WhatsApp Business support from Colombo

For many customers WhatsApp is the easiest way to reach a business: no hold music, no forms, just a message from the phone already in their hand. That convenience creates work. Messages arrive at all hours, many as voice notes and photos, and customers expect a reply in the same chat. Our WhatsApp support team answers in English, Tamil and Sinhala, around the clock, so every customer gets a real answer from a real person.

How we work

We handle the whole range of WhatsApp conversations: price and stock questions, orders taken and confirmed in the chat, delivery updates, appointment bookings and reminders, payment link follow-ups and after-sales support. Agents work on the WhatsApp Business Platform through a shared team inbox, so several people can answer one number, every chat is logged, and conversations pass between agents and shifts without losing the thread.

Good to know

WhatsApp has rules that matter. Businesses can reply freely within 24 hours of a customer's last message; after that, only pre-approved message templates can be sent, and only to people who have opted in. We write and submit templates for order updates, reminders and offers, keep opt-in records clean and act on opt-outs straight away. That protects your number's quality rating and keeps your account in good standing with Meta.

Open 24/7

Do we need the WhatsApp Business API for outsourced WhatsApp support?

For a team answering one number, the WhatsApp Business Platform, often called the API, is usually the right choice, because several agents can work the same number through a shared inbox and every chat is logged. Very small volumes can start on the WhatsApp Business app. We look at your message volume, the number of people who need access and your systems, then recommend the simplest set-up that works.

Can WhatsApp support agents message customers after 24 hours?

Within 24 hours of a customer's last message, agents can reply freely. Once that window closes, WhatsApp only allows pre-approved templates, such as an order update or appointment reminder, sent to customers who have opted in. We draft these templates with you, submit them for approval and use them for follow-ups, so a conversation can restart without breaking WhatsApp's rules.

Can your WhatsApp support team take orders and payments?

Yes. Agents take the order in the chat, confirm items, quantities, address and delivery slot, then send a secure payment link from your payment provider or checkout. Card numbers should never be typed into a chat, so payment always goes through the link. Each order is logged in your system as it is confirmed, and unpaid orders get a polite reminder before they lapse.

Can WhatsApp support handle voice notes and photos?

Yes. Many customers would rather send a voice note than type, or send a photo of a product, receipt or damaged item. Our agents speak English and Tamil, with Sinhala speakers on the team, so they listen to the note and reply in the customer's language, usually in text so the details are in writing. Photos are checked and logged with the order or case.
