How to do it

  1. 01

    Write the hours you can keep

    Note when you are closed and the only promise you will make, such as a reply on the next open day. Do not promise a delivery time you cannot check.

  2. 02

    Ask for a short draft

    Paste that note into ChatGPT. Ask for one away message under 300 characters and two quick replies: we are closed, and we will check tomorrow. Tell it not to invent prices or stock.

  3. 03

    Read it out loud

    Delete any sentence you would not say at the counter. If a line promises a refund or a reservation, remove it.

  4. 04

    Save it and test it

    In the WhatsApp Business app, set the away message and save the quick replies. Send yourself a test from another phone before you rely on it.
