Connecting **WhatsApp Business** to internal automation means every message triggers the same structured workflows as any other channel — card creation, stage changes, notifications — instead of living disconnected from the rest of the operation. In **Jestor**, this connection is native, through the official **Meta** API.

Most companies already run part of their process through WhatsApp Business informally. The integration question isn't whether to use it — it's whether the messages flowing through it can actually trigger the same automation as everything else.

## What stays disconnected without native integration

- WhatsApp messages requiring manual copy-paste into the system that tracks the process
- No automation triggered by a WhatsApp conversation reaching a certain stage
- A separate inbox tool needed just to manage the WhatsApp side
- No shared history between WhatsApp and the rest of a customer's record

## How native WhatsApp Business automation works

- Each new message creates a card automatically in the linked process
- The same **automation** triggers (stage change, field update) apply to WhatsApp-originated cards
- Templates and automated sends work through the official Meta API, billed separately by Meta
- Multiple numbers can connect to different processes, one per department

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- WhatsApp Business connects natively — no separate inbox tool or intermediary required
- Automations, AI Agents, and SLA tracking all apply to WhatsApp cards the same as any other
- Setup takes under five minutes once you have a number and a Meta Business account
- Conversation history stays attached to the record permanently

| Manual copy-paste into the system | Cards created and automated instantly     |
