Setting Up Conversation Handover and Continuity in WhatsApp

Seamless Conversation Handover on WhatsApp

In the matchmaking industry, client relationships can evolve, and there may be times when a client needs to switch matchmakers for various reasons. It’s crucial to maintain the continuity of conversation and context to ensure a smooth transition. This guide outlines the steps and best practices to set up a robust handover process using WhatsApp.

Understanding the Importance of Handover

A seamless conversation handover allows new matchmakers to quickly familiarize themselves with the client's history, preferences, and ongoing discussions.
