What is a WhatsApp CRM for real estate?

A WhatsApp CRM puts your WhatsApp Business conversations inside the system that holds your leads, so a buyer's chat sits next to their enquiry, stage and follow-ups instead of only on a phone. In WIYO this is WhatsApp Pro, connected to your own WhatsApp Business number.

Does WIYO use the official WhatsApp Business Platform?

Yes. WhatsApp Pro connects through Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API). You link your own WhatsApp Business number with Meta's Embedded Signup inside WIYO, and message templates are approved by Meta before you can send them.

Can my whole team see the WhatsApp inbox?

No. In WIYO the WhatsApp Pro inbox is private to the member who connected the number. Teammates and the company owner cannot read it. Leads, listings and pipeline stay shared through the CRM as your roles allow.

Can I message a buyer after 24 hours?

Meta lets you send free-form replies within 24 hours of the buyer's last message. After that window you need a Meta-approved message template, and you should only send it to buyers who have agreed to hear from you.

Does the AI reply to buyers on its own?

In the inbox, the AI drafts the next reply into the agent's message box and the agent decides what is sent. Messages go out automatically only from the auto-reply rules, bots or campaigns you switch on yourself.

The WhatsApp Problem in UAE Real Estate

WhatsApp is a central buyer-conversation channel in the UAE. Many agencies still manage messages from agents' personal phones — which means: no audit trail, messages lost when agents leave, no team visibility, no professionalism, and zero way to enforce response SLAs. The migration path, personal number vs Business app vs Business Platform, is a playbook of its own.

And worse: when an agent is off, the buyer who messages them at 11pm gets ghosted. By morning, they've already signed with someone else. We compare the three ways to handle after-hours property leads in Dubai on cost, speed and risk.

WIYO's WhatsApp Pro — A Professional Inbox Inside the CRM

Built on Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform. You connect a WhatsApp Business number, and every message, inbound and outbound, lands in your inbox inside WIYO. The inbox is private to the member who connected it. AI drafts the next reply from the conversation; the agent edits it and decides what is sent. The 24-hour window, template categories and per-message pricing are explained in WhatsApp for Dubai brokerages, rule by rule.

How Buyers Are Handled 24/7 — Without Hiring More Staff

When a buyer messages at 11pm, an auto-reply rule you set up can answer straight away, so the conversation stays warm until an agent picks it up. In the morning the agent opens the chat, and AI drafts the next reply from the conversation for the agent to check and send.

Who Pays for WhatsApp Messages

Meta charges for some WhatsApp messages, such as certain template messages, and bills them to the payment method on your own WhatsApp Business Account. WIYO does not add a per-message fee on top, and WhatsApp Pro shows your conversation counts so the spend is never a surprise. Send templates only to buyers who have agreed to hear from you.
