WhatsApp automation · Taxi firms The engine is live right now

WhatsApp messages your passengers. Automatically.

The moment a job is booked, WhatsApp takes over. Confirmed, reminded the night before, told the driver is on the way with the car and reg, and asked for the Google review right after drop-off. All automatic, from your number, in your own words.

The whole journey

One booking. Five messages. Zero calls to the office.

Here is exactly what your passenger sees, from booking to review. Every message fires on its own, triggered by your dispatch system or diary. And every single one is customisable, word for word, so it sounds like your firm.

The ⚡ labels are part of this demo, not the message. Your passengers just see a normal WhatsApp, and every message is reworded to sound like your firm.
01

The booking lands

A job goes in your dispatch system or diary. Within seconds the passenger gets a confirmation with the time, pickup and destination. No callback, no "did they actually book me" doubt.

02

The night-before reminder

Early airport runs get a reminder the evening before. The passenger is packed and ready, nobody oversleeps, and your 4am no-show fare problem quietly disappears.

Evening before early jobs
03

Driver on the way

Name, car and reg plate, sent as the driver sets off. The passenger knows exactly what to look for, and your office phone stops ringing with "where's my taxi?"

Missed calls text themselves back

Friday night, every line busy, someone rings out. Within seconds they get a message asking where they are and where they're going. That fare stays yours instead of going to the next number on Google.

The review request

After drop-off, happy passengers get asked for a Google review while the good ride is still fresh. Do that on every job, every day, and no firm in town can catch you.

Shortly after drop-off
The part that compounds

Local firms beat the apps on reviews.

When someone searches "taxi near me", the firm with hundreds of recent Google reviews gets the call. Most firms never ask. This asks every passenger, after every ride, relentlessly.

New Google reviews in 9 weeks, about one a day
What this exact engine did for the skin clinic it already runs on, from 354 automatic requests. Roughly 1 in 6 people asked said yes.
200+
Jobs a week is 200+ chances to be asked
A busy firm carries more passengers in a week than that clinic sees in two months. Same ask rate on your volume compounds fast.

Yours, not a template

Your words. Your steps. As many as you want.

Every single message is customisable. The wording, the timing, the tone, what it includes and what it never says: all specific to your firm. Change any of it whenever you like, add as many steps as you want. All included, nothing is an upsell.

FAQ

The honest answers.

Does it work with my dispatch system? +
Yes. The big dispatch systems like Autocab and iCabbi have proper connections, and if you run on a simpler setup, a booking diary, or even phone-and-paper, we can trigger the messages from that too. Making it fit your operation is my problem to solve, not yours.
Do my passengers need anything installed? +
No. They get a normal WhatsApp message from your number, in the app they already use every day. No app to download, no account to create. That is exactly why it beats an app nobody installs: open rates on WhatsApp are far higher than anything else.
Can they reply, or is it a robot? +
They can reply, and it lands with your office like any other message. The automation handles the predictable messages so your operators do not have to, but a real person is always one reply away. Nobody gets trapped talking to a machine.
What happens if WhatsApp disconnects? +
This is the bit most setups get wrong. A watchdog checks the channel around the clock. If it drops, it alerts and re-pairs, rather than silently sending nothing for a fortnight. There is also an email fallback so the message still gets through.
Why a monthly fee? +
Because it is a live service, not a one-off file. The £59 pays for the hosting it runs on, the monitoring that keeps it alive, the message log, and me making changes when your prices, area or wording change. No retainer, no minimum term, cancel whenever.

Or just message me.

Fitting for the irony, the fastest way to ask about WhatsApp automation is on WhatsApp. It lands with Jamie, the person who builds and runs it.
