WhatsApp Marketing That Gets Replies, Not Ignored
Send promotions, event news, and reminders to the right customers through the official WhatsApp Business API. When they reply, AI answers straight away, and every campaign is measured all the way to its replies.
In short
WhatsApp marketing is marketing over WhatsApp: sending promotions, updates, or reminders to customers who have opted in, then carrying the conversation through to a purchase. In Cekat.AI, campaigns go out through the official WhatsApp Business API using Meta-approved templates, replies are answered by AI, and results are measured from sent and read through to replied.

Trusted by 3,000+ businesses across Asia.
The problem
The broadcast went out, nobody replied
We send promos on WhatsApp all the time, but few people reply, and when they do, we are often slow to answer.
Sound familiar?
- 01
One message for everyone
Loyal customers and people who asked one question once get the same promo. Irrelevant messages get ignored, or worse, reported.
- 02
Replies with nobody to answer
A broadcast that works sets off hundreds of replies at once. If the team cannot answer quickly, the moment to buy passes.
- 03
Only sends get counted
Without read and reply numbers per campaign, you cannot tell which messages work and which ones to stop sending.
How it runs
From recipient list to answered replies
One campaign, from preparation to results, without switching apps.
Trigger
A promo, event, or reminder needs to go out
A product launch, a weekend discount, an event invitation, or a payment reminder.

Step 5
Results read per campaign
Broadcast analytics show how many messages were sent, delivered, read, failed, and replied to, so you know which messages are worth repeating.
Outcome
Campaigns that start conversations
Messages reach the right people, replies never wait, and every campaign has numbers to judge it by.
Sample conversation
One broadcast, then a conversation that ends in an order
A store sends a weekend promo to customers who have bought before. One of them replies, and the AI completes the order in the chat.

Figures reported directly by Cekat.AI customers.

BPJS Ketenagakerjaan: on-time payment compliance doubled
BPJS Ketenagakerjaan's largest branch used to rely on manual payment reminders, which led to arrears, messy records, and low contribution collection. With automated reminders, auto-labeling, and workflows in Cekat.AI, payment discipline improved and the admin load fell. The pilot succeeded and is now being considered for a national rollout.
