Learn how to send compliant WhatsApp campaigns, warm up new sender numbers, and improve message delivery performance.

Before sending any WhatsApp campaign through Axis, ensure your messaging follows WhatsApp policies and best practices.

1. Confirm Customer Opt-In

Ensure recipients have explicitly agreed to receive WhatsApp communication from your business.

  • Consent should align with the type of messages being sent, especially promotional campaigns.
  • Avoid using purchased, scraped, or unrelated contact databases.

2. Observe the 24-Hour Messaging Window

  • If a customer has messaged your business within the last 24 hours, businesses may continue the conversation using service messages.
  • Outside the 24-hour window, only approved WhatsApp templates can be used.

3. Use Approved Templates

For campaigns, reminders, notifications, and promotional outreach outside the customer service window:

  • Use Meta-approved WhatsApp templates.
  • Ensure messaging is clear, relevant, and policy-compliant.

4. Review Message Content

Avoid content that may violate WhatsApp policies, including:

  • Misleading or deceptive claims
  • Prohibited products or services
  • Spam-like or overly aggressive sales language
  • Irrelevant offers users did not opt into

5. Keep Campaigns Relevant

Target audiences based on customer interest, behaviour, or signup intent.

  • Use segmentation where possible.
  • Avoid sending the same message to all users if it is not contextually relevant.

6. Manage Sending Frequency

Avoid over-communication.

  • Space campaigns appropriately.
  • Limit repetitive reminders or promotions that may lead to opt-outs or blocks.

7. Include an Opt-Out Option

For non-transactional campaigns, provide users with a simple unsubscribe method. Example: “Reply STOP to unsubscribe.” This helps maintain compliance and improves message quality scores.

8. Personalize Messages

Where possible, include relevant customer context such as:

  • Customer name
  • Order or account details
  • Relevant recommendations or updates

Personalized messages generally perform better than generic mass communication.

9. Test Before Sending

Before launching a full campaign:

  • Send to an internal test group
  • Verify formatting, links, personalization fields, CTAs, and tone

10. Monitor Campaign Performance

After sending, monitor key metrics including:

  • Delivery rate
  • Read rate
  • Replies and engagement
  • Blocks and complaints
  • Overall campaign quality

If engagement declines or complaints increase, reduce send volume and improve targeting and relevance before the next campaign.

Simple Go / No-Go Rule

Only send a campaign if:

  • The customer has opted in
  • The message is relevant
  • The template is approved
  • The timing complies with WhatsApp policies
  • Users can easily opt out
