05 WhatsApp Quick Reply Templates
Challenge: In many customer communication scenarios, the responses to customers’ inquiries are often repetitive. Editing standard responses one by one for similar customer queries can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially in customer service situations.
Solution: SocialEpoch has introduced the Quick Reply Templates feature, allowing for client-side and backend importation, grouping, and addition of image files. With this feature, repetitive editing of the same issues is avoided, and responses to customer messages can be sent with just one click, efficiently addressing customer inquiries.
06 WhatsApp Auto Reply
Challenge: In addition to quick replies, there is a strong demand for automated replies based on customer needs. For instance, promptly responding to customer inquiries during non-business hours or providing brief introductions based on keywords can enhance customer satisfaction, retain customers, avoid resource wastage, and save communication personnel’s energy.
Solution: SocialEpoch’s system features intelligent auto-reply functionality, allowing users to set keywords and corresponding responses in the backend. When triggered by keywords during customer communication, the system automatically replies. Users can also easily toggle the auto-reply feature on and off as needed, providing flexible operational management.
07 WhatsApp Channel Distribution
Challenge: Besides managing multiple accounts, channel distribution is another method to mitigate the risk of account suspension. In many scenarios, using a single account to handle customer inquiries may result in overwhelmed response times and low communication efficiency, posing a high risk of account suspension.
Solution: SocialEpoch’s Live Link feature, one of the tools for WhatsApp anti-block, offers a free basic version. With Live Link, you can guide customers to communicate with multiple WhatsApp accounts through a single link without affecting their communication experience. This helps businesses reduce the risk of account suspension. Even if some accounts are suspended, it won’t lead to a failed lead capture. Moreover, it reduces the pressure on each account’s response team, effectively achieving channel distribution.
With Live Link, businesses can efficiently manage customer communication and mitigate the risk of account suspension.
08 WhatsApp Dynamic Group Allocation
Challenge: Similarly, in many cases, redirecting customers to specific groups requires efficient customer allocation.
Solution: SocialEpoch’s Live Link feature is equally effective for group redirection. Using a QR code or link, you can direct customers to different groups, avoiding issues such as failed lead capture due to group restrictions.
09 Chat History Backup
Challenge: Saving communication exchanges with customers is crucial during client interactions. Losing chat history can significantly impact the progress of transactions. In cases of account suspension or employee departure, valuable communication records with customers may be lost, causing complications for future conversions.
Solution: The chat backup feature ensures the retention of WhatsApp communication data in the backend. In the event of accidental deletion, messages can be promptly recovered from the backend. Whether facing account suspension or needing to follow up with clients after an employee’s departure, access to previous communication exchanges facilitates seamless collaboration for business personnel.
With chat backup functionality, businesses can safeguard critical communication records and ensure continuity in client interactions.
10 Data Masking
Challenge: Customer data is a vital asset for business personnel and enterprises. Once leaked, it not only compromises the customer experience but also jeopardizes potential business opportunities. Moreover, the loss of such critical data assets can significantly impact business operations and conversions.
Solution: The Data Masking feature involves hiding certain customer information on the frontend interface. This approach not only facilitates seamless customer communication for business personnel but also mitigates the risk of data loss. For enterprises, it serves as a preventive measure against unauthorized transactions and ensures compliance with privacy regulations.
