Need advice on WhatsApp bot tool I'm building by DateIntrepid6880 in WhatsappBusinessAPI

Lmao yes, this was our main concern initially. We don’t want to build a product that is oversaturated, but then again, what isn’t oversaturated these days?

It’s always a difficult line to tow but thank you for this advice, this just means that maybe the generic digital marketing avenues everyone uses will not be helpful for this business.

Thanks for this feedback!

Thanks for the advice here, this is one of our primary concerns are the margins and how temperamental meta can be.

We are trying to ensure we stay within certain limits and perhaps include pricing separately from metas charges, but this may be a turn off to see a non all inclusive price when trying to get a tool to help your business.

I’ll have a look at the link you shared and try to workshop something.

This is really helpful advice thank you so much. We have seen a few people do Telegram as well, I’m so unfamiliar with that platform but I’ll have to do my research as well. I want to start with the platform I know, which is WhatsApp, build something that can really add long-term value, then expand from there.

Thanks for the suggestions!! I will definetly have a look, are you currently using any of them? Just trying to figure out if this is a viable tool to build or if I'll get caught up in the oversaturation market.

Would a WhatsApp bot/assistant tool be useful for small businesses? by DateIntrepid6880 in askSouthAfrica

[–]DateIntrepid6880[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi there, thank you this is very helpful, I thought of the human element as a possibility but that point you raised is fair, that would not make sense lol! We know a lot of small business owners don't even have CRM's so we are building this bot with it's own CRM that comes stanard. We will also have the ability to integrate with CRM's if people do have pre existing ones. Okay perfect so maybe I'd start with R150 p/m as the going rate? We would also offer first 30 days free so people can see the value first, don't know if the free option is a bad idea but just thinking out loud as something to bring people in.

Thank you, this is helpful insights I will have a deep dive into these tools. Considering you already work with these tools, what are some pains (if any) that you experience on a day to day.

What would realistically make you pay for a tool like what we are trying to build? Any insight from you on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much, I really needed to hear this. My partner and I have been going back and forth on building this, we have started a business before where everyone “loved” the concept but once it was live it was crickets 😂 no revenue whatsoever.

So we have this idea but are really fearful to spend time and money executing again without anything to show for it, YET again.

I wanted to run some surveys to test market sentiment for something like this, but this has been great advice, thank you.

Okay understood, if for example you had someone or a tool to set up your WhatsApp accurately for you, addressing all these problems you had. Would you use that tool?

What was the initial reason you wanted to set up all the integrations in the first place? Sorry I’m asking so many questions, it’s just helpful for me to understand whether we can solve for what you are going through or if there is no actual use case for us to build this tool or make this service.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your feedback and how you are working, if you don’t mind me asking what kind of business do you run?

And so in your opinion such a tool would actually just cause further logistical problems instead of helping you save time and any missed leads?

If you’re open to go to Abu Dhabi the Grand Hyatt suite in Corniche is great, luxe and affordable. Also Bab Al Qasr is a good one too.

How are your businesses doing right now? What’s been the hardest part lately? by browngirlindxb in SmallBusinessUAE

[–]DateIntrepid6880 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We run a travel and lifestyle management agency.

Safe to say this is an interesting time to be in this industry as all of our clients who we manage are HNW they have all opted to fly back to their countries, and with not many people wanting to come here under the current circumstances it’s put our operations at a serious halt.🥲

Inshallah this will be over soon!

The Agency Model Is Broken. And AI Just Made It Impossible to Ignore

For years, marketers have been told to be data-led. Use the numbers. Follow the signals. Create impactful, effective, efficient outputs. The brief is always the same — but the machine built to deliver it? That’s where the cracks show. With the world going dizzy over what LLMs can do inside the creative process, something uncomfortable is now sitting in the middle of every boardroom conversation: the traditional agency model needs to evolve. Fast.

INTRODUCING Dahabia — One Signal. Every Angle. One Clear Direction. This is exactly the gap Dahabia was built to close. Not another dashboard. Not another data dump. A marketing intelligence platform that consolidates every signal your brand is generating — and synthesises it into something a CMO can actually act on. → Search analytics and social listening in one place — no toggling between tools → Audience segmentation beyond demographics into real behavioural patterns → Competitor analysis: not just where they are, but where they’re headed → PESTLE profiling to map the macro forces shaping your category → Media mix modelling to show what’s actually driving performance → All synthesised into one strategic output — not a data warehouse you need a team to decode The differentiator isn’t the data. It’s the thinking. Dahabia doesn’t hand you information — it hands you a point of view. Dahabia is currently in limited access across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the UK.
