  • Real-time WhatsApp delivery in under 10 seconds.
01

Capture the Lead Signal (Property Finder Email)

EASY ⏱ 10 Minutes

Property Finder sends lead alerts to your inbox. The goal is to extract the buyer’s name, phone, listing, and budget.

02

Build a WhatsApp Auto-Reply Template

EASY ⏱ 20 Minutes

The best Property Finder auto reply doesn’t look like an auto reply. Use localized language, reference the listing, and offer 2 clear next steps.

RECOMMENDED TEMPLATE

"Hi {{first_name}}, thanks for your inquiry on the {{listing_title}} in {{community}}. I can share full details and schedule a viewing today. Do you prefer WhatsApp call or text details?"

03

Connect the WhatsApp Integration

MEDIUM ⏱ 45 Minutes

Use an official WhatsApp Business API provider to send templated replies. Most teams route the lead payload to a webhook that then triggers a WhatsApp message.

Example webhook (Node.js)

import express from "express";
import { sendWhatsAppMessage } from "./whatsapp-client";

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

app.post("/property-finder/lead", async (req, res) => {
  const { firstName, phone, listingTitle, community } = req.body;

  const message = "Hi " + firstName + ", thanks for your inquiry on " + listingTitle + " in " + community + ". I can share full details and schedule a viewing today.";

  await sendWhatsAppMessage({
    to: phone,
    template: "lead_response_v1",
    body: message
  });

  res.status(200).json({ ok: true });
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log("Lead webhook ready"));

04

Add Smart Routing Rules

MEDIUM ⏱ 30 Minutes

The fastest teams also route leads by language, budget, and location. This turns a WhatsApp integration into a real pipeline.

Language match: If the inquiry is Arabic, route to an Arabic-speaking agent.
Budget tiers: Route luxury leads to senior brokers with area expertise.
Time-of-day fallback: Off-hours → auto-reply + morning handoff.
05

Measure Response Time (The Metric That Wins)

EASY ⏱ 10 Minutes

A real Property Finder auto reply should push your first response time under 10 seconds. Track it in a simple dashboard or spreadsheet.

What to track

  • Lead received timestamp
  • WhatsApp message sent timestamp
  • Agent takeover timestamp
  • Viewing booked or not
