Broadcasts
Creating a Broadcast
Send an approved WhatsApp template to a list of contacts.
Prerequisites
- A connected WhatsApp channel
- An approved Meta template (see WhatsApp Template Sync)
- Contacts with phone numbers
Creating a broadcast
- Go to Broadcasts and click Create Broadcast
- Enter a name for the broadcast
- Select the WhatsApp channel to send from (if you have only one, it's selected automatically)
- Choose an approved template
- If the template has variables, fill in the variable values to bind
- Select recipients — pick contacts from your directory. Contacts without a phone number are shown but can't be selected
- Optionally set a schedule (date and time). Leave it empty to send right away
- Save
Scheduling
If you set a schedule, the broadcast moves to Scheduled status and sends at the chosen time. You can cancel a scheduled broadcast before it starts sending.
Tracking results
Open a broadcast to see its progress: total recipients and per-status counts (sending, sent, delivered, read, failed). The recipients table lists each contact with its individual status. For any recipient that failed, you can retry delivery to that person.
Notes
- v1 supports selecting individual contacts. Tag- and segment-based audiences are planned for a later release.
- Only approved Meta templates can be broadcast — drafts and pending templates won't appear in the picker.
