"What do I send you?"
Your itinerary PDF and your FAQ. We set the trip up and test it with you, usually within a working day.
"Do my travellers need an app?"
No. They open one link in the browser and connect WhatsApp. The app is there if they want it.
"Whose WhatsApp number is it?"
Ours. It introduces itself as the assistant for your trip, by your agency, and only talks about your trip.
"What if it gets something wrong?"
It answers from your documents. When they don't cover something, it says so and sends the traveller to you. After the trip you get every question and every answer.
"Is the first trip really free?"
Yes, for up to 40 travellers. We don't ask for a card.
"Is our data safe?"
Your documents are used only to answer your travellers. How we handle it
Your first trip is free.Then $3 a traveller, per trip. No monthly bill.
