What Comunicabox is and how we prepare your setup.
What is Comunicabox?
It is a managed service connecting telephony, WhatsApp and, when included, AI agents. It does not necessarily replace your tools: it adds routing, messages and tracking around them.
What information do I need to get started?
Your current number, operator, opening hours, call destinations, messages to send and who should receive each alert. We never disconnect a line or account without checking the full journey first.
What does setup involve?
We analyse the case, configure the flow, run a real test with you and only then agree activation.
Number and portability
Keep, port or start with a new number.
Can I keep my current number?
Yes. We assess whether to keep it with your operator, port it or connect it through a hybrid solution. The recommendation depends on the line and the behaviour you want to retain.
When is it best to port the number?
When you want to centralise telephony in Comunicabox and the change does not put associated services at risk. Before porting, we confirm the owner, number, operator and change window.
Can I start with a new number?
Yes. It is the most direct option for pilots, campaigns or new departments and avoids changing the main number while the service is validated.
Calls and telephone system
Opening hours, menus, extensions and continuity.
What happens if WhatsApp fails during a call?
The call must continue. Comunicabox is designed so a messaging error does not drop or block the telephone conversation.
Can I have opening hours and several extensions?
Yes. The telephone system plan supports opening hours, announcements, options and up to three extensions in its standard setup.
Can calls be recorded?
It can be configured when appropriate, always with the required notice and after defining the purpose, access and retention of recordings.
App, messages, templates and delivery.
Will I keep using WhatsApp Business on my phone?
Yes, when the number and account support coexistence. We verify this before making changes; do not delete the account or uninstall the app yourself.
What happens when the caller presses 1?
The call creates an authorised request, Comunicabox prepares the configured message and WhatsApp delivers the link or information while the call continues.
Does sent mean delivered?
Not always. The system distinguishes accepted, sent, delivered, read and failed messages so each case can be diagnosed.
AI and automations
Responses, boundaries and human handover.
Are telephone AI and WhatsApp AI the same?
No. They are different agents: one talks by voice and the other replies in writing. They are configured and measured separately.
When does a person step in?
When the query falls outside approved knowledge, the customer asks for it or a business rule requires human review. The destination and schedule are agreed during setup.
Can AI answer anything?
It should not. It is limited to approved information, specific actions and business rules. Uncertain cases are handed over or left as an alert for the team.
Credits and billing
What the subscription includes and how usage is measured.
How do credits work?
Currently, an incoming message uses 0 credits; an outgoing chat reply, 1; a service template, 2; and a marketing template, 4.
Can I buy additional credits?
The current catalogue includes a pack of 2,000 credits for €30, with no expiry. This will be confirmed in the proposal before purchase.
What may be charged separately?
Depending on the case: setup, hardware, porting, additional AI minutes or extra credits. Comunicabox must detail this before activating the service.
Incidents
What to check and what information to send support.
The call works, but WhatsApp does not arrive
Do not change the line. Note the approximate time, option selected and last four digits of the destination number. Support will check the event, template and delivery status.
The call drops when an option is selected
This is a priority incident because telephony must continue. Provide the time, destination number and journey followed so the call can be located.
I received the same message twice
Report it with the time and message type. Each event should produce one delivery, and support will review traceability and duplicate protection.
Privacy and security
Consent, data and traceability.
What data should be requested over WhatsApp?
Only what is needed for the requested action. In healthcare, legal advice or other sensitive areas, collect administrative data and hand sensitive content to a person.
How is consent managed?
The context must be clear: a request during a call, a user-initiated conversation or demonstrable marketing consent. Marketing and service are handled differently.
What information does support use?
Technical identifiers, time, event status and the minimum customer data. Logs should not show the full phone number when it is not needed.
