Auto-reply

Automated response messages are a great feature for businesses to inform their customers when their services are not available. You can set up automated replies for your WhatsApp messages. These automatic responses can be customized to confirm receipt of a message, provide relevant information, or prompt customers to take a specific action. These messages will be sent automatically when a customer sends you a message on WhatsApp.

For example: "Hi [name], thanks for contacting [your company]. How can we help you today?"

Opt-outs

Add the opt-out keywords that customers can send to this number to stop receiving any messages from this WhatsApp profile. When a customer sends or responds to a message with an opt-out keyword, e.g., 'STOP', the contact will be automatically added to the opt-out list. The customers in this list will no longer be able to receive any messages from your business.
