How does WhatsApp Business work for CRM Updates automation?
WhatsApp Business works for CRM Updates automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to WhatsApp Business alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for CRM Updates, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
After each call recorded by @Granola
AI captures emails, calls, and meetings and logs them to the right CRM records automatically.
- 03
Business to log notes
Teams typically see always current after every interaction once the agent is in production.
- 04
Advance the deal stage
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
