WhatsApp Flows is a Meta capability that let businesses build structured, interactive workflows directly inside WhatsApp conversations. They allow customers to complete actions such as browsing products, filling out forms, placing orders, or submitting feedback, all without leaving WhatsApp.

Types of WhatsApp Flows

Static Flows

Static Flows are designed for simple, one‑way interactions where no conditional logic or dynamic outcomes are needed. They work best for straightforward information collection and routine processes.

  • Use Cases: Lead generation, appointment scheduling, feedback surveys, registration forms.

  • Characteristics: Linear, predefined steps that are quick to set up and ideal for tasks that don’t require complex decision‑making.

Dynamic Flows

Dynamic Flows are more advanced, supporting conditional logic and multiple possible outcomes. They adapt in real time based on user responses, making them suitable for complex journeys.

  • Use Cases: Account management, sign‑in processes, product catalog browsing, financial subscriptions, customer support workflows.

  • Characteristics: Interactive, flexible, and capable of delivering personalized content. Dynamic Flows are ideal when conversations need to adjust to customer choices or preferences.
