SaaS Customer Engagement on WhatsApp
Email open rates hover around 20%. WhatsApp messages see 98% open rates. For SaaS companies fighting for user attention, WhatsApp provides a direct line to customers that actually gets read.
AI chatbots on WhatsApp create touchpoints throughout the customer lifecycle—guiding new users through setup, announcing features to existing users, and re-engaging users showing churn signals.
SaaS-Specific Use Cases
Onboarding Automation
Guide new users through setup with step-by-step WhatsApp messages. Celebrate milestones, answer questions, and reduce time-to-value with personalized onboarding sequences.
Feature Announcements
New feature launches deserve better than buried blog posts. Send targeted announcements to users who would benefit most, with quick tutorials and activation prompts.
Churn Prevention
Identify users showing churn signals (declining usage, missed logins) and trigger proactive outreach. Offer help, highlight unused features, or connect them with customer success.
Billing & Account
Handle subscription questions, payment issues, and plan upgrades through conversational AI. Reduce support tickets for routine billing inquiries.
