WhatsApp automation for solar installers and home improvement contractors
A solar enquiry is a homeowner with a bill in one hand and three quotes on the way. Linkubit answers within a minute, asks what a system depends on — monthly bill, roof type and area, property ownership, subsidy interest — books the survey, sends the proposal when your engineer has sized it, and follows up until it signs or says no.
Linkubit answers a solar or home-improvement enquiry on WhatsApp within a minute, captures bill, roof, property, city and timeline, refuses to state a system size or a price until a survey or your rate card has decided it, books and reminds the site visit, sends the proposal with the number in the text, and reminds the milestone payments. Every figure comes from your list or your engineer.
Qualifies on
- Monthly electricity bill, or units
- Roof — RCC, sheet, tiled; approximate area; shading
- Own the property, or a society decision
- City and pin code, for the survey team
- Timeline, and whether a subsidy application is wanted
- Budget range, with 'not sure' as an answer
None of this is hardcoded. It is a schema you edit, which is why a completely different business runs on the same system.
Sized by a survey, not by a chat
No kilowatt figure and no price before the survey
A rule blocks the estimate until bill, roof and ownership are captured, and the size itself waits for your engineer's visit. What the assistant says before that is what your rate card says — a per-kW range with its conditions.
- The block is a rule in code
- A quoted range is one you listed
quote_rates blocked — volume not captured yet
Sales Agent
The survey is the sale
Booked, confirmed with what to keep ready, reminded twice
The assistant proposes survey times inside your team's hours; a person confirms one; the confirmation carries the address you were given, the bill to keep handy and roof access. Reminders the evening before and two hours ahead ask for a YES; a no is offered the next times.
- A person owns the confirmation
- The survey lands on the pipeline with an outcome to record

Subsidy questions answered from your document
What the scheme covers, who is eligible and what it needs are answered from the document you loaded — and a question the document does not answer goes to a person rather than a guess.
Milestones, reminded with a link
Advance, material delivery, commissioning — each a payment request at the proposal amount, reminded once before the date and matched when the customer says 'paid'.
The same thread for the renovation next year
A customer who did a kitchen and asks about a bathroom is one contact with one history; the assistant knows what was done and quotes the next job from the same catalogue.
From bill to commissioning, on WhatsApp
What a solar enquiry looks like when the first minute, the survey, the proposal and the reminders are handled, and an engineer handles the sizing and the install.
The enquiry is answered and the bill captured
"How much for solar on a 2BHK?" is answered with two questions — the monthly bill, and roof type — and a per-kW range from your rate card with its conditions, once those two are known.
Qualified on what the system depends on
Roof area and shading, ownership or society, city, timeline, subsidy interest. Written onto the lead as the homeowner answers. A society decision is flagged so the right person is invited to the thread.
The survey, booked and reminded
Three times inside your team's hours, one confirmed by a person; the confirmation with what to keep ready; two reminders with a YES. A no-show is a reschedule, not a lost lead.
The proposal, with the number in the text
System size, price, subsidy line, payback estimate from your sheet, valid until a date. The PDF is attached; the customer reads the message.
Signed, paid in milestones, commissioned
The advance request, the material delivery date, the installation slot, the commissioning message with the net-meter step — each in the thread, each reminded once, each matched when paid.
The templates an installer sends
Four WhatsApp message templates for solar and home improvement — enquiry received, site survey booked, proposal ready, and installation scheduled. Each is written the way Meta's review reads it.
| Template | Category | When it goes out |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry received | Utility | The moment a rooftop or renovation enquiry arrives. |
| Site survey booked | Utility | Once a person has confirmed the survey time. |
| Proposal ready | Utility | When the engineer has sized the system and priced it. |
| Installation scheduled | Utility | When materials are delivered and the install date is fixed. |
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 installers ask
Can the AI size a solar system?
No, and it will not pretend to. It captures bill, roof and ownership, quotes the per-kW range on your rate card with its conditions, and books the survey. The size and the price come from your engineer's proposal.
What about subsidy questions?
Answered from the scheme document you loaded — eligibility, what it covers, what it needs. A question the document does not answer goes to a person, not to a guess.
Does it handle a renovation as well as solar?
The fields are yours to edit: room, area, finish and timeline for a kitchen or a bathroom instead of bill and roof. The survey, the proposal and the milestone payments run the same way.
Will it chase the milestone payments?
One reminder before each date with the amount and a link, matched against the gateway when the customer says 'paid', and a person brought in after the date rather than a fifth message.
