What happens to a WhatsApp message
The message arrives
Through Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform on your verified number, straight into the ReplyBay inbox.
The order is looked up
An order number or the customer's details are matched to Shopify or TikTok Shop data.
A short, cited draft
Written for chat, inside WhatsApp's 4,096 character limit, in the customer's language when the model supports it.
Sent or held
Above your confidence threshold and with auto-send on, it goes out. Otherwise it waits for you.
A person takes over
When the tone turns, or the message is about a payment or a change to an order, the thread escalates mid-conversation. Returns and refunds do too by default.

Questions
Can ReplyBay import my old WhatsApp chats?
No. The WhatsApp Cloud API does not give access to past messages, so ReplyBay starts with the first message after you connect. Your writing style can still come from approved replies on other channels.
Which WhatsApp account do I need?
A WhatsApp Business Platform setup in Meta with a verified phone number. The setup guide walks through each field and the webhook.
Can it message customers first?
No. ReplyBay replies to customers who wrote to you, within WhatsApp's 24-hour window. It sends no broadcasts.
What if a conversation gets heated?
Frustration, payment problems and order changes escalate to a person with the whole conversation attached, and returns and refunds do too by default.
Answer the evening wave without staying up.
Connect your WhatsApp Business number, read the drafts for a week, then decide what may send on its own.
