In this article you can learn how to create a campaign with Mailchimp using your WhatsApp contacts. But first you should know which is the right tool to use.
WhatsApp is a great social network, but when it comes to business, the open version available to all users isn’t enough. To be able to advance your strategy, your business will need a WhatsApp Business account.
With WhatsApp Business, connecting to a large number of users will be much simpler and more accessible, but… is it enough?
Unfortunately, no.
This is because, although you can record all your contacts using WhatsApp, unless you are integrated with a CRM, you’ll have to do it all by hand. Can you imagine your sales and customer service team maintaining one joint Excel sheet? It sounds a little bit slow and disorganized.
By including a CRM for WhatsApp, you can automate many of your processes, not just contact collection. Automate database generation and updating, as well as your conversations, data collection, and reporting.
With Zenvia Conversion’s CRM for WhatsApp, you can also automate the repetitive parts of a conversation by including a chatbot for no additional costs, as well as WhatsApp-approved message templates.
