(01) WhatsApp automation
Every lead gets a WhatsApp reply.In minutes, not the next morning.
I build WhatsApp automations on the official Cloud API: a reply to every missed call, web form and ad lead, a few questions to qualify it, a booking link, and a short summary to you. Built with n8n or in code, with message templates approved by Meta and a person stepping in whenever the chat needs one.

- A person steps in
- Quoted to your needs
(02) When to call
Signs your leadsare waiting too long.
Missed calls stay missed
A call comes in while you're busy, and by the time you call back they've booked someone else.
Forms land in an inbox
Web and ad leads sit unread overnight, though most of your customers would rather chat on WhatsApp.
The same questions, all day
Prices, times, where you are. Your team types the same answers dozens of times a day.
Follow-ups depend on memory
Quotes go out and nobody checks back, so warm leads go cold.
(03) Where to start
WhatsApp flowsbusinesses ask for most.
Missed-call reply
A missed call triggers a WhatsApp message within a minute, a couple of questions and a link to book, with the answers sent to you.
The caller hears back while they still care.
Lead follow-up
Every web and ad lead gets a first message, then a reminder if they go quiet, stopping as soon as they reply or a person takes over.
No lead is left without an answer.
Answers from your FAQ
Common questions answered from your own prices and FAQ. Anything unusual, any complaint and any refund goes to a person.
Your team answers only what needs them.
Bookings and reminders
Confirmations and reminders the day before, with a reply to reschedule, synced with your calendar or booking tool.
Fewer no-shows.
(04) What I build
What every WhatsApp flow gets.So it stays within Meta's rules.
Official Cloud API
Your own WhatsApp Business number on Meta's Cloud API, in your Meta account, not a grey-market tool that gets numbers banned.
Approved templates
Messages outside the 24-hour window use templates I write and submit to Meta for approval.
Opt-in and opt-out
People who wrote first or opted in, and an easy way to stop, so your number keeps its quality rating.
A person steps in
One message hands the chat to your team, and the automation stays quiet until they hand it back.
Your CRM or sheet
Every chat and answer saved where your team already works.
Costs you can see
Meta charges per conversation; the plan estimates your monthly cost before anything is built.
If a pre-filled chat link is enough, and for many small businesses it is, I'll say so. That's how the yoga and cab sites I built work.
(05) How it works
Plan, build, run.Each one priced before it starts.
S/01Plan
Which flows first, the messages and templates, where a person steps in and what Meta will charge. If I build it, the plan fee comes off the build.
$500 – $1,500
Quoted after a free call, a written plan in 3 to 5 days.
S/02Build
The number set up on the Cloud API, templates approved, flows built and tested with real phones.
$1,500 – $6,000
Quoted from the plan, agreed in writing before I start.
S/03Run
Flows watched, templates updated and fixes when Meta changes its rules.
From $800 / month
Automations watched and tuned, plus fixes and updates. Cancel any month.
(06) What you keep
Your code, your accounts.Nothing held back.
Your repository
The code lives in a GitHub repository that's yours, with its full history: your own from the first commit, or one I set up and transfer to you. You can watch every change land.
Your accounts
Hosting, database, payments and app store accounts belong to you. If you have them, you invite me; if not, I set them up for the project and transfer each one to you at handover.
One engineer
The person on the first call is the person who writes the code. Nothing is handed to a junior or passed to another company.
A clean handover
Notes on how it works and how to deploy it, so you or any developer can carry on without me. Monthly plans cancel any month.
The code and designs are legally yours once each invoice is paid. Read the terms
(07) Proof

(09) Questions
What founders askbefore we start.
Can I keep my current WhatsApp number?
Often, yes. Meta lets some numbers use the WhatsApp Business app and the Cloud API together; otherwise a second number for automation is simplest. The plan says which works for you.
Will my number get banned?
Not for using the official API within Meta's rules: messages to people who wrote first or opted in, approved templates, and an easy way to stop. Bans come from unofficial tools and bulk messages to cold lists, which I don't build.
How much does it cost?
The plan is $500 – $1,500, fixed. Building is quoted from the plan, usually $1,500 – $6,000. Meta's per-conversation charges are separate and estimated in the plan. If you go ahead within 30 days, the plan fee comes off the build.
Will an AI reply to my customers?
Only where you want it to, and only from your own prices and FAQ. Complaints, refunds and anything it isn't sure about go to a person.
Something I haven't answered? Put it in your brief, or email me. I reply within a day. HS is one person, so the person you talk to is the one doing the work.
