🛠 Step-by-Step Guide to Create a WhatsApp Campaign

1Start a New Campaign

  • Log in to HelloSend
  • Go to Messaging → Campaign
  • Click on Create Campaign and select WhatsApp

2Enter Campaign Details

  • Provide a friendly campaign name for easy identification.
  • Select the WhatsApp-enabled number that will be used to send messages.
  • Choose the relevant CRM module where this campaign will be applied (Leads, Deals, Contacts, Accounts, etc.).
  • Map the appropriate phone fields from your CRM to ensure accurate message delivery.

Note: HelloSend supports CSV import, allowing you to upload contacts in bulk for your WhatsApp campaign.

🎯 Apply Filters to Segment Your Audience

Use filters to narrow down your audience for more targeted messaging:

  • Created Date – Contacts added after a specific date
  • Last Contacted – Reach out to recently engaged leads
  • Last Purchase Date – Retarget recent buyers or lapsed customers

Filtering boosts conversions by targeting the right audience with the right message.

Message Content

  • If a WhatsApp template is available, select and use it for the campaign.
  • If no template is selected, type your custom WhatsApp message.

Note: Ensure your message complies with WhatsApp's template guidelines if required.

HelloSend provides two delivery options based on your scheduling needs:

Immediate Delivery

  • Ensures immediate delivery and engagement.

Custom Date Delivery

  • Allows you to schedule the WhatsApp campaign for a specific date and time.
  • Useful for planned promotions, event reminders, or automated follow-ups.
  • Helps optimize delivery timing for better response rates.

  • In Progress – Messages currently being processed and sent.
  • Awaiting Status – Messages that are queued and waiting for an update.
  • Delivered – The number of WhatsApp messages successfully delivered.
  • Failure – Messages that failed due to invalid numbers, network issues, or other errors.
