orca.floTurn Riyadh WhatsApp enquiries into qualified leads and booked appointments.
Short answer
OrcaFlo answers Riyadh customers on WhatsApp in seconds, in Arabic or English, qualifies each lead, books the consultation, viewing or test drive and alerts your team when a person is needed (October 2026). A clinic with 350 chats a month, about 8 messages each, pays around $98.99 (about SAR 371) on Starter, plus the payment processing fee.
Updated
Riyadh is the capital and the Kingdom’s largest city, with about 6.9 million residents in the 2022 census, and much of its business is sold one appointment at a time: a consultation, a viewing, a test drive, a placement test, a call with sales. The first contact is often a WhatsApp message sent after office hours. OrcaFlo answers it in seconds, asks the questions your team would ask, and books the next step while the customer is still interested.
Why it fits Riyadh
A market of appointments
Clinics, real estate offices, car showrooms and training centres sell the next step, not the product. It books that step in the same conversation.
B2B enquiries need qualifying
Company, need, team size, timeline: it collects what your sales team asks for and passes it on with the conversation, so the first call starts from the facts.
Sunday-to-Thursday offices, seven-day customers
Your office closes for the Friday–Saturday weekend; your customers keep messaging. It answers every day and books into your next working day.
Evening enquiries
In Saudi Arabia the peak hours of internet use are 9 to 11pm (CST, 2024). A lead who asks at 10pm gets an answer at 10pm, not the next morning.

What it does for a Riyadh business
Qualifies before you call
Asks budget, area, model, course level or company size (whatever you define) and scores each lead hot, warm or cold.
Books consultations, viewings and test drives
Offers open times in your working hours. Connect Google Calendar and it only offers times you’re free; on Calendly, it shares your Calendly link.
Keeps your CRM current
Every chat becomes a lead with a stage. HubSpot and Zoho CRM connections are live, Google Sheets can get a row per lead, and Salesforce is coming soon (connect your CRM).
Opens the chat with form leads
A lead from your website or an ad form can be passed to OrcaFlo through Zapier, Make, n8n or the API (how to connect them); the assistant then writes the first WhatsApp message, paced and within business hours.
Hands hot leads to sales
A serious buyer, a request for a formal quote or a negotiation goes to your team with the whole conversation and an alert, and the assistant steps back for that customer until you hand the chat back, or for 7 days at most.
Follows up when they go quiet
Timed follow-ups check back with people who asked for a price or a viewing and then stopped replying, and stop as soon as they answer.
What a month costs for Riyadh businesses
| Business | Chats a month | Messages a month | Starter plan, after the trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clinic or medical centre | 350 (about 8 messages each) | 2,800 | $98.99 (about SAR 371) |
| Real estate office | 500 (about 12 messages each) | 6,000 | $194.99 (about SAR 731) |
| Car showroom | 400 (about 8 messages each) | 3,200 | $110.99 (about SAR 416) |
| Training institute | 200 (about 10 messages each) | 2,000 | $74.99 (about SAR 281) |
No plan fee for 14 days and your first 500 messages free, then from $14.99 a month + 3¢ per message. No setup fee. Beyond the first 500, messages are billed weekly, even during the trial. Your customers’ messages and the assistant’s replies count; a quiet month costs less. Riyal figures on this page are the dollar price × 3.75, the riyal’s peg to the US dollar held by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA).
Cards are charged in UAE dirhams: AED 55.05 a month for Starter (AED 367.25 for Done-for-you), about AED 0.11 per message. Your bank converts that to riyals at its own rate and may add a foreign-currency fee. Every invoice comes with a payment processing fee, shown as its own line. See pricing for both plans, or the UAE cost guide for what agencies and API platforms charge for the same job.

Before you connect your number
OrcaFlo links to your WhatsApp Business app by QR code, the way WhatsApp Web does, so you keep your number, your chats and the app on your phone. It isn’t Meta’s official API or an official WhatsApp app, so there is no green tick, and WhatsApp says linking an unofficial app can lead to a restriction or a ban. To lower that risk, OrcaFlo asks for an account at least 10 days old, sends broadcasts 15 minutes apart by default and holds them during quiet hours, 9pm to 9am. Nothing removes the risk completely.
A Riyadh business that lives on referrals and repeat clients can’t afford to lose its number, so read how to avoid a WhatsApp Business ban first. If you need the green tick or large template campaigns, compare the official route in a WhatsApp chatbot without the API, and see how OrcaFlo works from QR code to go-live.
Questions
Yes. You list the questions (company, need, team size, budget, timeline) and it asks them naturally, scores the lead and hands serious ones to sales with the whole conversation and an alert. It is told never to invent a price; when it doesn’t have one, it says it will check with your team.
Yes. It books into OrcaFlo’s own calendar with your working days and hours. Connect Google Calendar and it only offers times you’re free and adds each booking there; if you use Calendly, it shares your Calendly link instead.
HubSpot and Zoho CRM connections are live, and Google Sheets can get a new row for every lead. Salesforce is coming soon. See connect your CRM.
Yes. Each person gets their own login and role, and anyone can take over a chat with one tap. Assigning chats to a specific salesperson needs the team inbox, which isn’t switched on for every business yet.
Appointments, reminders and quiet hours follow your business’s time zone. Sign up with your +966 number and your business starts on Riyadh time (UTC+3); you can change it any time in Setup or in Bot Settings → Time zone & currency. Riyadh is one hour behind the UAE.
Yes. Set the tone in its instructions: formal with company clients, warmer with individuals. It replies in clear, natural Arabic or in English, matching the language each person writes in.
In-chat payment links use Strabl or Ziina, which are UAE payment providers, connected by our team. Ask us about payment links for a Saudi business. Whatever you decide, the assistant can hand payment questions and requests for a formal invoice to your team.
