How to get help at Wati

Summary

Need help using Wati? There are several ways to find answers depending on what you're trying to do. You can search the Wati Knowledge Base with AI, explore the Astra Help Centre for AI agent documentation, learn through Wati Academy courses, or contact our support team if you still need assistance. This guide explains when to use each resource and how to reach the right team.

Instructions

Find help before contacting support

Before reaching out to our support team, we recommend checking one of Wati's self-service resources. In most cases, you'll find the answer faster than waiting for a support response.

The Wati Knowledge Base is the primary documentation portal for Wati.

The Knowledge Base contains three types of content:

  • Help articles - step-by-step instructions for enabling, setting up and configuring specific features

  • Use case guides - outcome-focused guides that show how to achieve a specific business goal using Wati, covering the problem, setup, real-world examples all in one place

  • Best practices guides - strategic recommendations to help you get better results from Wati features

  • Troubleshooting guides - focused guides for diagnosing and resolving common issues

Find answers faster with AI-powered search

Instead of browsing articles manually, you can ask the AI assistant your question in plain language.

The AI searches across the Knowledge Base and provides:

  • Direct answers

  • Relevant help articles

  • Context based on your question

Tip: Upload screenshots to help the AI better understand your issue.

If you're learning Wati or onboarding new team members, Wati Academy provides structured, self-paced training.

Interactive, hands-on courses that teach you Wati across every channel, built for marketing, sales, support, and customer success teams. It's self-paced, so you can work through it around actual work, and it's available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Bahasa Indonesia.

It's the best starting point for two situations: onboarding someone new to your Wati account, and getting properly fluent in a part of the platform you've only used at surface level.

Worth bookmarking if you're working through the courses - certification is on the way, so the time you invest now won't just live in your head.
