Product Release: Native WhatsApp Flows Studio for In-Chat Lead Capture & KYC
An in-depth product release guide announcing CapEngage WhatsApp Flows Studio: a visual drag-and-drop designer for building rich, multi-screen interactive forms natively inside WhatsApp.
High-Level Overview & Strategic Impact
Requiring WhatsApp users to click external web links to fill out insurance forms, book consultations, or submit KYC documents causes a massive 65%+ conversion drop-off. Today, we are excited to release the CapEngage WhatsApp Flows Studio: a native visual designer for Meta WhatsApp Flows. Businesses can now build rich, multi-screen interactive forms—complete with date pickers, dropdown selects, text inputs, radio groups, and dynamic field validation—that open natively inside WhatsApp in under 300ms with end-to-end RSA-2048 encryption.
