At a glance

Idle's WhatsApp Agent is a 24/7 AI receptionist that talks like your team. It answers questions, books, reschedules and cancels, and sends reminders and win-back messages. You set the tone of voice and a monthly budget cap, and run promos, loyalty and memberships from the same place, so every enquiry turns into a booking and every client hears from you at the right moment.

A receptionist on WhatsApp, around the clock.

The WhatsApp Agent answers client queries and books, reschedules and cancels appointments any hour of the day. It speaks in your brand voice, so clients feel like they are messaging your front desk, and you set a monthly budget cap so it never overspends on your behalf.

Answers and books on chat

Clients message you the way they already do, and the agent replies, books, reschedules or cancels without anyone at the desk.

Your tone, your budget cap

Set how it speaks and a monthly spend limit, so it sounds like your team and never runs over what you decide.

Reminders that send themselves.

Idle sends the messages your team always means to send and never quite gets to: reminders for upcoming appointments, nudges before a package expires, and a warm 'we miss you' to clients who have drifted. You pick the schedule once and they run on their own.

Upcoming-appointment reminders

Every client gets a reminder before their visit on the schedule you choose, so no-shows fall and chairs stay full.

Expiring packages and win-back

Idle flags packages about to lapse and reaches out to clients who have not been back, automatically.

The follow-ups that quietly cost you clients.

Messages pile up after hours

Enquiries land once you have closed for the day, and by the time someone replies in the morning the client has booked elsewhere.

Reminders sent by hand

Someone has to remember to text every client before every visit, and the one that gets missed is the no-show that empties a chair.

No easy way to win clients back

Regulars drift away without anyone noticing, and there is no simple way to reach the ones who used to come in every month.

Promos, loyalty and your best clients.

Run promos and campaigns from the same screen, and segment your best clients so your spend goes to the people most likely to return rather than everyone at once. Gift cards, memberships and loyalty points all live in one place, working together to keep clients coming back.

Campaigns, segmented to convert

Target by spend, visit frequency or how recently they came in, so a promo reaches the right clients and keeps costs down.

Gift cards, memberships, loyalty

Sell gift cards and memberships and award loyalty points from the same place you run everything else.

Everything in your WhatsApp Agent and marketing

A 24/7 AI receptionist, automated reminders, and your promos and loyalty in one place, with deeper customisation whenever you want it.

WhatsApp Agent & marketing FAQ

What can the WhatsApp Agent do for my salon?

It is a 24/7 AI receptionist on WhatsApp. It answers client questions, books appointments, reschedules and cancels, and handles your reminders and win-back messages. It talks like your team and works around the clock, so an enquiry at midnight still turns into a confirmed booking by morning.

Do I control the tone and how much it spends?

Yes. You set the tone of voice so the agent sounds like your brand, and you set a monthly budget cap so it never overspends. You stay in control of how it talks to clients and how much it costs you every month.

Can it send reminders automatically?

Yes. Idle sends automated reminders for upcoming appointments, expiring packages, and lapsed clients you want to win back, on whatever schedule you choose. Your team stops sending them by hand and nobody slips through.

Can I run promos and loyalty from the same place?

Yes. You run promos and campaigns, gift cards, memberships, and loyalty points from the same screen, and you can segment your best clients so you spend on the people most likely to come back rather than blasting everyone.
