collecting customer reviews
A message after the service to measure satisfaction and invite happy customers to leave a review.
10. Routing to the right person
Sales, support, accounting: the chatbot identifies the request and passes it to the right team.

Frequently asked questions
Does a WhatsApp chatbot replace customer service?
No. It handles simple, repetitive requests at any hour and passes the rest to your team with the conversation history. Your agents spend less time on routine questions and more on the cases that really need their expertise, which customers notice.
Which industries use WhatsApp chatbots most?
Those that receive many similar messages: health and wellness for bookings, online retail for orders, restaurants and hotels for reservations, real estate for viewing requests and services for quotes. The common thread is a high volume of similar questions. Start with those.
Can the chatbot answer in Darija and Arabic?
Current AI models understand Darija written in Arabic or Latin script well, with limits on very local expressions. Test with real conversations from your customers and plan a hand-over to an agent when a question stays ambiguous. English and French work too.
How long does it take to launch a first use?
A simple first use, such as frequent questions, can be set up quickly once access to the WhatsApp Business API is granted. Verifying the business with Meta and getting message templates approved often set the pace of the project, so start those early.
