New deal triggers WhatsApp outreach instantly

When a new deal is created in HubSpot, the agent creates a Botbaba contact for the prospect, tags them as a prospect, and sends a personalised WhatsApp intro message with the rep's meeting booking link — all before the rep has opened the CRM record. First contact happens faster, and reps only step in for the conversation.

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    30 min / week
    Manual prospect WhatsApp entry and outreach

    Agent creates contacts and sends WhatsApp outreach at deal creation

    When a new deal is created in the CRM, the agent adds the prospect to Botbaba and sends a personalised WhatsApp intro template within about a minute — before the rep has opened the record.

  • Marketing
    45 min / week
    Manual broadcast campaign setup and reporting

    The marketing team manually creates each broadcast in Botbaba, sets up targeting, monitors delivery, and exports analytics to copy into a reporting spreadsheet after each campaign.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates and logs broadcast campaigns automatically

    When a campaign is planned, the agent creates the Botbaba broadcast, fires it at the right time, retrieves analytics, and writes results back to the reporting sheet — the team never touches the Botbaba dashboard.

  • Customer Support
    25 min / week
    Manual post-resolution WhatsApp follow-up

    Support agents manually find each resolved customer in Botbaba, compose and send a follow-up message, and update the ticket record — adding several minutes to every closure.

    Agent sends WhatsApp follow-up at ticket resolution

    When a ticket is resolved, the agent sends a WhatsApp satisfaction check to the customer and logs the send — every case is closed out through WhatsApp without a support agent drafting individual messages.

  • Human Resources
    15 min / week
    Manual new-hire WhatsApp onboarding

    HR manually adds each new hire to Botbaba, applies tags, and drafts a WhatsApp welcome message — a repetitive 10-minute process per hire that competes with higher-value onboarding tasks.

    Agent creates new-hire Botbaba contacts and sends welcome on first-day eve

    When a new hire is added to the HR system, the agent creates their Botbaba contact, tags them by department, and sends a personalised WhatsApp welcome — all before their first morning.

  • Finance
    40 min / week
    Manual overdue invoice chasing

    The accounts team manually identifies overdue invoices, looks up contact details, calls or emails each payer, and logs the chase attempt — consuming significant time each week on low-value admin.

    Agent sends WhatsApp payment reminders at invoice due dates

    When an invoice becomes overdue, the agent sends a WhatsApp payment reminder template to the payer and logs the delivery — no accounts team member has to call or email to chase.

  • Operations
    60 min / week
    Manual WhatsApp performance report assembly

    Operations manually logs into Botbaba, exports analytics for each team's campaigns, compiles the numbers into a summary spreadsheet, and formats the report for leadership — a weekly task that takes over an hour.

    Operations Agent

    Agent compiles cross-team WhatsApp performance reports weekly

    Every Monday the operations agent retrieves WhatsApp analytics from Botbaba and writes a cross-team performance summary to the dashboard — leadership has the data without anyone building a report.

  • Legal
    20 min / week
    Manual GDPR contact deletion and logging

    The legal or operations team manually locates each contact in Botbaba, deletes their record, and writes the deletion event to a compliance log — a fiddly, high-stakes process prone to missed entries.

    Legal Agent

    Agent processes deletion requests and logs compliance evidence automatically

    When data deletion requests arrive, the agent deletes the relevant Botbaba contacts, logs each deletion with a timestamp, and files the evidence in the compliance record — all within the required regulatory window.

FAQs

Questions about Botbaba + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Botbaba?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find Botbaba, and click Connect. The recommended path is API key — go to your Botbaba dashboard, navigate to Settings, generate an API key, and paste it into the connection field. Actionist runs a test call to verify the handshake before any agent actions execute. Once connected, agents can create and manage bots, send template messages, manage contacts, and run broadcast campaigns directly from Actionist.
What permissions does the agent need on my Botbaba account?
For read-only operations like fetching contacts, listing broadcasts, or retrieving message analytics, a standard API key with read permissions is sufficient. For write operations — sending template messages, creating bots, managing contacts, or launching broadcast campaigns — the key needs full account access. Generate the key in Botbaba under Settings and store it securely; it inherits the permissions of the generating user.
Can I connect Botbaba to other apps in the same workflow?
Yes — Botbaba is most powerful when paired with the apps where leads and customers already exist. Common combinations: create or update Botbaba contacts when new leads arrive in HubSpot or Google Sheets; send WhatsApp template messages when deals move to a new stage in your CRM; log message delivery status back to a Notion database; or trigger broadcast campaigns when a Shopify order is placed. Any of Actionist's 200+ connected apps can send or receive data alongside Botbaba in the same workflow.
What are the most common things agents do with Botbaba?
The four patterns that come up most often: (1) lead capture — a new contact is created in Botbaba whenever a form submission or CRM event fires; (2) broadcast campaigns — a WhatsApp template message is sent to a segment when a product launches or a promotion starts; (3) contact sync — Botbaba contacts are kept in sync with your CRM so messaging lists stay clean; (4) post-conversation follow-up — after a chatbot flow completes, the agent logs the outcome to a spreadsheet or creates a follow-up task in your project tool.
How do I send WhatsApp template messages via Actionist?
Use the Send WhatsApp Template Message action and specify the template name registered in your Botbaba account. Templates must be approved by WhatsApp Business before they can be sent; Actionist cannot approve templates — that step must be done inside Botbaba. Once a template is live, agents can send it programmatically to any contact with a valid WhatsApp number, inserting dynamic variables (name, order number, link) as parameters in the action.
Can agents run Botbaba broadcast campaigns automatically?
Botbaba's broadcast campaigns in Actionist require a named campaign to be created first (Create Broadcast Campaign), after which messages can be dispatched to a defined contact segment. You can trigger this sequence from any upstream event — a new Shopify order, a stage change in your CRM, or a scheduled agent task. Botbaba enforces WhatsApp Business API rate limits; the agent respects these and will queue sends accordingly, but very large broadcast lists may need to be batched.
Can Actionist keep my Botbaba contact list synced with my CRM?
Yes — use the Create Contact or Update Contact actions when a new record arrives from your CRM, form tool, or e-commerce platform. Agents can also apply tags to contacts (Create Tag, Apply Tag to Contact) to segment them for future broadcasts. If a contact already exists and you want to avoid duplicates, use Fetch Contact by ID first to check before writing. Keeping Botbaba contacts in sync with your CRM takes under 60 seconds to configure as a standing agent task.
Can Actionist pull analytics from Botbaba campaigns and write them to a spreadsheet?
Actionist can retrieve broadcast analytics and message status for delivered campaigns using the Retrieve Broadcast Details and Get Message Analytics actions. After a campaign runs, an agent can fetch delivery rates, open indicators, and response counts and write them to a Google Sheet or Notion database — giving you a campaign performance record without anyone manually exporting from the Botbaba dashboard. Scheduling this as a post-campaign agent task takes about two minutes to set up.
