**Automating WhatsApp with AI agents** combines two elements: native integration via the **WhatsApp Business API (Meta)** and an **AI Agent** trained to respond within the right process. In **Jestor**, **Agent Builder** lets you configure that agent by area, with no code required.

## Why automate a company's WhatsApp instead of just using the regular app?

Regular **WhatsApp** doesn't keep an organized history by process, doesn't generate a response-time indicator, and depends on whoever is holding the phone. That becomes a bottleneck as soon as the company grows.

## What companies are trying to solve?

- No response-time indicator on **WhatsApp**
- Marketing or reminder messages sent manually one by one
- No link between the conversation and the corresponding business process
- Difficulty scaling support without hiring more people

## How to automate sending and responding on WhatsApp?

Meta-approved templates let you reopen a conversation outside the 24-hour window, while the **AI** agent handles the response.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I need to code to automate sending?

No, WhatsApp automations can be configured by button or trigger, with no code.

### What is WhatsApp's 24-hour window?

It's the period during which a company can freely reply after the customer's last message; outside it, an approved template is required.

### Does sending a template cost anything?

Automatic sends via template are billed separately by Meta; receiving and responding manually has no extra cost. Learn more at jestor.com.
