# WhatsApp automations

## Why WhatsApp?

With over **2 billion active users**, WhatsApp is the world's most popular messaging platform — and it's the perfect channel for AI-powered automation. Your customers, team members, and contacts are already there. No app downloads, no onboarding friction.

CodeWords gives you **three ways to integrate** with WhatsApp:

* **Shared DM bot number** (`+447424366129`) — run 1:1 workflows, notifications, and AI agents through a shared CodeWords bot number
* **Shared group bot number** (`+447466216790`) — add a shared CodeWords bot number to your WhatsApp groups to run workflows and AI agents there
* **Connect your own number (beta)** — link your personal WhatsApp number by QR code when you want messages to be sent from you, not a shared bot

{% hint style="info" %}
The shared WhatsApp numbers are CodeWords bot numbers used in workflows and agent building. They are not support numbers for contacting the CodeWords team.
{% endhint %}

Whether you're building a no-code WhatsApp bot for customer support, a personal AI agent for productivity, or an automated WhatsApp chatbot for lead qualification — CodeWords and Cody make it possible in minutes, not months.

## What You Can Build

The WhatsApp automation platform supports a wide range of use cases:

| Use Case                   | Description                                                                                                     |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Personal AI Assistants** | A WhatsApp AI agent that manages your calendar, tasks, and email — like having a personal Jarvis in your pocket |
| **Group Bots**             | Smart bots for WhatsApp groups that answer questions, moderate content, and summarize discussions               |
| **Notification Systems**   | Automated alerts for orders, appointments, payments, and custom triggers                                        |
| **Two-Way Integrations**   | Connect WhatsApp to CRMs, databases, APIs, and 100+ tools for seamless data flow                                |
| **Lead Qualification**     | Engage and qualify leads through natural WhatsApp conversation — no forms needed                                |
| **E-commerce Assistants**  | Shopping bots with product search, cart management, and checkout — all inside WhatsApp                          |

## How It Works

Building a WhatsApp AI agent with CodeWords takes three simple steps:

**Step 1: Tell Cody what you want** Describe your WhatsApp bot in plain English. For example: *"I want a WhatsApp bot that answers customer questions from my FAQ document."*

**Step 2: Cody builds it for you** Cody — your AI coding agent — researches the best approach, writes the code, connects your tools, and deploys the bot. You can watch the entire process and give feedback along the way.

**Step 3: Choose your WhatsApp connection** Depending on the workflow, Cody either registers you to a shared CodeWords bot number for DMs or groups, or helps you connect your own WhatsApp number in the beta flow. Messages start flowing as soon as setup is complete.

**No coding required.** CodeWords is a no-code WhatsApp bot builder — Cody handles all the technical work. You just describe what you want in plain English.
