WhatsApp chatbot for businesses in the UAE

Arabic and English replies

Write each message in your customers' language, or offer a language choice in the first message.

Handover to a person

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a developer to build a WhatsApp chatbot?

No. The flow builder is drag and drop: add messages, buttons, questions and conditions, connect them, and switch the bot on for your number.

Can the chatbot reply in Arabic?

Yes. You write every message and button in Arabic, English or both, and can start by asking the customer which language they prefer.

How much does a WhatsApp chatbot cost in the UAE?

RichAutomate charges AED 0.0073 per message and AED 0.0147 per 24-hour conversation window, plus your monthly plan. Meta's own charges, if any, are billed to your card at cost. See the AED pricing page for the full breakdown.

What happens when the bot does not understand a question?

You add a fallback path that sends a clarifying message or hands the chat straight to a person in the shared inbox, so no customer is left without a reply.

Can the bot collect customer details?

Yes, through questions inside the chat or WhatsApp Flows forms that open inside WhatsApp, and the answers are saved to the contact.
