Automated Order Confirmations and Tracking via WhatsApp

"Where's my order?" is the number one customer support question for any business that ships products. It accounts for 30-40% of all support tickets. Every one of those tickets costs time, staff attention, and customer patience.

Automated WhatsApp order tracking eliminates most of these tickets by proactively updating customers at every stage. When customers already know where their order is, they don't need to ask.

The Order Communication Timeline

1. Order Confirmed (Immediate)

``` Order confirmed, {{name}}!

Order #{{order_id}} {{item_list}} Total: {{total}}

Estimated delivery: {{estimate}}

We'll update you here when it ships. ```

2. Order Shipped (When tracking is available)

``` Your order is on its way!

Order #{{order_id}} Carrier: {{carrier}} Tracking: {{tracking_number}}

3. Out for Delivery (Day of delivery)

``` Your order is out for delivery today!

Order #{{order_id}} Arriving by: {{time_window}}

Someone needs to be available to receive it. Not home? Reply NEIGHBOR or SAFE PLACE with instructions. ```
