- Choose Broadcast Campaign to continue. Create a new campaign using either the 5-step wizard or a single form.
Campaign Setup Using the 5-Steps Wizard
- Set Campaign Name and Schedule in advance:
- Name Your Campaign: Choose a descriptive name that reflects your target audience and the goals of your campaign. Note that the Campaign name must be distinctive and meaningful, as it will be the primary identifier for this campaign.
- Schedule Your Campaign: Set the start date and time for your campaign. Note that the campaign can be scheduled up to one month from today’s date. This feature lets you strategically plan your marketing efforts, aligning with specific events, holidays, or product launches.
2. Select Audience: Use the Advanced Search options to determine the audience for your broadcast campaign. You have two main parameters to employ:
Created At: Filter contacts based on the date they were added into your system, using Today, This Week, This Month, or a custom date range as options.
- Attributes: Apply additional criteria using Attributes filters. These attributes are associated with the Name, Phone, Tags, or Source that were designated to your contacts upon creation.
- Opt-out Status: Indicate whether contacts who opted out of communication should be included. Three options are given:
a) All: Include all contacts, irrespective of their opt-out status.
b) Yes: Include only the contacts who have opted out of campaign communications.
c) No: Include only the contacts who have not opted out of campaign communications.
3. Select Template: Pick a pre-approved message template that matches your campaign goals. If you need a new one, there is a process to create and get it approved by WhatsApp.
- Select Template: Choose an approved template from the dropdown menu that fits your campaign’s requirements and click on NEXT button.
If you need to create a new template for your campaign, navigate to the Manage Templates section. Here, follow the process to create the template. On submitting a valid template, it will go automatically to Meta for approval. Once approved (usually in a few minutes), it will appear on your list of approved templates. You may also receive an email from Meta once the template is approved.
