WhatsApp welcome message generator
Type your business name, pick an industry and tone, and copy 3 ready messages: short greeting, numbered menu, and after-hours reply.
Generated messages
Type your business name to generate the 3 messages.
Why the first message matters
Your welcome message sets the first impression and decides how many customers keep the conversation going. A good greeting answers three things at once: where the customer landed, what they can do here, and when they will get a reply.
The 3 formats this tool generates
- Short greeting — for businesses that reply fast and want to sound approachable.
- Numbered reply menu — cuts back-and-forth; ideal when most queries repeat.
- After-hours reply — keeps expectations clear and customers patient.
Good practice
- Use your real business name; generic messages lower trust.
- If you include opening hours, keep them current — wrong hours are worse than none.
- Go easy on emojis: 1–3 per message.
- WhatsApp Business lets you set these in Business tools → Greeting message / Away message.
The step after a fixed message
A welcome message is static: it greets, but it cannot answer. An agent like Andy answers the customer's actual question — prices, stock, opening hours — right inside WhatsApp, Instagram, or your website.

FAQ
Where do I set this up in WhatsApp Business?
In the app: Business tools → Greeting message (or Away message). Paste the generated text and switch it on.
Does the generator store my data?
Everything runs in your browser. We do not store your business name or opening hours.
Does this work with the WhatsApp Business API?
As base copy, yes — but proactive API messages use Meta-approved templates. Inside the customer service window you can send free-form text.
Why would I need a chatbot if I have a welcome message?
A fixed message only greets. An AI agent answers the real question (price, stock, booking) instantly, at any hour.
