A **WhatsApp operations dashboard** reports on the channel the same way you report on any other process: volume, response time, phase distribution, and outcome. It only becomes possible once each conversation is a structured record.

## What you cannot measure inside the app

WhatsApp Business gives you conversations. It does not give you a picture of the operation.

- How many conversations arrived this week
- How long the team took to respond, on average
- Which phase most conversations get stuck in
- How much of the volume the **AI** agent handled alone

## Indicators worth putting on the panel

| Indicator                     | What it answers                                 |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Conversation volume**       | How much the channel is carrying                |
| **Messages per conversation** | Whether cases are resolving quickly or dragging |
| **Time per phase**            | Where conversations stall                       |
| **Waiting on us**             | How many conversations need a reply right now   |
| **Phase distribution**        | The shape of the queue, at a glance             |

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Link the **WhatsApp** number in **Jestor** so each conversation becomes a record.
2. Build indicators on that table for volume, message count, and phase.
3. Add a chart for phase distribution across the period.
4. Apply conditional colour so an indicator changes as it crosses a target.
5. Filter the whole panel by date, responsible person, or process.

## Why choose Jestor for WhatsApp reporting?

**Jestor** builds the dashboard on the same records the team works in, so there is no export and no lag between a conversation closing and the number moving. Data, charts, and indicators are all customizable.

Because the WhatsApp integration is native rather than a plugin, the conversation data is available to dashboards exactly like any other operational data.
