)Customer Support — FAQ
Can the chatbot handle multiple languages?
Yes. You can create chatbot flows in multiple languages and our system automatically detects the user's preferred language based on their WhatsApp settings. You can also create separate flows per language for more nuanced responses.
Are there specific localized regulations for customer support chatbots?
No, user-initiated customer support chats are exempt from DLT template regulations, but standard data privacy rules apply.
Can I route customer chats to multiple support agents?
Yes. Our team inbox allows you to distribute conversations evenly or route them to specific departments (sales, technical support, billing) based on chatbot inputs.
Do you support customer support CRM integrations?
Yes. You can sync WhatsApp conversation logs and user profiles with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, and other popular CRMs via our webhook-driven API triggers.
