Common Questions

Lead data captured in WhatsApp flows syncs automatically to your CRM, and triggers from your DMS — such as service interval alerts or ownership anniversary milestones — can initiate automated WhatsApp campaigns without manual data exports.

Nowdesk connects with your showroom's calendar or booking system to show real-time slot availability. Buyers select their preferred time via WhatsApp, receive an instant confirmation, and get automated reminders with directions and salesperson details before their visit. No-show rates consistently drop by 30–40% with this multi-touch sequence.

Yes. Nowdesk's routing rules assign inbound enquiries based on vehicle model interest, showroom location, or customer tier. You can also set round-robin distribution across your sales team for fair lead allocation, with escalation rules if a consultant doesn't respond within a defined window.

Service reminders are triggered by ownership data — either time elapsed since last service or mileage milestones synced from your DMS. Messages are personalised with the owner's name, vehicle model, and recommended service type. Owners can book directly via WhatsApp reply, and the appointment is routed to your service scheduling system automatically.

Absolutely. Multi-brand groups can configure separate WhatsApp numbers, routing rules, and content libraries per brand or location — all managed from a single Nowdesk workspace.

Yes. Nowdesk's re-engagement sequences automatically follow up with enquiries that didn't progress within a defined period — sending personalised messages with updated offers, new model availability, or financing promotions. These campaigns consistently recover a meaningful percentage of leads that would otherwise be lost to inactivity.
