Create templates messages for WhatsApp CRM

Once you have successfully connected your WhatsApp number in the CRM, you’ll be able to receive and respond to new messages directly in the CRM. Create WhatsApp chat templates to cut down on mundane tasks such as typing the same chat messages every day.

Creating a new WhatsApp template in Kommo is a breeze. Here’s how you can do it: 👇

1. Go to the Settings > Communication tools page in your account.
2. Click Add new template to create a template.

The template creator lets you attach files and automatically grab lead card fields in the message such as: lead name, company name and any custom field you have created. This will help you create templates which address your customer directly. It will feel like the message was specifically created just for them.

1. Don’t forget to click on Save.
2. The template will be saved in the list and can be edited again if needed.

That’s all, simple as that. You may create as many templates as you need.

Once you have created your first templates, you can put them in action and automate customer communication.

The template can be used when you chat with a potential customer in their lead card in Kommo.

Templates are great for messages which are frequent and have the same content no matter the customer. These include:

• Greeting message
• FAQ
• Promotion
• Confirmation
• Invitation
• Send out booklets and catalogs
• Customer service inquiries

Let's take a look at a practical example from a veterinary clinic. 🐱🐶

Most of the customer appointments are done through WhatsApp so appointment confirmation messages are sent out through a template. We already created a template, so now we’ll put it to use.

To send out the message:

• Open lead card.
• In the chat box, write the name of the template (the first few letters are enough).
• Select the template.
• Click on send

I personally have often used templates for scheduling meetings. I’ve got one with my Calendly link in it which invites the person to make an appointment following the link. It has saved me lots of typing time.

Salesbot can help you completely automate communication with customers. From the first point of contact to a paid invoice. He can even let you know if your human presence is required in a specific conversation.

So it is more than simply using template messages. It’s more like automated templates on steroids. 💪

The Salesbot is complex and lets you create detailed communication flows, but we can still use it as an automatic template.

To do so:

1. Go to Pipeline settings and select at which stage the automatic message will be sent via WhatsApp.
2. Add Salesbot with 1 message in the communication flow.

1. Click on save

You’ve just created a greeting template which is automatically sent out whenever a lead moves to the pipeline stage. This way you can have an up to date communication with your customers as they move through the pipeline or do various actions.

Let’s take a look at the Salesbot in action. 🤖 We created the message in the Initial contact stage of our pipeline.

In the meantime one of our potential clients reached out to us with a simple hi 👋. Once we move the lead to the Initial contact stage, Salesbot will do his thing and automatically send out the message.

It is a great follow up tool as well. Salesbot can send multiple messages after specific periods of time, that way he can reach out to your customers after one day, a week or whatever suits your sales and marketing processes the best. 🧐

WhatsApp is an amazing tool for communicating with customers and it becomes even more so once you combine it with CRM automations.

You can create templates for the most frequent types of messages, save your team time and increase the efficiency of messaging with customers. All of it is conveniently done in the lead card where you have a full overview of all communication with the potential customer.
