WhatsApp chatbot and automation for Tirupattur businesses

Mathankumar K, Playbot Pro, Salem 3 min read

Ambur and Vaniyambadi make shoes for brands that order by the thousand pairs and ask for a sample photo first. The restaurants on the same highway sell Ambur biryani by the hundred plates for events. Both businesses run their enquiries on WhatsApp, and both lose track of them when the phone changes hands. Playbot keeps the thread with the account and answers the repeated questions.

Samples, sizes and the buyer thread

A buyer's merchandiser asks for a sample, a size run and a price. The catalog holds the articles; the quote and the proforma invoice go out on the thread; production updates go out as templates; the inbox keeps every buyer's thread with the account so a change of staff does not lose the relationship. Component suppliers (soles, lasts, adhesives) sell to the units the same way.

Biryani orders for a hundred

Event orders arrive with a date, a headcount and a delivery address. A flow captures all three, a UPI link takes the advance, and the kitchen gets a reminder the day before. Daily customers who opted in get the weekend special as a broadcast.

Schools and clinics in the three towns

Schools send fee reminders and circulars as templates to parents who opted in; clinics take bookings with reminders. Both are a day's setup.

Service areas in Tirupattur district

Every taluk is served the same way, on the same plans. Businesses in Thirupathur, Natrampalli, Vaniyambadi, Ambur and the rest of the district are onboarded over WhatsApp and video like everyone else. The full list is below.

Getting started from Tirupattur

  1. Connect the WhatsApp Business number; keep the old one if it is not on another API provider.
  2. Start with the one conversation you repeat most, and put a bot on only that.
  3. Hand everything else to the inbox so a person still answers, with the history beside them.
  4. Share the link where Tirupattur customers already look: the Google listing, the bill, the shop front.

Questions we get asked

Can the bot handle Urdu-speaking customers?

The AI agent replies in the language the customer writes in, including Urdu written in either script. Templates are approved per language.

Can production updates go to a buyer automatically?

Yes. A status change in your system can trigger a template through a webhook, or an agent can send it from the inbox with one tap.

Is this the official WhatsApp API or a phone-app automation?

The official WhatsApp Business API, through Playbot as a Meta Business Partner. No phone left charging on a desk, and no risk of the number being banned for bulk sending.

Can the bot answer in Tamil?

Yes. Flows and templates can be written in Tamil, and the AI agent replies in the language the customer writes in.
