One number, the whole team

CRM for WhatsApp: every chat with its customer and its owner.

Your company’s WhatsApp stops living on one phone: the whole team answers from one inbox, and every chat arrives with its customer record and its owner.

CRM for WhatsApp

  • The number belongs to the company
  • The list of conversations
  • A record from the first message
  • Who is looking after each chat

What a CRM for WhatsApp is

A CRM for WhatsApp is software that keeps every WhatsApp conversation next to the customer’s details and lets several people handle the same number without getting in each other’s way. In Aipiter, your company’s number is connected through the official WhatsApp Business platform; chats arrive in a shared inbox, everyone who writes in has a record with their number already confirmed and their full history, and every conversation shows its owner.

What happens to each message

From the inbox to the record, and from the record to a person.

Three things happen every time someone writes to your company’s number.

  1. It lands in the shared inbox

    The message shows up in «Conversations» with its channel, its contact, who is handling it and the latest activity. A filter separates what «Needs attention» from what is «In progress» and from what is already «Resolved».

  2. It finds its record

    If the number was not in your panel yet, the first message creates the record with it, marked as confirmed by the channel. If the person was already there, because you imported them or added them by hand, the conversation joins their «Activity», alongside their bookings and their tasks.

  3. Someone takes it

    «Take conversation» puts the chat in one person’s hands and their name moves to «Assignee». If the agent was answering, «Pause AI» stops it in that conversation until somebody presses «Resume AI».

What happens to a WhatsApp message inside Aipiter.

None of these pieces depends on a particular phone or on who carries it in their pocket.

  • The number belongs to the company

    We connect your company’s number through Meta’s official WhatsApp Business platform, and each team member answers it from their own account. Your customers keep writing to the same number as always.

  • The list of conversations

    Each row in «Conversations» shows the contact, the status, the assignee and the last activity. The filter separates «Need attention», «In progress» and «Resolved», and anything without an owner shows as «Unassigned».

  • A record from the first message

    The record is created with the number the customer writes from, and the agent notes their name and language if they give them. In the lists, phone numbers are hidden.

  • Who is looking after each chat

    When you take a conversation, your name becomes the assignee and the whole team sees where it stands. No more chats nobody answers, and no more double replies.

  • The agent, chat by chat

    Each conversation shows whether the agent is handling it: «AI active», «AI paused» or «AI off · A person is handling it». Its steps stay in «Assistant activity», and how it decides is explained in WhatsApp assistant.

  • Every send, with its status

    Each reply shows whether it was delivered and read, from «Accepted by Meta» to «Read». Voice notes, photos and documents are passed to a team member, who reviews them calmly.

From the phone to the inbox

The same number, two ways of handling it.

WhatsApp on the front-desk phone

  • One phone for the whole team, passed from hand to hand.
  • The chat does not say who the customer is or what they booked last time.
  • Nobody knows who is answering whom, and sometimes two people reply.
  • If the phone changes or the person who handled it leaves, the conversations leave too.

WhatsApp connected to Aipiter

  • An official number the whole team handles, each person with their own account.
  • Every chat leads to its customer, with their bookings and their open tasks.
  • The owner and status of each conversation, in plain view for everyone.
  • Conversations stay in the panel even when the person handling them changes.

When a business needs a CRM for WhatsApp

While a single person answers from their phone, everything fits in their memory. Problems start when two or three people answer: the phone changes hands several times a day, someone asks who replied to a customer and nobody knows what was left open yesterday. With two of those signs, a CRM joined to WhatsApp saves time from the first week.

The WhatsApp Business app or a CRM on the official API

The free app is fine to start with, but it is still a phone and knows nothing about your customers outside the chat. With the number connected to the official platform, messages move to a team inbox, each chat joins a record and the agent replies with your business information. What the API involves is in WhatsApp Business API.

The same number in different businesses

Each sector uses WhatsApp in its own way, and the record keeps what really happens in the chat:

  • In an academy, parents write for their children, who appear in their care.
  • In hair and beauty salons, appointments are asked for at odd hours and reception reviews them on arrival.
  • In a gym, people ask about times and places, and each booking stays with the member.
  • In physiotherapy, time changes are common, and the old slot is freed.
  • For psychologists, discretion: hidden numbers and nothing clinical in the chat.

WhatsApp, personal data and GDPR

An opt-out from messages is recorded per channel and respected from that moment, access or erasure requests are noted in the record and each account sees what its role allows. The measures are in security; what data we process and why, in the privacy policy.

Questions about the WhatsApp inbox

Do I need the official WhatsApp API?

Yes. The number is connected through Meta’s official WhatsApp Business platform, and we guide you through the sign-up. What it involves is explained in WhatsApp Business API.

How many people can answer the same number?

Everyone on your team with access to the inbox, each with their own user and role. Each conversation shows who is looking after it.

Do my customers have to do anything?

Nothing. They write to the usual number from their WhatsApp; what changes is how you answer it.

Can I reply after a day has passed?

WhatsApp lets you reply freely for a full day from the customer’s last message. After that it only accepts templates approved by Meta, the ones used by appointment reminders and WhatsApp campaigns.

Can I leave a task from a chat?

Yes, from the customer’s record with «Add task»: what to do, when it is due and who is responsible. It shows in «Follow-ups».

What if a customer asks us to stop writing?

Their opt-out is recorded for WhatsApp, someone on the team receives the chat and the agent does not write to them again, as the WhatsApp Business policy requires.

What happens to the chats of someone who leaves the team?

They stay in the inbox and in the records. That person loses access and a colleague takes over their conversations.
