Why Stitch
The benefits of using Stitch for WhatsApp on Autotrader.
Centralisation first. Automation is the jam on top, but it only works once every chat lives on the record.
Every WhatsApp chat inside Autotrader
Conversations are stitched to the right dealership record automatically, no copy-paste, no screenshots, no “which phone is that on?”.
One shared team inbox
Your whole team sees the same threads. Assign, @mention and hand over without ever leaving Autotrader.
Nothing lost when staff leave
WhatsApp numbers belong to the business, not personal phones. When a colleague moves on, their history and contacts stay in Autotrader.
Two-way sync, in real time
New WhatsApp contacts create records in Autotrader; replies update the timeline instantly. Templates, media and read receipts included.
AI + automation on top
Once the channel is centralised, layer on lead qualification, out-of-hours replies and portal-to-WhatsApp journeys, all logged back to Autotrader.
Meta Business Partner grade
