ILLUSTRATIVE CONVERSATION

A conversation with a next step

Hello, I have a question about test drive request.
Which model would you like to experience?
I’m enquiring about model. Could your team help me understand the options and process?
Which branch and day work for you? You can skip anything you would rather discuss with a colleague.
I’d prefer to discuss the details with someone.
Of course. With your permission, I can pass your enquiry and preferred contact method to our team. They’ll confirm the next step.

Illustration only. Questions and replies must be adapted to the business’s approved process.

Information captured

Suggested fields to review during configuration. They are not automatically required.

  • Model
  • Branch
  • Preferred date and time

Explain why a detail is needed, let the visitor correct it, and use the minimum information necessary. Ask permission before arranging a follow-up.

Knowledge to provide

  • Vehicle and service information approved by the business
  • Branch hours and booking process
  • Sales and workshop escalation contacts
  • Approved answers to “Which model would you like to experience?” and “Which branch and day work for you?”
  • A named team responsible for test drive request enquiries

Give each source an owner and a review date. Remove outdated instructions before the workflow goes live.

Integrations and limits

Vehicle availability and licence checks are handled by dealership staff.

Without that connection, the assistant can explain the approved process and collect a request for staff. It should state what is known, what is requested and what still needs confirmation.

When staff takes over

Special access requirements or a last-minute reschedule.

Also hand over when the visitor asks for a person, information is missing or the same question remains unresolved. Pass the enquiry summary with the handoff so the visitor does not have to start again.

Set up with your team

  1. Discuss the workflow. Share your appointments process and review the fields above with WhatsOS.
  2. Connect your business number. Use the existing Meta connection flow in WhatsOS and complete the account setup.
  3. Prepare approved knowledge. Supply service information and agree on the handoff owner. Confirm which actions your configuration actually supports.
  4. Test before enabling. Try normal enquiries, missing details, a request for a person and special access requirements or a last-minute reschedule.
  5. Review live enquiries. Use the team inbox to handle follow-ups and improve unclear answers.

Questions about test drive request

What does the team need from the first conversation?

Start with model and branch. Collect the other suggested details only if they help the next action. Which branch and day work for you?

Can it complete this request automatically?

Vehicle availability and licence checks are handled by dealership staff. The catalogue is an example, not a claim that the integration is already enabled for your account.

Which situations need a colleague?

Special access requirements or a last-minute reschedule. Agree on the responsible team and response expectations before launch.

Can we change the questions?

Yes. Review these prompts against your automotive process. Which model would you like to experience? may need a shorter form or additional context for your customers. Test changes with staff before enabling them.
