Do I need the WhatsApp Business API to use this?
For automatic rules, campaigns and the shared inbox, yes: you connect your own provider account and Dialmio sends through it. Manual one-tap WhatsApp from a lead record uses the ordinary WhatsApp app on the phone and needs no API.
What do WhatsApp messages cost?
Nothing extra to Dialmio: WhatsApp is in the one plan. Your API provider bills the messages at its own rates, without any markup from us.
Can the caller edit a message before it sends?
Yes, with the ask-first setting on a rule. The draft appears on the caller screen after the call and goes only when they confirm, which suits messages that quote a price or a date.
Will automatic messages annoy customers?
Not if the guards are used. Quiet hours stop anything going out at night, the cooldown stops two rules firing at one person, and messages are tied to something the customer just did, such as ringing you, rather than to a schedule.
Can I see whether a customer replied?
Yes. Unread and unreplied badges show on the lead and in the inbox, and the reply sits on the same thread as the call that prompted it.
Is this a WhatsApp CRM or a call CRM?
It is one CRM in which calls and WhatsApp share a lead thread. The distinction matters because a customer who is called on Monday and messaged on Tuesday should be one conversation, not two systems.
How many messages can a campaign send?
A campaign goes out in measured batches over a period rather than as a single burst, so a large segment does not trip any limits. Each human gets one message per campaign, however many numbers are stored against them.
Do I need a WhatsApp Business API account?
For automatic and bulk messages, yes: you connect your own provider account and Dialmio sends through it, so customers see your number. One-tap manual WhatsApp from a lead record works with the ordinary WhatsApp app on the phone without any API.
Can I define my own lead statuses?
Yes, in your own words, and rename or reorder them whenever you like. The stages you set shape the lists, the filters and the reports, so a business selling site visits and one selling policies each see a pipeline that looks like their own.
Whose WhatsApp number do messages go from, and what do they cost?
Your own. Dialmio sends through the WhatsApp Business API account you link, so customers see your business number. The feature is inside the plan; the messages are billed by the API provider at its own rates.
How do new leads reach the right caller?
Connect Dialmio to wherever enquiries already land, a Google Sheet or a web address, and it keeps checking that source. New entries are imported every few minutes, labelled with the source, dealt out in turn among the callers you picked, and announced on the phone of whoever received them.
What happens when a number that is not a lead calls?
The call is logged like any other, and the caller can convert it into a lead from the after-call sheet with one tap, source marked Incoming. A number that rings twice becomes one record with two calls on it, never two records.
