WhatsApp auto-reply for freelancers
Client work doesn’t stop for your inbox. auto-reply.to answers the enquiries you whitelist in your tone, holds the thread while you’re heads-down, and flags the conversations worth your attention.

What usually goes wrong
- Enquiries arrive while you’re mid-project, and a slow reply loses the job.
- You answer the same five questions — rate, timeline, process, revisions, deposit — every week.
- Old client threads go cold simply because nobody followed up.
How to set it up
- 1
Load your rate card as stock answers
Put your day rate, typical timeline, and deposit terms in the knowledge base. The assistant quotes them verbatim instead of improvising numbers.
- 2
Whitelist enquiry threads only
Turn the AI on for new client chats and leave everything personal untouched. Nothing is auto-replied unless you switched that exact chat on.
- 3
Let it defer on anything unpriced
Custom scope, unusual deadlines, anything not in your knowledge base — it says it’ll check and come back rather than guessing.
- 4
Run a campaign over dormant clients
Describe your current offer and let a campaign grade past client chats hot, warm, or cold, with an opener drafted in your voice.
What a reply looks like
hey, are you free for a landing page in the next two weeks?
I’m booked through next week but could start the week after. Landing pages are usually a 5-day build — want me to send the scope and rate?
Illustrative example. Your assistant answers from the persona and stock answers you write.
