6 questions

WhatsApp & your assistant

Helpful replies, with your team in control.

Can I keep my existing WhatsApp number?

We check your number’s connection options with you before activation. Eligible WhatsApp Business app numbers can connect while you continue using the app. A dedicated number is another option.

The number stays yours. Don’t delete your app or move your number on your own; follow the connection checklist so we can help you choose the right route.

Do my customers need to download anything?

No extra booking app. Customers use WhatsApp to message your shop, book a visit, ask a question or request a booking change. You and your team use the web dashboard on a phone, tablet or computer.

What does the assistant do when my shop is closed?

Once activated, your assistant can respond to booking requests and everyday questions around the clock, using your menu, availability and shop information.

It only offers appointments allowed by your booking settings. A reply outside opening hours does not mean your staff are online or your shop is open.

What happens when a customer needs a person?

Requests that need your team’s judgement are handed over for follow-up. Check To do, open the conversation and handle the request there. Your team can review the context before replying.

Add clear shop answers to help with routine questions. The assistant is not a source of medical or veterinary advice.

How do I change what the assistant tells customers?

As the shop owner, open Settings to update your shop information, answers and booking policies. Use your shop notice for a short update, such as a holiday announcement.

Keep services and prices in your menu, and use shop answers for things like location, preparation and policies. Check the preview after making changes.

Are appointment reminders and revisit messages different?

Yes. Appointment reminders are about a booking the customer already has. Revisit messages invite a customer to come back after a chosen interval.

Owners can set a shop-wide revisit interval in the booking settings. Pawline also supports service-specific revisit intervals. Marketing and revisit messages require the customer’s separate consent; permission to receive booking reminders is not permission for promotions.
