How It Works
- Teams use WhatsApp – a platform everyone already uses – to receive task assignments, updates, and reminders.
- TaskOPad and other platforms connect through bots to forward messages or notifications directly into WhatsApp, eliminating the need to open another app
Key Benefits
- Instant attention: Unlike email, WhatsApp notifications are real‑time and hard to miss
- Familiar interface: Team members are comfortable using WhatsApp, lowering training barriers and increasing engagement
- Flexible context: Send text, voice, photos; add personalized notes; forward group messages into tasks
- Cost-effective: Leverages a free platform—no extra app licenses needed
