How Does it Work?

Citibot’s WhatsApp Chat works just like our core Text Chat solution—but through WhatsApp!

  1. Residents start a chat by messaging the agency’s dedicated WhatsApp number.

  2. The AI-powered chatbot responds instantly, answering questions, guiding users to resources, or collecting service requests.

  3. If needed, conversations are escalated to staff for follow-up at a later time—seamlessly and efficiently.

  4. All interactions are tracked and can connect with your existing workflows, CRMs, work management systems, and GIS data.

📱 Easy, accessible service—right in WhatsApp.
