Migrating WhatsApp data: from chat archive to usable business data
Many businesses have accumulated valuable customer history in WhatsApp. The key step is not the export itself, but structure, matching, privacy and the intended downstream use.
Phone numbers, names, company links and existing CRM data are used to match conversations to the right contact. Uncertain matches should be reviewed separately.
Images, PDFs and voice notes often contain as much context as text. Good migrations preserve the relationship between messages and attachments.
Semantic search, summarization, lead detection and knowledge extraction become useful only after data, permissions and matching are reliable.
