    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does TicketBuddy work with WhatsApp?
    Yes. TicketBuddy integrates directly with WhatsApp Business API and Facebook / Instagram Messenger, so your customers reach you on the channels they already use.
    Can it actually send quotes automatically?
    Yes. You set your pricing rules and job categories. When a customer describes their job, TicketBuddy asks qualifying questions then generates and sends a quote based on your rates — no manual input needed.
    What trades does it work for?
    Any trade business where customers send enquiries by message. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC engineers, landscapers, roofers, painters, carpenters, cleaners — if customers message you for jobs, TicketBuddy can help.
    What if a customer asks something complex?

    How do I set up my pricing?
    You provide your pricing structure (call-out charge, hourly rate, job types and flat rates). TicketBuddy uses this to generate quotes. You can update your pricing at any time.

    Yes. TicketBuddy can check your availability and let customers book job slots directly from the chat conversation, syncing with your calendar automatically.
