Reps stay in WhatsApp
Reps don't have to learn a new app — they keep working in the tool they already use.
Digital Employee
WhatsApp-to-System Agent
WhatsApp text and voice notes turned into structured records.
What it is
What is the WhatsApp-to-System Agent?
The WhatsApp-to-System Agent is an OTRA digital employee designed for businesses that actually live on WhatsApp. It listens to a designated WhatsApp number, parses text and voice notes, extracts orders and customers, and creates draft records pending human approval — so the sales rep can keep selling and the system stays clean.
Capabilities
What it does.
- Process WhatsApp text and voice notes in Arabic and English
- Extract orders, customers, products, and amounts
- Create draft records in CRM, ERP, or sheets
- Ask for missing information when needed
- Human approval before commit
- Track which messages produced which records (audit trail)
How it works
A typical workflow.
- 01
A sales rep sends a WhatsApp message or voice note describing an order.
- 02
The agent transcribes voice, parses text, and extracts the order: customer, products, quantity, amount, terms.
- 03
If something is missing or ambiguous, the agent replies asking for clarification.
- 04
A draft record is created in the system of record.
- 05
The responsible manager reviews and approves the draft in one screen.
- 06
Once approved, the record is committed and a confirmation is sent back to the rep.
Who it's for
Best fit.
- WhatsApp-first MENA businesses
- Field sales reps logging on the go
- SMEs replacing manual data entry from chat
Benefits
Why teams adopt it.
Cleaner system of record
Orders end up structured in your ERP, CRM, or sheets, instead of buried in chat history.
Voice notes count
Voice notes — heavily used in MENA field sales — become structured records instead of audio lost in a thread.
Approval gate by default
Drafts go to a human before they hit the system, so a misheard quantity doesn't become a billing problem.
Honest about scope
What this digital employee does not do.
- It does not replace your CRM or ERP — it feeds them.
- It does not commit records without human approval (unless you explicitly lower that gate).
- It does not promise 100% extraction accuracy — it asks for clarification when uncertain.
FAQ
Common questions
01Does it support Arabic?
Yes. Arabic text and voice notes are core to this agent, designed specifically with MENA field sales in mind.
02Where do the records end up?
Wherever your business already keeps them: CRM, ERP, inventory system, or structured spreadsheets.
03What about ambiguous orders?
If quantity, product, or customer is unclear, the agent replies on WhatsApp asking the rep for clarification — instead of guessing.
04Does the rep need approval to send a message?
No. Reps continue working in WhatsApp as usual. Approval happens on the resulting record, not on the chat.
05How is voice handled?
Voice notes are transcribed (with Arabic support) and then parsed in the same way as text messages.
