SHARP LYNX / Marketing services

WhatsApp & SMS Automation

Keep conversations moving with relevant, permission-based messaging.

What this means for your business

Consent-based reminders, follow-up and retention messages at the right moment.

A reminder can be helpful; a stream of unexpected messages can damage trust. We connect permission-based WhatsApp and SMS messages to meaningful events, such as a booked appointment or requested follow-up, with clear preference and opt-out handling.

Is it the right next step?

Useful when customers have given appropriate permission and timely messages support a real customer journey. A phone number in a spreadsheet does not establish marketing consent.

The decisions behind the work

A closer look at the strategy.

01

Permission is part of the flow

We map how consent is captured, stored and checked before a message is sent. Opt-outs must affect later messages, not just the current campaign.

02

Coordinate timing and frequency

Booking changes, replies and customer stages can make a scheduled message irrelevant. We define when to cancel or suppress a message and avoid duplicate sends across channels.

03

Plan for failed delivery

Numbers change and templates can be rejected. The workflow should surface delivery problems and provide a sensible handoff without repeatedly contacting someone through another channel.

Our approach

How we build it.

01

Consent first

Design opt-in, preference and opt-out handling for your market and provider.

02

Customer journeys

Build enquiry follow-up, appointment reminders and retention flows.

03

Coordination

Connect messaging to CRM stages and avoid duplicate or mistimed sends.

Workflow example

A typical campaign cycle.

  1. 01Map journeys
  2. 02Review consent
  3. 03Prepare templates
  4. 04Connect triggers

  6. 06Monitor responses

Measurement, not guesswork

Know what the numbers mean.

We review delivery, replies, attended bookings and opt-outs. Provider rules, regional requirements and customer consent affect what can be sent; delivery does not prove a message was read or caused a sale.

FAQ

WhatsApp & SMS Automation questions.

Can you message our whole contact list?+

Only contacts with appropriate permission should receive marketing messages. We review consent and platform rules before any campaign.

Can WhatsApp and SMS use the same campaign?+

The journey can be coordinated, but channel permissions, template requirements and customer preferences differ. We do not assume consent for one channel applies to the other.
