Book test drives directly from a WhatsApp message — no calls, no visits

WhatsPortal runs a test drive booking bot on your dealership's WhatsApp number. A prospect messages you, picks a date and time, and gets a confirmed slot — before they change their mind or visit a competitor.

Car buyers do their research online. Their first contact with you will decide if they visit — or go elsewhere.

01

A prospect clicks your car ad at 8 PM, fills in an enquiry form, and waits for a call. Your team calls back next morning. The window of peak interest is gone.

02

Scheduling a test drive still requires a phone call — hold music, busy lines, back-and-forth about availability. Buyers expecting a digital-first experience give up and book elsewhere.

03

Your showroom sales team has no visibility into who has expressed interest in a test drive and who's been followed up. Leads fall between the cracks every week.

The solution

WhatsPortal automates the test drive booking on WhatsApp — from first enquiry to confirmed appointment.

Instant enquiry response

Connect your Meta Lead Ads to WhatsPortal. The moment a prospect submits an ad, they get a WhatsApp message within 60 seconds — model details, availability, and a link to book a test drive.

Automated booking bot

The bot presents available slots, collects the prospect's preferred date, time, and location (showroom/home test drive), and sends a confirmed booking — no human step needed.

FAQ

Common questions about automotive test drive scheduling

Can I offer both showroom and home test drive options through the bot?

Yes. The booking flow can present both options and route the prospect accordingly — showroom visits to your internal calendar, home test drives to your field team&apos;s queue.

What happens if a prospect wants to know about financing before booking?

You can add a branch in the flow that responds to financing questions with your standard EMI options or directs the prospect to your finance team. The bot handles the FAQ; your team handles the conversion.

Does this work for multiple showrooms?

Yes. You can set up separate flows or routing rules for each showroom location. Prospects pick their preferred branch and the booking goes to the right team.

What does WhatsPortal cost?

Free plan: ₹0, 100 messages/month. Standard: ₹1,199/month (5,000 messages). Premium: ₹2,499/month (unlimited). Billed in INR via Razorpay. Meta&apos;s API conversation charges are billed separately.
