Common questions

Practical answers logistics teams ask before getting started.

Can Chatwoot integrate with our existing tracking system?

Yes. Your TMS or tracking platform pushes shipment data into Chatwoot through the REST API, or shows it beside the conversation with a Dashboard App, and outbound webhooks send Chatwoot events back to your systems. Captain Copilot then drafts replies from that context and your help center.

Can we send WhatsApp delivery updates automatically?

Automation rules in Chatwoot fire on Chatwoot events, not on your TMS, so the update starts on your side. Have your TMS call the Chatwoot API when a shipment is shipped, out for delivery, delivered or delayed, or send the batch as a WhatsApp or SMS campaign, which are available on Business and Enterprise plans.

How does Chatwoot handle peak volumes without losing quality?

Use automation rules to prioritize urgent issues, canned responses for common questions, and Captain Copilot to draft tracking replies. Teams and SLA policies are part of the Business and Enterprise plans.

Can we manage multiple warehouses or regions?

Yes. Create separate inboxes per warehouse, region, or delivery zone. Assign teams to each inbox and track performance with per-inbox reports.

Can we automate status updates without manual replies?

Your tracking system triggers the update by calling the Chatwoot API or by sending a campaign, since Chatwoot rules cannot watch an external system. Once the message goes out, your team only handles the replies and the exceptions.
