WhatsApp messaging

WhatsApp marketing for Padel clubs

A verified Business account, automated sequences, and consent handled for you.

The club group chat does not scale

Most clubs already reach their players on WhatsApp, and most do it by hand. Someone copies a message into a group, or forwards it to a list of numbers, and hopes the right people read it. Everyone gets the same message whether it applies to them or not, and the players who most needed to hear it are usually the ones who have already stopped paying attention.

Cuchilla Connect turns that into something targeted. Because the platform knows who played, when, and what they spent, a WhatsApp message can go to the forty players it is actually relevant to rather than to all two thousand. That is the difference between a channel your players value and one they mute.

What you can send

Open match alerts

A court frees up and the players most likely to take it hear about it straight away, while the slot can still be sold.

Win back messages

A player who has not booked in weeks gets a personal message instead of quietly disappearing from your club.

Tournament reminders

Sign ups and reminders go to the players who actually play tournaments, not to everyone on your list.

Birthday offers

An offer goes out on the day without anybody at the club having to remember whose birthday it is.

Verified sender

Messages come from a verified WhatsApp Business account, so your club shows up as your club and not an unknown number.

Consent handled

Opt in and opt out are managed across every channel, so a player who opts out stays opted out everywhere.

The WhatsApp Customer Agent

Most of what players message a club is the same handful of questions. What time can we play on Thursday, is there a court free tonight, is anyone still short a fourth. Those messages arrive at every hour, and someone has to answer them.

The Customer Agent picks them up on WhatsApp for you. It answers from the questions you have written yourself, and it can look at your live club data while it does, so the answer is about tonight rather than a generic reply. When it cannot help, it hands the conversation to your team.

I was double charged for last week, can you refund it?
That one needs a human. I have passed it to the club with your booking details.
Someone from the team will come by shortly.

Hands over to your team when it should

You stay in control of all of it

  • Answers from your own FAQ. You write the questions and answers your club actually gets. The assistant replies from those, not from guesswork.
  • Looks things up while it replies. It can check a booking, read the court schedule, and see which open matches still need a player.
  • Works the hours you set. Run it around the clock, or only outside staffed hours, with a schedule per day of the week.
  • Steps aside for your team. The moment someone from the club replies, it pauses that conversation and leaves it to the human.
  • Your tone, your language. Custom instructions and a language setting keep it sounding like your club rather than a generic bot.
  • Escalates when it should. Anything it cannot answer can be handed over, with an email to the club so nothing is left sitting.

Verified, and compliant by default

Cuchilla Connect is an approved Meta Business Partner. That means you can connect your own fully verified WhatsApp Business account straight into the platform, and send from it there, rather than having someone on your team message players from a personal phone.

All data is hosted in the EU, encrypted at rest and in transit, and covered by a Data Processing Agreement with every customer. Consent is managed across all channels, so a player who opts out of WhatsApp is out of WhatsApp everywhere, immediately. You own your player data and can export or delete it whenever you want.

WhatsApp is included from the Growth plan upwards.
