How to Implement These Sequences Effortlessly

These 7 templates are effective on paper, but their real value comes from automatic triggering at the right moment. All of these sequences run through the WhatsApp Business API, and Reepli automates them for you — no code, no complex setup. In minutes, your messages go out automatically based on the triggers you define. Plus, with new WhatsApp usernames, prospects can reach you even more easily before entering these automated flows.

"These 7 sequences save our clients an average of 3–4 hours of manual work per week. Multiply that by 52 weeks..."
Pro tip: Start by automating appointment confirmation and the 24h reminder. These two sequences have the best immediate ROI — you'll reduce no-shows from the very first week.
