To **automate support with AI agents on WhatsApp**, you connect the number through the official **Meta** API, link it to a process, and let a native agent answer incoming messages while you watch what it says in real time.

## Why WhatsApp support consumes a whole team

WhatsApp is where customers already are, which is exactly why it becomes unmanageable.

- The same questions answered dozens of times a day
- Conversations trapped on one person's phone
- No history once a chat scrolls away
- Nobody able to say who replied to what, or when
- No **SLA** tracking on a channel customers treat as urgent

## What a WhatsApp AI agent handles

- **Answers incoming messages** automatically, trained on your process
- **Works per area** — agents can be trained separately for support, sales, or operations
- **Runs with human-in-the-loop**, so a person can step in mid-conversation
- **Reports in real time** what it has already told the customer
- **Creates a record** for each conversation, so nothing is lost when the chat ends

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Connect your **WhatsApp Business** number to **Jestor** through the official Meta API.
2. Link the number to the table that holds the process — support, sales, or another.
3. Create the agent and train it on that process.
4. Monitor what the agent has answered directly in the conversation view.
5. Take over the conversation whenever a case needs a person.

## Why choose Jestor for WhatsApp support?

**Jestor** builds the WhatsApp integration into the platform itself rather than as an external plugin, which is why the agent, the record, and the team chat all sit in one screen. Each conversation becomes a card, so support is managed like a **CRM** rather than a scrolling inbox.

The product framing is direct: kill the manual work inside companies. On WhatsApp, that means the repetitive replies stop being a person's job.

## Frequently Asked Questions
