Tips
Make it work better
Tip 1
WhatsApp Flows need a plan that includes Flows.
Tip 2
Editing a live bot stops runs that are waiting on a delay — avoid changing it the day before many appointments.
Tip 3
Copy reminder wording from our appointment templates.

If more than 24 hours have passed since the customer's last message, WhatsApp only allows approved templates.

No. Lead Pattern's bot builder is a visual canvas — you click triggers and steps and connect them. Only the Call an API step needs your system's address.
