  3. Upload contacts from Excel or connect your website/CRM via API.
  4. Launch your first campaign and track results in real time.

Best practices for WhatsApp Business

  • Send only to customers who have opted in — it protects your sender reputation and improves results.
  • Personalise messages with names and relevant details instead of sending one generic blast.
  • Keep messages short, with one clear call to action.
  • Schedule campaigns at times your audience is most active, and avoid late-night sends.
  • Track results for every campaign and reuse the templates that perform best.

Common mistakes to avoid

Buying unverified contact lists

Messages to people who never opted in lead to complaints, blocks and poor delivery.

Sending too frequently

Over-messaging causes unsubscribes. Plan a sensible frequency and stick to it.

Not measuring results

Without tracking clicks and conversions you cannot tell which campaigns actually work.
