Commenting on the development, Prashant Pitti, Whole-time Director, EaseMyTrip said, “As a part of our customer-centric approach, we have collaborated with Whatsapp-for-Business to come up with a technology solution in the form of EaseMyTrip Bot. This is especially convenient for customers who are on the move and short on time to explore multiple platforms in search of lowest fares & best deals.”
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has revealed that it will take legal action against those businesses who are engaged in automated or bulk Messaging to the users. The company will sue individual or businesses who are abusing the instant messaging platform with bulk messages. The company has revealed that sending bulk messages is a violation of its Terms and Conditions.
To recall, the company introduced WhatsApp Business in 2018 for its Android smartphone users. The app was designed to help businesses to get in touch with their customers. However, multiple businesses are using this to abuse customers with a bombardment of bulk messaging or automated messages.
