Overview

WhatsApp enforces limits and policies to fight spam. Respecting sending pace, list quality and content greatly reduces the risk of the number being banned.

Prerequisites

  • A connected WhatsApp number.

Step by step

  1. Warm up new numbers: start with low volume and increase gradually.
  2. Send to people who opted in; avoid purchased lists.
  3. Personalize messages; avoid the exact same text in bulk.
  4. Control the pace of sends; avoid sudden spikes.
  5. Monitor replies and blocks; reduce volume if there are risk signs.

Settings & options

  • Send control: the platform helps moderate the outbound pace per inbox.
  • Campaigns: use approved templates and variables to personalize.

Use cases

  • Run a WhatsApp campaign without harming the number's health.
  • Keep consistent follow-ups without abusive bursts.

Tips, limits & best practices

  • Prefer quality over volume: engaged lists convert more and risk less.
  • Offer an easy opt-out and respect those who ask not to receive.
  • For WhatsApp Cloud, follow Meta's approved categories and templates.

Troubleshooting

  • Number blocked/temporarily banned: reduce volume, review the list and content, and wait.
  • Many complaints/blocks: revisit targeting and frequency.
