Plumber WhatsApp Alerts for Emergency Callouts
Burst pipes, leaks, blocked drains — customers message multiple plumbers and book whoever replies first. Web2Phone sends your website enquiries to WhatsApp + email so you can respond fast, even when you’re on a job.
Customers don’t need WhatsApp — they fill out your normal website form. WhatsApp is for you (and your on-call team) to receive alerts instantly.
Free plan: 25 emails + 3 WhatsApp • Upgrade anytime • Cancel anytime
Why email is too slow for plumbing emergencies
Your website form works — but “email-only” delivery slows down your first response. When water’s causing damage, customers want a quick answer and an ETA.
Damage escalates fast
Every minute a leak continues, stress and costs go up. Customers want reassurance fast.
You’re not checking email constantly
You’re under a sink, in the van, or on-site. WhatsApp notifications are harder to miss.
Fast replies win
Customers contact multiple plumbers. The one who replies first often gets the booking.
The simple fix
Deliver form submissions to WhatsApp so you can reply in minutes — with email as a backup record.
