WhatsApp order updates that stop “where is my order?”
Confirmed, shipped and delivered — each status change sends a WhatsApp update with tracking, as a utility message at ₹0.115. When a customer replies with a question, it lands in your team inbox, not a void.
Every silent order becomes a support ticket.
Customers who don’t know where their order is ask — by phone, by DM, by email, sometimes all three. SMS updates get ignored and email lands late. A WhatsApp update arrives where they already are, and their reply arrives where your team can see it.
What order updates changes for your team.
Fewer “where is it?” questions
Customers see each status the moment it changes.
Cheap by design
Order updates are utility messages — about an eighth of a marketing message.
Replies go to people
A question about an order is assigned in the inbox with the order’s messages above it.
Step by step, as it runs.
Every step is something NudgeBolt does today. Start from this playbook, change the words and the waits, and test it on your own number first.

What it sends — and what each one costs.
Example templates for this playbook. The cost is Meta’s India rate for the category, billed to your own Meta account. NudgeBolt adds nothing.
Thanks {{1}}! Order #{{2}} is confirmed. We’ll message you here when it ships.
Order #{{1}} ship ho gaya 🚚 Track: {{2}}
Order #{{1}} has been delivered ✓ Reply here if anything’s not right.
How you’ll know it’s working.
- Order-status questions per week
- Replies to updates handled by your team
- Cost per order in update messages
Keep promotions out of updates
An offer inside a shipping update can make Meta treat it as marketing — and price it that way.
Invite the reply
“Reply here if anything’s off” turns a complaint into a conversation your team can fix.
