## How automation works for internet service providers

Papo turns WhatsApp into a complete subscriber relationship channel. The operation relies on three pillars: artificial intelligence for support, automatic visit scheduling and proactive billing and maintenance communication.

1. **AI-powered technical support** – Super Chat, powered by the Prompt & AI module, is trained with subscribers' most common questions (such as "my internet is slow", "I forgot my Wi-Fi password" or "how do I configure the router"). The AI responds in seconds, guides basic procedures and, when necessary, escalates to a human agent or automatically opens a ticket.
2. **Visit scheduling** – When a customer needs a technical visit, the AI checks availability configured in the Appointments module and offers open time slots. After confirmation, the appointment is created in the technician's Google Calendar, and automatic reminders are sent via WhatsApp to reduce no-shows.
3. **Sending invoices and notices** – With the Flows and Disparador modules, the provider schedules the sending of template messages (HSM) approved by Meta. It is possible to send due date reminders, second copies of invoices and scheduled maintenance announcements, always respecting the customer's opt-in.
4. **Integration with external systems** – Using webhooks, Papo can receive events from the billing or subscriber management system (such as invoice generation) and automatically start a message flow, without manual intervention.

## Step-by-step to set up your ISP operation in Papo

| Step | Action | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **1. Connect official WhatsApp** | Add a WhatsApp Cloud API inbox | It is the foundation for all automatic messages and human service. Papo manages the connection to Meta's official API. |
| **2. Train the AI** | In the Prompt & AI module, register frequently asked questions and appropriate answers | Teach the AI to handle requests such as "change plan", "second copy of invoice" or "schedule technician". The more context, the more accurate the response. |
| **3. Configure services and calendar** | In the Appointments module, register visit types (installation, repair, address change) and available technicians | Define the duration of each service and working hours. Connect Google Calendar to sync appointments in real time. |
| **4. Create message templates (HSM)** | In the Disparador or Flows module, request template approval on WhatsApp | Examples: "Hello, {{nome}}, your invoice is due in 3 days. Access the 2nd copy: {{link}}" or "We inform you that there will be network maintenance on {{data}} from {{hora_inicio}} to {{hora_fim}}." |
| **5. Build automation flows** | In the Flows module, design triggers and actions | A flow can be started by a webhook from the billing system (invoice generated) or by a scheduled date. The action sends the HSM and records the send in the contact history. |
| **6. Use Disparador for mass announcements** | Select the contact list (with opt-in) and schedule the send | Ideal for maintenance notices that affect an entire region. The system requires confirmation that the list is not purchased and that the messages are not spam. |

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the AI solve technical problems such as "slow internet"?

Yes. Super Chat can guide the customer to check the connection, restart the router or test the speed. If the problem persists, the AI escalates to a human agent or automatically opens a ticket, keeping the entire history in the conversation.

### How do customers schedule a technical visit via WhatsApp?

The customer sends a message such as "I need a technician". The AI checks availability in the Appointments module, offers open time slots and confirms the appointment. The event is created in the designated technician's Google Calendar, and a reminder is sent before the visit.

### Is it possible to send the second copy of the invoice automatically?

Yes. With an automation flow, the customer can request "2nd copy" and receive the invoice immediately. It is also possible to schedule proactive reminders before the due date, using billing system triggers via webhooks.

### Do I need authorization to send billing messages and notices?

Yes. All proactive communication via WhatsApp requires that the customer has consented (opt-in) to receive messages from the company. Papo reinforces this requirement in the confirmations before any send, helping the provider keep the account compliant with Meta's policies.

### Can I integrate Papo with my subscriber management system?

Yes. Using webhooks, it is possible to connect external systems so that events such as invoice generation or ticket opening automatically trigger message flows in Papo. Technical details about the integration are available in the platform documentation.
