WhatsApp Integration FAQs
- Does this work with WhatsApp Business API or the WhatsApp Business app?
- Prefero connects through the official WhatsApp Business API, which provides enterprise-grade messaging capabilities including automated responses, template messages, and rich media. This is more powerful and reliable than the basic WhatsApp Business app.
- Can clients book appointments directly through WhatsApp?
- Yes. Prefero handles the entire booking flow within WhatsApp, answering service questions, checking availability, suggesting times, confirming the booking, and sending appointment details. Clients never leave WhatsApp.
- Does Prefero send appointment reminders via WhatsApp?
- Yes. Prefero sends booking confirmations, day-before reminders, and follow-up messages through WhatsApp. Open rates for WhatsApp messages exceed 90%, making it far more effective than email for salon reminders.
- Can I still use WhatsApp personally?
- Yes. Prefero uses the WhatsApp Business API on a separate business number. Your personal WhatsApp account is completely unaffected.
