WhatsApp CRM with Multiple Agents: Sales and Support on One Number
Instant Broadcast is a WhatsApp CRM with multiple agents. Every salesperson and support agent gets their own login on one official WhatsApp Business API number, new chats are auto-assigned, and contacts, tags, notes and full conversation history stay in one place. Managers see every chat, and nothing gets lost when staff change. Try it free for 7 days.
Why Growing Teams Need a WhatsApp CRM with Multiple Agents
When a team of five or ten people handles customers on WhatsApp, the usual setup breaks down. One shared phone becomes a bottleneck. Separate personal numbers scatter your customers and chat history across devices you don't control. A multi-agent WhatsApp CRM gives you one brand number, many logins and clear ownership of every conversation.
Roles in a multi-agent setup
| Role | What they do in Instant Broadcast |
|---|---|
| Owner or manager | Sees all chats, assigns and transfers conversations, reviews response times and broadcast results |
| Sales agent | Handles assigned leads, sends quotes and catalogues, updates tags and notes |
| Support agent | Handles order, delivery and service questions, and escalates when needed |
| Chatbot | Replies first, collects details and routes the chat to the right agent |

How assignment works
- A customer messages your business number, from an ad, your website, IndiaMART or a broadcast reply.
- The chatbot greets them and asks what they need.
- Based on the answer, the chat is routed to sales or support and auto-assigned to the next available agent.
- The agent replies, adds notes and updates tags.
- If the agent is away, a manager reassigns the chat with one click and the history goes with it.
Benefits for growing teams
- Faster replies, because no chat waits for one phone.
- No double replies, because everyone can see who owns each chat.
- Accountability, because managers can see every conversation.
- Business continuity, because chats stay with your number when staff leave.
