• With WhatsApp Business you have the possibility of creating automated responses to improve the communication flow when there is no worker available to respond. In addition, there is also the possibility of generating welcome messages and quick responses.
• Whatsapp Business is able to identify if the person speaking to you is a conventional user or if, on the other hand, it is a business account.
