The feature most businesses never knew existed

Customers tap a button,
not type a message

Interactive messages put buttons, lists, catalogs, and receipts inside WhatsApp and every channel you run. Customers choose with one tap, and both sales and support move dramatically faster.

What exactly is an interactive message?

A normal message says something and stops there. An interactive message says something and hands the customer a one-tap way to respond: a button, a list of choices, a product to buy, or a pin to open on the map.

WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram have supported them officially for years, yet most businesses still treat chat as plain text. The ones who use them close sales faster and hand their support team hours back.

The rule is simple: the less typing you ask of a customer, the more likely they finish the journey.

Anatomy of an interactive message

🛒1

Your order is ready for pickup at the Riyadh branch. Who will collect it?

🙋 Me, in person
🚗 A delivery driver

  1. 1Header: an image, video, or document that catches the eye
  2. 2Body: your message, a clear question with a definite answer
  3. 3Buttons: the ready answers, each one can trigger an automation

Same question, two completely different experiences

A customer wants to know where their order is. See the difference yourself.
