As a Nigerian vendor, the hustle doesn't stop. But you cannot be online 24/7. The problem is, if a customer DMs you at 2 AM asking "Is this available?" and you don't reply instantly, they move to the next vendor.
You need a Robot.
Here is how to set up a free "Receptionist" for your WhatsApp Business that replies instantly.
Method 1: The Native "Away Message" (Basic)
Open WhatsApp Business.
Go to Settings > Business Tools > Away Message.
Turn on "Send away message".
The Script: Don't use the boring default. Use this:
"Hi! 👋 Thanks for reaching out to [Your Brand]. I'm currently resting (recharging to serve you better!). Please drop your order details or questions here. I will attend to you by 8 AM sharp! 🚀"
Method 2: Auto-Responder Apps (Advanced) For smarter replies (e.g., if they type "Price", the bot replies "₦5,000"), you need a third-party app.
Android Users: Download "AutoResponder for WA" on Play Store.
How it works: You create rules.
Rule: If incoming text contains "Account Number".
Reply: "Here is our details: GTBank, 0123456789, Screenbuka."
Now you can sleep well while your bot secures the bag! 💰
