WhatsApp Automation

Every order update on WhatsApp, sent automatically

Stop typing the same order confirmation fifty times a day. Catafy sends order, dispatch, delivery and verification messages to your buyers on WhatsApp the moment the event happens.

WhatsApp is where Indian B2B buyers actually reply — but keeping every buyer updated by hand does not scale. Once you are doing dozens of orders a day, someone is always waiting on a message nobody had time to send.

Catafy connects to your WhatsApp Business account through Whaaty and fires the right message automatically when something happens: an order is placed, an order is dispatched, an order is delivered, a customer needs an OTP, or a buyer's catalogue access is approved. Messages go out under your own brand, so buyers see your business as the sender rather than a generic gateway.

You stay in control. Choose which automations are switched on, pick the approved template used for each event, and send a real test message to your own number before you turn anything live. Every message shows its cost up front, charged against a transparent credit balance.

Automations you can switch on

Order placed confirmation

The buyer gets an instant confirmation on WhatsApp the moment their order is placed — no manual reply needed.

Dispatch notification

Tell buyers their order has been dispatched automatically, cutting down 'has it shipped?' follow-up messages.

Delivery confirmation

Close the loop with a delivery message so buyers know the order arrived and you have a record of it.

Order update messages

Keep buyers informed when an order changes status, without anyone having to remember to message them.

OTP verification

Send login and verification codes to customers over WhatsApp as part of your store's sign-in flow.

Catalogue access approval

When you approve a buyer for a private catalogue, they are notified on WhatsApp straight away.

Your own business number

Connect your own WhatsApp Business account through Whaaty so every message carries your brand, not a generic sender ID.

Template control and test sends

Pick the approved template for each event and send a real test message to your own number before going live.

Transparent per-message cost

Each automation shows its estimated cost per message, charged from a credit balance with full transaction history.
