Commercial Photography
How commercial photographers should automate WhatsApp
Agency producers change the brief on WhatsApp while email still shows the old SKU list. You need sign off on selects before retouching.
Capture the brief in chat. Client taps yes or no on selects.
How this works at your scale

Freelance shooter for brands. One thread per job.
Small team
Producer and retoucher share the inbox. Job reference noted in customer details for each agency contact.
Multi site or larger
Several crews and enterprise clients. Separate flows per client if usage rules differ.
