How to take opt-in from users?
There are various methods to take opt-in from users.
- Have a checkmark in the lead contact form on your landing page taking consent and opt-in from users.2. Send SMS and E-mail campaigns for opt-in.
Will my number get blocked by WhatsApp if I send too many broadcast messages?
This entirely depends on the Quality Rating. If your quality rating goes down, you’ll receive a warning notification from your FB Business manager.
Still, if it doesn’t improve and continues to deteriorate, your number will eventually get blocked.
The quality rating decreases when people start blocking you and this will only happen if you are sending promotional messages to the users or without opt-in.
Can I send WhatsApp Broadcast to those users who haven’t interacted with us on WhatsApp before?
Yes, you can import all the data of users that you want to send a broadcast to in the Messegy platform and shoot them a broadcast campaign even if they haven’t interacted with you on WhatsApp before. While doing so, Messegy considers that you have taken opt-in from all the imported users.
Do I need to get these WhatsApp Broadcast messages approved by WhatsApp?
You need to get only the template messages approved. You can use these template messages for broadcasting. In case you are sending a broadcast to an Active user, you can send template messages or the regular message (which doesn’t need approval from WhatsApp).
