It’s all about being transparent, learning from each other, and building real connections.

On another note, join our new FOMO WhatsApp Group: Cape Town ⛰.

WhatsApp Business Calls, Now in Synthflow

Billions of customers already use WhatsApp to reach businesses they trust. But here’s the gap: 65% still prefer voice for urgent issues, while 40% of calls go unanswered — costing $100–$200 in lost revenue each time. That’s trust and revenue walking out the door.

With Synthflow, Voice AI Agents can now answer WhatsApp calls directly, combining support, booking, routing, and follow-ups in one conversation.

It’s not just answering calls — it’s protecting revenue and trust where your customers already are.

One channel, zero missed calls.
