How ForwardChat Works

From setup to your first AI-powered reply — in under 24 hours.

01

Connect Your WhatsApp Number

We connect ForwardChat to your WhatsApp Business number using Meta’s official Cloud API. Your existing number stays the same — customers won’t notice any difference. Your WhatsApp Business App keeps working too.

  • We handle the Meta WhatsApp Business Platform registration for you
  • Your WhatsApp Business App still works alongside ForwardChat
  • ForwardChat starts receiving all incoming messages
  • Takes about 15 minutes with our guided setup

Configure Your Business Info

Tell the AI about your business — your name, address, operating hours, payment methods, and product catalog. Upload your products via CSV or add them manually with prices, SKUs, and stock levels. The AI uses all of this to give accurate answers.

  • Business name, address, and operating hours (per day)
  • Product catalog with prices, SKUs, and live stock levels
  • CSV import for bulk product upload
  • Payment methods, parking info, delivery areas
  • Custom AI personality (friendly, professional, or casual)

Teach Your AI What to Know

This is where ForwardChat becomes truly yours. Add FAQs, business policies, active promotions, and rules your AI must follow. Every entry you add makes the AI smarter and more accurate. And when a customer asks something the AI can’t answer, it flags the question for you — add the answer once, and the AI never gets it wrong again.

  • Knowledge Base with categories — FAQs, policies, promotions, rules
  • Add or update entries anytime — AI picks up changes instantly
  • AI Learning: unanswered questions are flagged automatically
  • Answer once, AI remembers forever
  • Your AI gets smarter every single week
