The short answer

WhatsApp lead qualification means asking a new enquiry a few set questions — need, budget, timing — automatically, and routing the lead by the answers. In Adwix Connect an automation rule replies instantly, a chatbot flow asks the questions and saves each answer to the contact, and the chat is tagged, staged and assigned to a person.

Why it matters

Ad leads cool off within minutes, and most enquiries arrive after hours or while your team is busy.

Salespeople then spend their day asking the same first three questions, to people who were never going to buy.

How to set it up

1
Give each ad its own first message. A different pre-filled message per ad tells you what the lead is asking about.
2
Reply instantly with a rule. A Keyword Match or First Message rule answers in seconds and starts a chatbot flow.
3
Ask and save. Ask Question nodes collect details such as city, budget or travel date, validate them and save them to the contact.
4
Tag, stage and assign. Add a tag such as hot-lead, set the lead stage and assign the chat to the right salesperson.
5
Follow up. A template nudges leads who went quiet. Replies after a Click-to-WhatsApp ad can fall inside Meta’s free entry point window of up to 7 days.

When the lead came from a Click-to-WhatsApp ad and you replied within 24 hours, messages for up to 7 days are not charged. Work out your own number with the WhatsApp API pricing calculator.
