Why pre-written replies matter: 70% of WhatsApp leads bounce within 5 min if no human reply. The bot replies instantly, but humans expect ANY follow-up reply within 30 min. With these templates ready: copy → paste → hit send. 30 seconds.
Workflow: When inbound arrives, scan the message → find matching template below → 📋 Copy → paste in WhatsApp → personalize the {brackets} → send.

30-second rule: Reply within 30 minutes during business hours. After business hours, set bot reply to "Got it, will reply with details Mon 10am" so user feels acknowledged. Lost lead happens when user feels ignored, not when reply is delayed.
What to track per inbound: Source (which page / ad / social) | Initial message | Your reply template used | Their follow-up | Outcome (booked / quote / silent / closed). After 20 inbounds, you'll see which templates convert and refine.
Template misuse to avoid: Don't paste verbatim if obvious — personalize the {brackets} + lead with their specific question, not a generic intro.
