Best Practices for WhatsApp Forms – mark360.ai

Elevate your WhatsApp Forms by following proven UI/UX principles that ensure clarity, efficiency, and a delightful customer experience.

This guide covers everything from CTA design and capitalization standards to error handling and flow clarity — all critical for building high-conversion WhatsApp Forms on mark360.ai.

Call-to-Actions (CTAs)​

  • Use action-driven CTAs to guide users clearly.
  • Example: "Confirm booking" instead of vague terms like "Submit".

Capitalization​

  • Follow sentence case for:
    • Screen titles
    • Headings
    • CTA buttons
  • This creates a clean, consistent interface.

Emojis in Context​

  • Use emojis only when they add value.
  • Ensure they align with your brand tone and are contextually appropriate.

Error Handling​

  • Communicate errors clearly and immediately.
  • Include validation rules (e.g., "Password must be 8 characters").
  • Offer steps for resolution (e.g., “Re-enter with a stronger password”).

Diverging Flows​

  • Limit sub-flows (e.g., Forgot Password) to a maximum of 3 screens.
  • Always redirect users back to the main flow for continuity.

Flow Simplicity​

  • Keep the form completion time under 5 minutes.
  • Each screen should cover one task only to reduce cognitive load.

Form Component Quality​

  • Use correct components for correct inputs:
    • Date Picker → Booking Dates
    • Radio Buttons → Single-choice questions
    • Checkboxes → Multiple selections

Formatting Precision​

  • Format content for clarity:
    • ₹ or $ for currency
    • Valid date and phone formats
    • Proper text spacing

Grammar and Spelling​

  • Maintain correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
  • Ensure all fields use consistent capitalization.

Helper Text Guidance​

  • Use helper text to clarify input fields.
  • Examples:
    • Phone number format: +91XXXXXXXXXX
    • Date format: DD/MM/YYYY

Initiation Flow Clarity​

  • Start with a clear message that sets expectations.
  • The CTA should directly align with the intro message.

Login Screens​

  • Use only when necessary.
  • Place them strategically to avoid drop-offs.
  • Communicate why login is needed.
  • Use time estimates (e.g., "Takes 2 minutes").
  • Title each screen for progress tracking.
  • End with a clear summary of the user's actions.

Opt-in Transparency​

  • Be clear about what users are consenting to.
  • Add a “Read More” CTA for Terms & Conditions.

Options and Lists Simplicity​

  • Limit options per screen to max 10.
  • Choose input type based on use case:
    • Dropdowns → 8+ options
    • Radio Buttons → One choice
    • Checkboxes → Multiple selections

Termination Flow Reassurance​

  • Provide a summary of user actions at the end.
  • Reassure the user and explain what happens next.

Trust and Support​

  • Include your business logo in the footer.
  • Offer a support CTA like “Need Help?” or “Talk to Us”.

Writing Content Efficiently​

  • Follow this structure:
    • Heading → Introduce the topic
    • Body → Give details
    • Caption → Add disclaimers/help tips
  • Avoid unnecessary repetition. Keep communication clear and concise.
