Reach citizens reliably with service updates, public notices, and appointment scheduling — through the messaging app the public already uses every day.
Public sector communication has a unique challenge: it needs to reach a large, diverse population reliably, without relying on residents to check a website or open an official app they may not have installed. WhatsApp is used daily by the vast majority of mobile phone users, making it one of the most dependable channels available for agencies to reach citizens directly and at scale.
The everyday friction that slows businesses like yours down.
When a utility outage or service disruption hits, call centres are flooded with residents asking the same question, tying up staff who could handle genuine emergencies.
Citizens forget scheduled appointments for renewals or applications, and busy counters have no reliable way to remind them ahead of time.
Once a complaint or application is filed, citizens have no way to check progress without an in-person visit or a phone call to an already-stretched office.
Real workflows Growby customers run every day.
Broadcast notices about water, power, or service disruptions to residents in an affected zone, including expected restoration timelines, reducing helpline call volume during outages.
Allow citizens to request or confirm appointments for services such as license renewals or certificate applications, with automated reminders that reduce no-shows.
Send automatic status updates once a citizen's grievance or application is logged, and allow them to check progress directly in the chat instead of visiting in person.
Distribute public health advisories, safety notices, or civic awareness messages to residents segmented by ward, district, or service area.
Notify applicants automatically when a certificate, license, or permit is ready for collection, cutting down on repeated in-person status checks.
Push urgent, time-critical alerts — weather warnings, evacuation notices, public safety advisories — to a defined geographic area within minutes.
Designated officers manage citizen conversations from one shared inbox, with full visibility into which queries are pending and who is handling them.
