WhatsApp automation in Hyderabad gives your business number an assistant that never sleeps: it answers chats from your approved Business Details in Telugu, Urdu, English or Hinglish, texts back WhatsApp calls you could not take, and can ring a customer back with an AI voice call. For a study-abroad consultancy, an interior studio or a plotted-layout project, that means the late-night caller hears from you before they try the next office.

## Missed WhatsApp calls are the quiet leak

Many customers in Hyderabad do not type first; they tap the call button inside WhatsApp. Students ring consultants after college, home-buyers ring after work, and a lot of those calls land when your counsellor is with someone else or the office is shut. A missed WhatsApp call leaves no voicemail. Unless someone notices and calls back, the enquiry quietly goes elsewhere.

The AI cannot pick up a WhatsApp call itself, but it can make sure nobody who called is left waiting, which is where most of the value sits for these businesses.

## What the assistant does on your number

Link the number you already use through WhatsApp's **Linked Devices** screen, by pairing code or QR. Then, per number:

- **Missed-call auto-reply.** The call is declined politely and followed by your text, an **AI voice callback**, or both. The callback has its own language, purpose, maximum length, cooldown and daily limit. Tick **Only outside working hours** and daytime calls still ring your phone.
- **Smart reply (AI).** Each message answered from that number's Business Details, in the customer's language.
- **Custom auto-reply.** A fixed message when you would rather not use the AI.
- **Keyword Auto-Call.** A message with your keyword, perhaps *callback* or *counselling*, is answered with an AI call.
- **Intent-based calling.** In the console it is **Call when the customer agrees**: when a chat shows real interest, the AI asks once if your team may call, and on a yes calls in the customer's language with a chat summary.

Setup steps are in the [WhatsApp documentation](/docs/whatsapp).

## Hyderabad businesses where this helps

These are scenarios:

- **Study-abroad and admission consultants.** Questions on countries, intakes, test scores and fees, often from parents. **What this number should do** can ask every chat for the course and target intake.
- **Interior studios and furniture showrooms.** "2BHK full interior kitna hoga?" is answered with the ranges you list, and an interested buyer is offered a call to fix a site measurement.
- **Plotted layouts and villa projects.** Location, approvals you have listed, site-visit days. **Today's update** can say "site visits this Sunday 10 am to 4 pm".
- **Pearl and jewellery counters.** Designs, timings and whether a piece can be reserved; your staff take the bargaining from the inbox.

## Example: a missed call at 10:40 pm

> **Example**
>
> A student who asked about Germany in a chat last week rings the consultancy on WhatsApp at 10:40 pm. Nobody can take it.
>
> **Text sent straight after** *(the auto-reply message you wrote)*: Sorry we missed your call. Our counsellors are available 10 am to 7 pm, and we will call you back shortly.
>
> **AI voice callback, in the language set for callbacks:** Hello, you called us a few minutes ago. Are you still looking at a Master's in Germany for next year's intake? I can note your course and a good time for a counsellor to call.

The callback is a real AI call billed at your call rate. It reaches the student only because they had messaged before; WhatsApp hides the number of a first-time caller, so that call is declined but cannot be returned. Calls also respect your DND hours.

## Live data, inbox, exceptions and broadcasts

- **Live data in replies.** Things that change, such as seats left in a batch or which plots are still available, can come from your own API. The Owner sets it up under **Integrations → My APIs** (enabled per workspace) and ticks it per number. On calls, the same API is read either before dialling or mid-call when the customer mentions something; one mode at a time, and a failed API never stops a call. See [Custom APIs](/docs/custom-apis).
- **Conversations.** Every chat in one inbox, where counsellors and sales staff reply by hand at any time. Nothing is handed over automatically.
- **Exceptions.** Partner universities' contacts, your agents and family stay off automation; their calls ring through.
- **Broadcasts.** Before an intake deadline, one approved template can go to a list, now or scheduled, leaving out anyone who opted out. It needs Meta WhatsApp or Automate Chats connected and is Owner-only. See [WhatsApp broadcasts](/docs/whatsapp-broadcasts).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the AI answer a WhatsApp voice call?

No. It declines the call and follows up with your text and, if enabled, an AI voice callback on the phone network.

### Why did a caller not get our text-back?

WhatsApp hides first-time callers behind a privacy ID, so only people who have messaged your number before can be texted or called back.

### Can callbacks happen only after office hours?

Yes. Choose Only outside working hours and calls during your working hours ring through to your phone as usual.

### A parent writes in Urdu. Will the reply be in Urdu?

Yes. Chat replies follow the language the customer writes in, Urdu, Telugu, English or Hinglish.

### Does MySA have an office in Hyderabad?

No. Setup is online, so a business in Hyderabad, Secunderabad or anywhere in India can start in the Test workspace.
