How do I use WhatsApp for sales as a team?
Connect your business number to the official WhatsApp Business API through a platform such as Haiya, so every rep answers from their own login instead of a shared phone. Give each customer one owner, turn each serious enquiry into a lead in a pipeline with a follow-up date, and use approved templates to follow up people who agreed to hear from you.
Can leads from Facebook and Instagram ads go straight into WhatsApp?
Yes, in two ways. Connect your Facebook Page and people who fill in your Meta lead ad form arrive in Haiya as leads, ready to message. A click-to-WhatsApp ad opens a chat with your number instead; Haiya marks that chat as coming from the ad and reports to Meta when the customer becomes a lead. You create and run your ads in Meta Ads Manager.
How do I stop two salespeople chasing the same customer?
Give every customer one owner. In Haiya, when an owner or admin answers a customer nobody owns yet, that reply makes them the owner, and owners and admins can assign a customer or offer it to a rep to accept or decline. A lead always has the same owner as the customer's chat, so two reps never work the same buyer.
Can Haiya follow up leads automatically?
Partly, and a person stays in charge. Pipeline rules can assign an owner, add a tag, send an approved template or create a follow-up task when a lead arrives or enters a stage. Ready-made automations, built and changed on the web, take a call-back or quotation request and confirm the time your team agrees.
Can I send a sales message to all my leads at once?
Yes, to the contacts who agreed to hear from you. A broadcast sends one approved template to all your contacts or a tagged group, such as the contacts tagged Leads, now or at a time you schedule, and leaves out anyone who opted out or blocked you. Every recipient gets the same message. Meta charges for each delivered message by category and bills your business directly.
Does Haiya connect to my other sales tools?
Through its API and webhooks. Haiya sends business events such as a new lead or a stage change to a URL you choose, which Zapier, Make and n8n can catch, and they can start a Haiya automation in return. A capture form on your website sends enquiries straight into a pipeline. A connection built for one particular system is a custom module, built by the Haiya team.
How much does WhatsApp for sales cost with Haiya?
Haiya costs $8 a month on Hobby, $39 on Professional and $89 on Business, after a 3-day free trial that you start in the iPhone or Android app. Meta's message fees are separate: Meta charges per delivered message, by category, and bills you directly, with no Haiya markup; each number has a monthly free tier of 1,000 service messages.
