Smart Reply to Original Chat After Forwarding
š Current workflow
In our daily operation, we often receive customer inquiries in one WhatsApp group.
When a message is about a specific hotel or department, we forward that message to another internal group that handles that topic.
The internal team then replies to the forwarded message in their group ā however, thereās currently no direct or automated way to send that reply back to the original customer or group where the question came from.
š” Suggested improvement
When someone replies to a forwarded message, the system should automatically identify the original chat or group where the message came from, and then provide two possible actions:
Automatic Reply Option:
The reply in the internal group is automatically sent back to the original customerās message (in their group).Manual Shortcut Option:
A quick-action button appears such as āReply to Original Chatā, allowing the agent to manually confirm and send the same reply to the source chat.
āļø Benefits
Saves a lot of time and avoids confusion between multiple groups.
Keeps communication threads consistent and traceable.
Prevents the need to manually copy/paste responses between groups.
This feature would be a major improvement for users who handle a high number of customer groups or team chats simultaneously.

Hi @Aston Abdou,This is not possible currently because when a message is forwarded to a different chat on WA - there is no reference or link to the original message/chat.
