1. 01

   Client sends a message

   They ask for a status, a document, a meeting, or an update on ongoing work.

2. 02

   WatMark receives it in the shared inbox

   The thread is available to the team, with the earlier conversation attached.

3. 03

   The conversation is assigned

   An account manager or the right teammate becomes the owner of the chat.

4. 04

   They reply with the context in view

   A quick reply can cover a routine update, then be edited for that client.

5. 05

   A follow-up task is created

   The promised document, call, or review is added to the task board.

6. 06

   The team follows up

   The task stays visible so the commitment is not left in one person's memory.

7. 07

   Someone else can continue the relationship

   If the owner is away, a teammate can reply with the history still in the chat.

Note

The open request is the work. Once the client, the owner, and the document still to send are on one thread, a colleague can continue it.

Questions to settle first

• Which clients message a personal number instead of the firm?
• Who should own a status request when the usual manager is away?
• What usually has to go out next — a document, an update, or a call?
• Do different services use different WhatsApp numbers?

Common wrong turns

• Keeping a client thread on one employee’s phone.
• Repeating the same status update from memory.
• Losing a pending document because it was never a task.
