What is a WhatsApp bot for?
With the Tumodo bot, you can receive notifications about:
- services booked for your trip;
- trip approvals and advance reports;
- flight delays and cancellations, check-in desk and gate updates — with an active subscription to the flight.
Notifications are available to all active users with access to their Tumodo account.
How to enable WhatsApp notifications
- Log in to your Tumodo account
- Click on the additional menu icon
- Request a confirmation code (it will be send via WhatsApp to the phone number specified in your Tumodo account)
- Confirm the connection in WhatsApp to start receiving notifications.
You can turn notifications on and off by changing the position of the switch.
Trip approval via WhatsApp bot
After selecting travel services on the platform, the employee sends the trip for approval. The approver receives detailed information in WhatsApp and can approve or decline the trip directly in the chat.
The message will also include:
- travel policy violations;
- employee comments;
- a button that opens the trip.
If the trip is approved
Both the approver and the traveller receive a notification about the approval. Right from the message, you can open the trip page and continue arranging services.
If the trip is NOT approved
The approver must indicate the reason for the decline. The traveller receives a notification with a comment explaining what needs to be changed in the trip.
Trip service notifications
After booking a service, the traveller receives the ticket or voucher in WhatsApp. Once all services are arranged, the bot sends a Travel Plan. The Travel Plan is a summary of the business trip that contains all travel documents.
The bot can also send an .ics file. By opening it, you can add all travel services to your business calendar.
