FAQs

Common questions, answered directly.

What do I need to use WhatsApp customer service with an AI agent?

You need a melibo account for the AI agent and a ChatWerk account for the WhatsApp Business infrastructure. melibo handles automation and conversation flow; ChatWerk provides the WhatsApp Business API, the inbox and live communication. Both systems are directly connected – automated replies and personal support work hand in hand.

Who provides the WhatsApp Business number for customer communication?

The WhatsApp Business number is provided and set up via ChatWerk. ChatWerk helps you connect the number as your official business channel. All customer conversations then run through it – either fully automated by the AI agent or, when needed, by your support team.

How many languages does the AI agent support on WhatsApp?

The AI agent supports 28 languages. That means customer requests on WhatsApp can be answered automatically in 28 languages – without building a separate support team for each language. That's especially relevant for e-commerce companies with international customers or multilingual audiences in the DACH region.

How does handover from the AI agent to a human agent work?

Handover from the AI agent to a live agent happens via a defined handover node directly into the ChatWerk inbox. The full chat history is visible to your team – the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves. The AI agent hands over actively as soon as it recognizes that a request needs personal support or the customer explicitly asks for it.

Is WhatsApp communication via melibo and ChatWerk GDPR-compliant?

Yes, the combination of melibo and ChatWerk is GDPR-compliant. Customer conversations are processed in line with data protection rules, and personal data is secured according to GDPR requirements. Companies in the DACH region can use WhatsApp as a regular service channel without compromising on data protection.

Can I also send WhatsApp newsletters to customers via ChatWerk?

Yes, you can send marketing newsletters directly from ChatWerk – provided the customer has opted in beforehand. You can request the opt-in right at the start of a conversation, for example for privacy terms and newsletter subscription. Contacts can then be segmented with tags and targeted specifically. That makes WhatsApp not just a support channel, but a marketing channel too.

How long does it take to set up the AI agent on WhatsApp?

The ChatWerk setup is usually done within a day. The AI agent is fully built, trained and launched within 30 days. The exact duration depends on which use cases you want to automate and whether integrations with existing systems like Shopware, Zendesk or a CRM are needed.

Which use cases is WhatsApp with an AI agent especially suited for?

WhatsApp with an AI agent is especially suited for recurring, clearly defined customer requests: order status lookups, booking and rescheduling appointments, answering FAQs, logging complaints and qualifying leads. Product advice, delivery status requests and handover to live agents work cleanly too. For e-commerce companies with high contact volume via mobile channels, WhatsApp is often the most effective first automation step.
