Frequently asked questions
Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?
Yes. You connect with your Facebook account, which gives access to your WhatsApp Business account and its number. The personal WhatsApp app can't be linked.
Why aren't my messages being sent?
Meta must first approve the display name of your WhatsApp Business number. Until it's approved, sending is blocked and Agentova tells you so instead of failing silently.
Does the agent understand voice messages?
Yes, incoming voice notes are transcribed before the reply and photos are analyzed. The agent replies in writing.
Can I take over a conversation manually?
Yes. From the conversation in Agentova, you write to the customer yourself. The agent can also hand a conversation off to your team on its own and notify your admins.
Can I connect ChatGPT to WhatsApp with Agentova?
Agentova doesn't plug ChatGPT into your number. Its sales agent, Arthur, is the one answering on WhatsApp Business, based on the information about your company you've given it, and handing off to your team when needed.
How do I disconnect WhatsApp?
From the AI Brain, in the Integrations section. The agent then stops replying on that number.
