WhatsApp automation for interior designers and architects in India
"What do you charge per square foot?" arrives before the scope exists. Linkubit answers an interiors enquiry within a minute, asks what a proposal depends on — property, scope, style, budget, possession date — books the site measurement, sends the proposal when your designer has priced it, and follows up until the project signs.
Linkubit answers an interior design or architecture enquiry on WhatsApp within a minute, captures property type, carpet area, scope, budget range and possession date, refuses to state a per-square-foot figure until the scope is known and your rate card has priced it, books and reminds the site measurement, sends the proposal, and reminds the milestone payments. Portfolio pictures go out from your catalogue, for the style the client asked about.
Qualifies on
- Property — flat, villa, office, retail; carpet area
- Scope — full home, kitchen and wardrobes, one room, civil work
- Style and references, in the client's words
- Budget range, all-in
- Possession or handover date, and when work can start
- City and site address, for the measurement visit
None of this is hardcoded. It is a schema you edit, which is why a completely different business runs on the same system.
The brief before the number
No per-square-foot figure until the scope is on the record
A rule blocks the estimate until property, scope and budget are captured. What the assistant says before that is your rate card's range for that scope, with what it includes. The proposal itself waits for a designer.
- The block is a rule in code
- A quoted range is one you listed

Sales Agent
The portfolio, one picture at a time
A reference image goes with the style it names
Your projects are a catalogue with pictures and fields — style, scope, city, budget band. When a reply names one the client asked about, its picture goes with it, once. Never a gallery nobody asked for.
- One item per reply, only for a project it read
- Already-sent pictures are not sent twice

The measurement visit, owned by a person
The assistant proposes slots and writes the confirmation with the site address and who to meet; a designer confirms the slot, because a wasted drive across the city cannot be walked back.
Milestones and approvals in one thread
Design approval, advance, material, execution stages — each a message with the amount and a link, reminded once, matched when paid. The approved drawing is a PDF in the same thread.
Vendors and clients stay separate
A carpenter who messages your number is a different kind of contact from a client, and the assistant treats each by the rules you set — including when to hand a supplier straight to a person.
From enquiry to a signed project
What an interiors enquiry looks like when the first minute, the brief, the measurement and the proposal are handled, and a designer handles the design and the price.
Answered in a minute, brief started
"Doing up a 3BHK in Whitefield, possession in March" is answered with the studio's name and two questions — full home or partial, and a budget range. Both are on the record.
Qualified on what the proposal depends on
Carpet area, scope room by room, style references, start date. A reference picture the client sends stays in the thread for the designer. The rate card's range for that scope is stated with what it includes.
The measurement visit
Three times inside your hours; a designer confirms one; the confirmation carries the address and who is coming. Reminders the evening before and two hours ahead ask for a YES.
The proposal, with the number in the text
Scope, price, timeline, what is excluded, valid until a date. The presentation is attached; the client reads the message first.
Signed, then milestones
Design approval, advance, material, execution stages — each in the thread with the amount and a link, each reminded once. A client who goes quiet after the proposal is nudged twice, then left alone.
The templates a designer sends
Four WhatsApp message templates for interior designers and architects — enquiry received, site measurement booked, design proposal ready, and milestone payment due. Each is written the way Meta's review reads it.
| Template | Category | When it goes out |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry received | Utility | The moment a project enquiry arrives. |
| Site measurement booked | Utility | Once a designer has confirmed the visit time. |
| Design proposal ready | Utility | When the designer has priced the scope. |
| Milestone payment due | Utility | A few days before a milestone in the signed contract. |
Each template opens on its own page with the variables, a filled example and what Meta’s review objects to. Utility and authentication templates cost ₹0.115 a message in India, marketing ₹0.8631 — the pricing guide has the rest.
Questions designers ask
Will it quote a per-square-foot rate?
Only the range on your rate card for that scope, with what it includes, and only after property, scope and budget are captured. The proposal price comes from your designer.
Can it send our portfolio?
Your projects are a catalogue with pictures and fields. A reply that names a project the client asked about carries its picture, one per reply. It does not send a gallery.
Does it book the site measurement?
It proposes times inside your team's hours and writes the confirmation; a designer confirms the time. Two reminders ask for a YES; a no is offered the next times.
How are milestone payments handled?
Each milestone is a payment request at the proposal amount, sent in the thread with a link, reminded once before the date, and matched against your gateway when the client says 'paid'.
