Organize my WhatsApp

**Follow-ups**

# WhatsApp follow-ups that sound like you, at a human hour.

Most WhatsApp sales aren’t lost at the first reply. They’re lost after it: the message that waits overnight, the time a customer asked for, the quote nobody chased. A Calypso Agent keeps each conversation on its board moving, on the customer’s own topic, and stops when they reply.

### **A message that waited**

1. **11:46 PM** · Customer

   Good evening! Do you deliver on Saturdays? 2. **11:48 PM** · Board

   Moved to Sales · the answer waits for 9:00 AM 3. **9:00 AM** · Calypso Agent

   C** Calypso Agent** Good morning, thanks for waiting. Yes, we deliver on Saturdays from 10 to 2. Shall I book one for you?

**Answers what waited, at a human hour.**### **A time they asked for**1. **5:10 PM** · Customer

   C** Calypso Agent** Of course, I’ll send it at 7:15 PM. 3. **5:10 PM** · Board

   C** Calypso Agent** Here’s the quote for the 12-pack, as promised: $84 with Saturday delivery. Shall I reserve it?

**Keeps the time they asked for.**### **A conversation that went quiet**1. **10:02 AM** · Customer

   C** Calypso Agent** About your 3,000 weekly orders: with same-day pickup they leave the day they come in. Want the rates for that volume? 4. **Next day** · Customer

   They replied, so the follow-ups end

**Follows up on what they asked, and ends when they reply.**

Example conversations. You choose the agent’s knowledge, its goal, and when it runs.

**Three ways**

## Every conversation gets its next step.

### **Answers what waited**

A customer wrote while the agent was off or the chat was still in New. When the conversation reaches a board with its agent on, the agent answers the message that waited. After hours, that answer goes out at 9:00. ### **Keeps the time they asked for**

“Write me tomorrow at 9” or “send it at 7:15” becomes a scheduled message at that time, about what they asked. When the time is unclear, the agent asks instead of guessing, and “never mind” cancels it.

### **Follows up when it goes quiet**

On a board with a goal, when a customer stops replying the agent follows up about the specific thing they asked, with a new angle each time and never the same sentence twice. Their reply ends the follow-ups.

**The rhythm**

## Spaced like a person would.

The sequence after an answer that went unanswered. A step that would land between 21:00 and 09:00 moves to the next morning, and the last three only go out when the agent has something useful to add.

1. 1 ### **About 1½ hours later**

   Their question, by name, and the next step it leads to. 2. 2 ### **About 7 hours later, or the next morning**

   Their use case, and anything still open. 3. 3 ### **The next day, around 10:00**

   One useful thing for their case. 4. 4 ### **The day after, around 11:00**

   Whether the timing is off, or something is missing. 5. 5 ### **Two days later, around 10:30**

   An easy way back, without pressure. Then it stops.

**Examples**

## Follow-up messages that don’t sound like a robot.

Six common moments on WhatsApp, the generic message most tools send, and what a Calypso Agent writes instead, from the conversation itself.

### **They asked for a price**

**Instead of**

~~Hi! Just checking in 😊~~

**Calypso writes**

~~Hello! How can I help you?~~

Good morning, thanks for waiting. Yes, we deliver on Saturdays. Shall I book one for you?

**Your rules**

## Limits you set, on every board.

- **Human hours**No follow-up or delayed answer between 21:00 and 09:00 in your time zone. A customer who writes to a board with its agent on gets an answer right away, unless you turn on business hours for that board. - **A monthly limit**At most three follow-up sequences per customer every 30 days. - **Their reply ends it**When the customer writes back, the follow-ups end and the agent answers what they said. - **Take over anytime**A person who takes the conversation stops the agent’s follow-ups on it. - **One switch per board**Pause the board’s agent and nothing goes out from it until you switch it back on. - **Hidden stays hidden**Chats on the Hidden board never get a follow-up.

**Your WhatsApp**

## On the WhatsApp you already have.

The follow-up goes out on the line the customer used, including customers who write from a WhatsApp username.

Works with both - WhatsApp**Business App**- WhatsApp**Business API**

[~~Also ready for WhatsApp usernames: a customer who messages you from @their.name, phone number hidden, lands on your board like anyone else.~~](https://www.calypso.so/whatsapp#usernames)
