How to Auto-Reply to Property Finder Leads in WhatsApp (Step-by-Step)

In Dubai, the first reply wins. A WhatsApp integration for Property Finder can turn sleepy inbox leads into instant conversations that convert.

Below is a complete, field-tested workflow to build an auto-reply system that feels personal, not robotic.

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

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.

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.

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"));

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

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