Choosing
Should you choose menus or AI answers?
A menu-and-button bot suits fixed tasks such as checking order status, making a booking or finding opening hours. Customers choose from the options you provide, so your team needs to agree the questions and routes in advance. AI answers suit more varied questions written in the customer’s own words. They take more preparation: your source content needs to be ready, the answers need testing, and the bot needs clear limits on what it should answer.
Decide which number to use early. A business already using the WhatsApp Business app can connect its number to the Cloud API through a provider and continue replying one to one in the app, with chat history synchronised. With standard registration, a number already in use on WhatsApp must first be deleted from WhatsApp before it is registered on the platform. That choice affects how you prepare for the change.
If AI is part of your plan, define its role before settling on the conversation design. Meta’s terms distinguish AI that supports a business’s own service from a general-purpose assistant offered as the primary function, and Meta decides which category applies. You talk directly to the people designing and building your product, so we can discuss the tasks and help you choose an approach.
Market
What customers in Malaysia expect from chat
Your chatbot should fit the enquiries your customers already send. Restaurants and food businesses need to take orders and table bookings in chat; schools, colleges and training providers need to handle admissions and course questions, as well as send class and fee reminders. Those are different conversations, so the questions and message templates need to follow the service you actually offer.
For real estate and travel enquiries, we can capture leads from ads, ask a few qualifying questions and pass the details to sales staff. Language is another decision for the conversation design. Malaysian English is widely used in business and understood in urban areas, so agree the wording with us around the customers you serve and the questions they ask.
Rules
What your chatbot project in Malaysia needs to handle
Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act applies to personal data processed in commercial transactions. For an order or booking flow, we map the personal details the chat collects and set up the transfer of leads and orders to your CRM, sheet or order system. Agree the information you need before adding fields to the conversation.
If you use FPX, customers pay through internet banking with funds moving directly from their bank accounts. We account for the payment link when planning the chatbot integration and the route from an order in chat to payment.
How it runs
How a WhatsApp chatbot project runs with us
We work remotely from India over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 2h30m behind, so we keep decisions and feedback on the shared board as well as discussing them on calls; you can review the work without every question waiting for a meeting.
- 01
Design and build
We learn about your business and agree the scope with you, then design the screens and refine them with your feedback before code. The same process covers building, testing, launch and ongoing support.
- 02
Prepare templates
We draft and submit business-started messages early. Order updates, reminders and offers need template categories, and templates are reviewed when created or edited; only approved templates can be sent.
- 03
Plan messaging limits
We check the implications of a new business portfolio’s limited messaging outside the customer service window. Business verification is one route to a higher limit, subject to Meta’s quality review.
- 04
Test with your staff
Your team runs real questions, orders and bookings through a test number. We check the handovers to a person and confirm that leads and orders reach the connected systems correctly.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring these to the conversation so we can agree what the chatbot needs to handle.
- Account accessHave someone at your business hold admin access to its Meta business portfolio.
- A phone numberChoose a number you own, with country and area code, that can receive a verification call or SMS.
- A privacy policyHave your policy published, with the notices and consents applicable law requires.
- Your products and servicesBring a list so restricted categories, including alcohol, healthcare products and gambling, can be checked.
- Choices for customersNote the details you want to collect in a lead form or use for product recommendations.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The work and running costs change with the conversations, product data and systems you need to connect.
Message mix
Meta charges per delivered message, with rates set by category and recipient country code. Your mix of marketing, utility, authentication and service messages shapes running costs.
Answer design
Fixed menus need agreed routes; AI answers add source-content preparation, testing and limits on what the bot should answer.
Catalogue data
The size of your catalogue and frequency of price and stock changes determine whether product data needs automatic synchronisation.
Connected systems
Sending leads and orders to a CRM, sheet or order system adds integration work to the chat itself.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with your chatbot
Asking for sensitive payment or identity numbers
Keep full payment card, financial account and personal ID card numbers out of the conversation; the policy forbids asking people to share them.
Missing an opt-out
Make sure your team respects requests to stop messages, including requests made outside WhatsApp, and removes the person from the contact list.
Putting an offer in a utility template
Keep utility messages non-promotional. WhatsApp can change the category to marketing when it finds promotional content.
Sending every campaign without considering feedback
WhatsApp may limit the marketing templates a person receives from all businesses, so an opted-in customer will not necessarily receive every message.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Malaysia
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does a WhatsApp chatbot cost?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers include the information prepared for AI answers, the catalogue or booking flow, and the connections needed for leads and orders. We learn about your business, audience and goals and agree the scope with you before preparing a quote.
Can the bot reply whenever a customer messages?
Yes. A customer message opens a 24-hour customer service window, which resets with each new message from that customer. The bot can reply freely inside that window. Outside it, messages must use approved templates, so plan any follow-up around the window and the template approval process.
Can a customer speak to a person?
Yes. The bot can hand a conversation over when a person is needed. Automation during the customer service window must have a prompt, clear escalation path, such as an in-chat transfer, a phone number, an email address or a support form. Choose a route your customers can actually use.
Who owns the work after the chatbot is built?
You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in. That gives you control over those assets after the work is delivered. Keep your business account access with someone at your organisation too, and agree with us which information and code form part of the project scope.
What should we review after launch?
Review unanswered questions and handovers regularly, then add missing answers or flows. Track conversations started, resolved without staff and handed over, alongside completed orders or bookings and opt-outs. Template quality also needs attention: negative feedback or low read rates can lead to a template being paused or disabled.
Can a clinic use the chatbot for bookings?
Yes. A clinic can use chat for bookings and reminders, reducing the messages staff need to answer individually. Keep the bot to bookings and general questions: the policy bars requesting or sending health information where regulations forbid sharing it on systems without heightened protection.
