A worker may notice a condition while already carrying a phone and using WhatsApp. The opportunity is to capture the observation without losing the details that make it actionable. Where the WhatsApp channel is configured, Green Codes Pro provides a guided reporting conversation rather than leaving the report as an isolated chat message.

Ask for the details a reviewer needs

The intake can guide the sender through the report kind, project, description, location and confirmation. Photos can provide context. Voice transcription and AI-assisted suggestions depend on the relevant provider being configured; the reporter or reviewer still needs to check the result.

Keep a clear boundary between intake and submission

In Pro, the resulting observation is filed as a draft for staff to review and submit. This gives the team a chance to correct the wording, verify the project and decide the next step before the formal workflow continues. The sender receives a record reference rather than relying only on the chat history.

Explain who can use the channel

Configure the reporting account, access rules and any guest-reporting policy before rollout. WhatsApp reporting is not anonymous: the channel identifies the sender by phone number. Tell workers what information the safety team receives and how to use the organisation's urgent-response channels when immediate assistance is needed.

Pilot the complete handover

Test a text report, a photo and a supported voice message with authorised users. Check the draft arrives with the correct context, assign the reviewing team and verify staff can continue the normal submission process. A familiar messaging channel works best when it has a clear operational owner.
