Estimated reading: 4 minutes

Overview

Forms in WhatsApp can be a helpful tool for capturing customer data and streamlining communication with your customers. By creating forms within WhatsApp and sending them to your customers, you can easily gather important information and feedback, such as contact details, preferences, and satisfaction ratings. This can help you better understand your customers and their needs, allowing you to provide a more personalized and effective service. 

In addition, forms in WhatsApp can be completed and submitted quickly and easily, making them a convenient option for both you and your customers. They also allow you to collect data in real-time, giving you up-to-date insights and allowing you to make informed decisions more quickly.
