# Whatsapp Flows

#### Overview

WhatsApp Flows lets you build structured, interactive customer journeys. By defining and customizing messages with rich interactions—such as buttons, checklists, or menus—you can guide customers through a sequence of steps, collect information, and provide relevant options.

**Why Use Flows?**

* Provide a clear, guided experience for users
* Automate information collection (e.g., personal preferences, loan terms)
* Offer product recommendations or quotes
* Seamlessly transition from structured flows to free-form chat
