Low-code and no-code development agencies · WhatsApp marketing

Answer the first message with a question about users, and keep the thread alive.

WhatsApp for a low-code agency is where a founder's first enquiry, a demo link and an approval of a screen are exchanged. GullySales works on the opening reply, saved messages, and the rules for moving a chat into a scoping call.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For low-code and no-code development agencies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The founder writes before they open the website”

    A voice note or a one-line message arrives from a link in a community post. The reply within a short while decides if the agency is considered, so a prepared opener matters.

  • “Demos travel well on WhatsApp”

    A link to a working demo app, opened on a phone, impresses more than a deck. The reply that includes a relevant demo and a question moves the chat forward.

  • “Group chats with clients can blur scope”

    During a build, a client in a group chat asks for small changes that add up. Without a record of what version one holds, the chat becomes a list of unpaid extras.

  • “Broadcasts need permission”

    A list of founders added without asking will complain or block. Messages should go only to people who have agreed to hear from the agency, and the platform's current rules apply.

What we do

What we deliver for low-code and no-code development agencies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. An opening reply and quick answers

    A first reply that asks about users and the first workflow, plus saved replies on cost to run, ownership and limits.

    Result: A set of saved replies ready for the common questions.

  2. A demo-link message

    A short message that sends the right demo for the idea and asks one question.

    Result: A message template for each demo.

  3. A rule for moving chats to a call

    A simple rule on when a thread should become a scoping call, and how to book it.

    Result: A written rule used by everyone who answers.

  4. A client group etiquette note

    A note for build groups that says how change requests are logged and how version two items are listed.

    Result: A change log kept outside the chat.

  5. A permission record for broadcasts

    A list of people who agreed to receive notes, with the date and how they agreed.

    Result: A list with a consent record for every number.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to capture or send

The messages a founder gets on WhatsApp, and what each should carry.

First reply to an enquiry
One question about who will use the app and what the first workflow is. It shows a builder is reading and moves the chat away from price.
A forwarded demo link
Send a live app with a line on what to click first. Founders forward it to a partner, so keep the message self-explanatory.
Voice note reply to a voice note
When the founder sends audio, a short audio answer from the builder feels natural. Follow with the key points in writing so nothing is lost.
Scoping confirmation
The version-one list as plain lines the buyer can approve with a word. Keep a copy in the record.
Handover notes after launch
A short message with where the platform account, backups and support contact live. It reduces later confusion and shows the client how to reach you.

Who it is for

This is written for these low-code and no-code development agencies.

  • First-time founders building a marketplace, booking or community app
  • Startups wanting a working version to show investors
  • Small manufacturers and distributors replacing spreadsheets with an internal tool
  • Clinics, schools and coaching institutes needing booking and fee tracking
  • Company departments building approval and reporting tools on Power Apps
  • Agencies and consultants who resell a built app to their own clients
  • Overseas founders hiring an Indian team for a no-code build
  • Zoho and Microsoft customers extending the tools they already pay for

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have not obtained permission from contacts to message them, so WhatsApp broadcasts would breach the platform's rules and trust.
  • One person holds the phone and others cannot see the chats, so conversations would be lost when that person is away.
  • You have no way to move a chat into your records, so scoping details would sit only in a phone.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Read the chats you already have

    We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.

  2. 2

    Sort the list and the permission

    Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.

  3. 3

    Choose the app or the API

    One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.

  4. 4

    Write the replies and the plan

    The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.

  5. 5

    Connect the record and test

    Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.

  6. 6

    Read the unanswered questions

    A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we use the WhatsApp Business API?
Consider it when message volume or team size makes the app hard to manage. For a small agency, the Business app with saved replies and labels is enough. Check the platform's current rules and costs before you move.
How quickly should we reply?
Reply as soon as someone can give a thoughtful answer. A short acknowledgement that a builder will reply is better than a long silence. Do not promise a time you cannot keep.
Can we send updates about new builds?
Only to people who agreed to receive them. Keep them useful, such as a new demo or a lesson from a build, and make it easy to leave the list. An unwanted broadcast harms the agency's name.
Can the team share one WhatsApp number?
Yes, through the Business app on a few devices or the WhatsApp Business API with a provider. The reason is that buyers write when it suits them, so more than one person must see the chat. Check the platform's current rules on linked devices and bulk messages.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
