Spun lets tour operators and DMCs run their WhatsApp number, with every partner, guide and driver group it is already in, from one shared inbox. It runs on a flat monthly plan with team members free and a free trial, and it needs no Business API approval and no new number. AI recaps your groups each morning, and your own ChatGPT or Claude can read your chats and write reports through Spun MCP.

What gets in the way

Operations live in dozens of groups

Hotels, transport companies, guides and drivers each have a group, and nobody reads all of them.

A cancelled transfer surfaces too late

A supplier posts a change at 6am, and the coordinator finds it at noon.

Guides answer by voice note

Pick-up times arrive as voice notes nobody has time to play.

The owner cannot see who is answering

There is no simple way to know how fast the team replies in the groups.

How your team works it

1

Connect the operations number

Link the number that is already in your groups as a linked device. Its groups appear next to your traveller chats.

2

Bring in every coordinator

Each coordinator signs in with their own login. There are no per-seat fees; the plan itself is paid after the free trial.

3

Choose what to watch

Pick the groups for your morning recap and add AI monitors to the ones that matter most.

What Spun gives you

Partner, guide and driver groups

Every group your number is in sits next to your traveller chats, and you can export a group's member list. Spun sees only groups your number is a member of, with messages since you linked plus the history handed over at link. Members who hide their number stay hidden.

Digests and morning recaps

Ask a standing question across up to 25 chosen chats, such as which groups still need a pick-up time. The daily summary adds recaps of up to five groups you pick.

Staff and group activity

See each group's activity over 7 and 30 days and its top senders, and export activity to Google Sheets. A staff report per employee across your groups is part of advanced staff reporting on the larger plan; smaller plans show organisation totals or no staff report.

Your own ChatGPT or Claude

Spun MCP lets the AI account you already pay for read your chats, list your groups and write your reports. It runs in your own AI account, so what it reads goes to that AI provider. A manager picks the access level and can disconnect it at any time, and every send waits in AI Sends for a person to approve unless a manager turns on autonomous sending for that app with a typed confirmation. Media sends always wait, and smaller plans include a read allowance per billing period.

Auto-labels for new enquiries

AI auto-labelling and label rules sort new chats by trip or departure. AI labels are suggestions you can correct.

Alarms when a request waits

Alarm rules create a reminder when a traveller or partner has waited too long for a reply. Alarms notify your team; they do not reply for you.

What Spun does not do

  • It does not see groups your number is not a member of, or older messages beyond the history handed over when you linked.
  • Spun does not include a booking engine or connect to your reservation system. Copy details into your own system, or export activity to Google Sheets.
  • It does not use the WhatsApp Business API or its pre-approved message templates. It runs on your normal number, which is why it can see your groups.
  • It does not send AI messages without you deciding so. What Weave wants to send waits in AI Sends for a person to approve.

Frequently asked questions

How do I keep track of 50 partner groups on WhatsApp?

Connect the number that is already in those groups and Spun lists all of them next to your direct chats. Set a chat digest across up to 25 chosen chats or add group recaps to your morning summary.

Can I see how fast my guides and coordinators reply in our groups?

Yes, Weave's staff activity report shows messages sent, groups active and response times. Per-person comparisons are part of advanced staff reporting on the larger plan; smaller plans show organisation totals or no staff report.

Can I get one morning message with what happened in my groups?

Yes, the daily summary can include AI recaps of the last 24 hours in up to five groups you pick, plus your alarms and tasks.

Can AI flag problems in a supplier group, like a cancelled transfer?

Yes, an AI monitor can watch selected groups for the signals you describe and surface them.

Our guides send voice notes. Can I read them?

Yes, Spun can transcribe incoming voice notes to text for every chat or only the chats you pick. Transcription is automatic, so check anything critical such as a pick-up time.

Can ChatGPT or Claude read our WhatsApp and write reports?

Yes, Spun MCP connects your own ChatGPT or Claude account to your WhatsApp through Spun, so the AI can read chats and write reports. A manager chooses the access and can disconnect it at any time. What the AI reads goes to your AI provider.
