WhatsApp Flows are a Meta feature that lets businesses collect structured information through a proper form opened within a WhatsApp chat. Asking twelve questions one message at a time loses people at question four. A native flow opens a real form inside WhatsApp: fields, dropdowns, dates, and one submit.
Included in the platform licence. Not a paid add-on.
The short version
WhatsApp flows in brief
WhatsApp Flows built in WappBlaster, sometimes called mini apps or native flows, are forms of several screens that open inside the chat, letting a business on a WhatsApp marketing platform gather structured answers through text fields, dropdowns, date pickers and proper rating scales rather than asking people to reply 1 to 5. WappBlaster designs them visually and sends them from an approved template or from a bot flow. The concrete differentiator is live data: dropdown options can be loaded from your own API when the form opens, and conditional logic or calculations run between fields, so the next screen adapts to earlier answers. Submitted responses are saved as super fields in the CRM, ready for segmentation, or written into a Google Sheet. A long questionnaire spreads over several screens instead of arriving as one block. Typical uses are lead qualification, bookings, surveys and applications. For a two-question exchange, ordinary chat messages stay quicker than any form.
WhatsApp Flows are multi-screen forms that open inside a WhatsApp chat, with fields, dropdowns and dates, so users submit structured answers without a browser.
WappBlaster builds flows visually, sends them from a template or bot, fills dropdowns from your API and stores responses in the CRM or a Google Sheet.
Loan and insurance applications survive where one-question messages lose people.
Branch or slot lists come from current data, not hardcoding.
Order forms compute quantity and price inside the flow.
Category, urgency and location arrive in clean fields.
WhatsApp Flows, also called mini apps or native flows, are structured multi-screen forms that open inside a WhatsApp chat without sending the user to a browser. WappBlaster builds them visually, sends them from a template or a bot flow, applies conditional logic and calculations between fields, populates dropdowns dynamically from an API, and stores the submitted responses in the CRM or a Google Sheet.

Straight answers about WhatsApp flows.
They are forms that Meta builds into WhatsApp itself. Rather than answering a bot question by question, the customer opens a proper form with real input fields inside the chat, completes it and submits it in one go, without installing anything or leaving for a web page.
Link to this answerA chatbot converses, one message at a time. A mini app presents a form. Use a bot for a short branching conversation and a mini app when you need more than about four structured fields.
Link to this answerEach answer is saved on the contact’s CRM record as a field, and you can also send a copy to a Google Sheet. Since the data arrives as structured fields, segments and automations can use it straight away.
Link to this answerYes. When the customer opens the flow, WappBlaster calls your API and fills the dropdown with whatever it returns, so the choices match current availability instead of an outdated list.
