Broadcasts

Send bulk WhatsApp and SMS campaigns to your contacts — schedule, personalise, and track delivery and read status.

What you need before broadcasting

  • At least one Approved WhatsApp message template (see Message templates).
  • Contacts imported and organised (see Contacts).
  • Enough message credits for the audience size (check your balance in Settings → Billing).

Send a broadcast

  1. 1

    Choose a channel

    Go to Broadcasts → New Broadcast. Pick WhatsApp or SMS as the delivery channel.

  2. 2

    Select a template

    Choose from your approved templates. The body with variables is shown so you can confirm the content before sending.

  3. 3

    Select your audience

    Filter by tags, custom fields, or send to all contacts. The audience count and total credit cost are shown before you proceed.

  4. 4

    Personalise and schedule

    Map template variables to contact fields (e.g. {{1}} → name). Preview a sample message, then send immediately or schedule for a future date and time.

Track results

Open the broadcast from the broadcasts list to see per-recipient delivery and read status. Failed sends are flagged with a reason (invalid number, opt-out, template rejected). A summary shows total sent, delivered, read, and failed.

SMS channel

SMS broadcasts work identically but use a text-only template with no variable substitution limit. They reach contacts who aren't on WhatsApp. SMS uses the same credit system and is dispatched through the integrated SMS provider.

Each recipient in a WhatsApp broadcast uses one message credit. A broadcast to 500 contacts costs 500 credits. Check your balance before scheduling.
