WhatsApp Reminders

The reminder goes to the person who has to act, in the language they read.

The owner gets the payment. The munshi gets the filing. The driver gets the testing-station date. Each one on WhatsApp, in Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil or seven other languages, with buttons that update the task when they reply.

Role-based routing

Not everyone gets everything.

A reminder sent to everyone is a reminder nobody acts on. PRACHSO sends each item to the role that can close it, and copies the owner only when it matters. You set the roles once; change them per document type any time.

Escalates to the owner

Vehicle numbers, NH numbers and the word PUC stay in Latin script in every language, because that is how they are painted on the truck and printed on the certificate.

Schedule

Five touches per expiry, then the owner.

The defaults below suit most fleets. Every step is configurable per document type, and escalation to the owner fires when a task has had no action for 48 hours.

  1. Before expiry

    30 days

    First reminder

    Time to get quotes and book the slot.

  2. Before expiry

    15 days

    Second reminder

    Task still open? The assignee hears again.

  3. Before expiry

    7 days

    Urgent

    Marked urgent on the dispatch list.

  4. Before expiry

    1 day

    Last call

    Owner copied on every last-call message.

  5. After expiry

    Day after

    Lapsed

    Truck moved to Not fit to dispatch.

Escalation: no reply and no task update for 48 hours sends the item to the owner, with who it was waiting on and since when.

Reply buttons

One tap from the cabin closes the loop.

  • DoneTask moves to Awaiting proof. PRACHSO re-reads the registry until the new date appears.
  • Renewed, sending photoThe photo goes to the Document Vault, matched to the truck and document type.
  • Need helpThe munshi gets the task with the driver's number, so the call happens today.

Opt-in first, approved templates always.

Every recipient opts in before the first reminder, and every business-initiated message uses a template approved on the WhatsApp Business Platform. Anyone can opt out by replying STOP. No promotional messages are ever sent to your drivers.

SMS fallback

Where a number is not on WhatsApp, the same reminder goes by SMS with a reply link.

Drivers are free

Drivers are never counted as seats, on any plan.

Questions fleet owners ask

Routing, languages, opt-in and escalation.

Ask the team

Who decides which person gets which reminder?

You do, once, by role. The defaults: payment items such as insurance and NP authorisation go to the owner, filing items to the munshi, and items that need the truck present, such as PUC and fitness tests, go to the driver on that truck.

Are messages machine-translated?

No. Templates in all 10 launch languages are written by native speakers and approved as WhatsApp templates before they are used.

Do recipients have to opt in?

Yes. Every recipient opts in, and every business-initiated message uses a pre-approved WhatsApp template, as the WhatsApp Business Platform requires. Recipients can opt out at any time.

What if a driver does not use WhatsApp?

PRACHSO falls back to SMS for that number. The SMS carries the same date and a link to reply.

What happens when nobody acts?

If a task has no reply or update for 48 hours, the reminder escalates to the owner. The escalation window can be changed per document type.
